Hello my lovelies, how are we all?
It's pretty cold, grey and miserable here today, perfect weather for snuggling down, eating something comforting and watching a family film :)

| Mmm, porridge with bananas and raisins |
The snowflakes are now blocked and hung
Instead of hanging them bunting style, I decided to decopatch a wooden coat hanger with pretty pink/red/green paisley papers and hang them off it.
In a couple of weeks time when I decorate the house for Christmas they will take pride of place in the front window.
Sorry about the poor photo quality in this post, the light here is terrible!

| Hanger close up |
Mistletoe leaves are currently on my hook, awaiting their white berries. These will then hang on my vintage mirrors along with some crochet holly.
After seeing lots of these little candle holders on Pinterest I decided to make my own using Pride & Prejudice papers
I do so LoVe candlelight, but this is battery powered candle light, pretty good huh?
Right-o, off to prepare tonight's dinner and cuddle up with the Little Sweetpea's on the sofa, possibly with something hooky in tow.

ReplyDeleteThe crochet mistletoe is also a good idea !
Those snowflakes are so pretty, and I love the idea of the decopatched hanger too! Have you tried sprinkling chocolate chips on your porridge? That's my guilty pleasure! ;-)

I'm a porridge fan too, honey in mine, might try this one! :)
ReplyDeleteDear Victoria
ReplyDeleteYou're well ahead of the game! Lovely decorations (and porridge). My Christmas bunting has been cut out and tacked together, but that is as far as it has got (hangs head in shame). Must try harder!
Best wishes
Ellie
Aww have a lovely cosy evening with your little folks, Victoria.
ReplyDeleteI love your creative makes, especially the mistletoe...

I love the candle holders!!
ReplyDeleteYour snowflakes look so good, I bet the mistletoe will be fantastic too! Using the hanger was a great idea. I can't stop thinking how pretty a Christmas tree decorated with crochet snowflakes, mistletoes etc. would be.
Have a great evening! :)
I love the snowflakes they turned out brilliantly and your mistletoe will be beautiful when finished.
ReplyDeleteI am sure your little ones are looking forward to Christmas and are very excited, it is lovely when they are small and innocent.
Very cold and damp here today Victoria so am snuggling up and staying warm.
Enjoy your evening.
