Getting started on the festive season

Every year I think I should start making Christmas ornaments in January but that's never happened. It's usually a mad scramble sometime in late October to get things started.
This year on the 1st of September I decided I would make an ornament a day.
It's the 14th today and I'm averaging an ornament in three days. Not too bad.   

Polar Bear Ornaments

 I've been embroidering these little Christmas ornaments for my sister's class children.

It's become a bit of a tradition.Last year was the first time I made an ornament for each child.

I made twenty one ornaments this year. I hope the package reaches on time.
Hope your plans for Christmas are coming together nicely.
The weather is beautiful, typical December weather - bright warm days and chilly cold nights. Had to start using hot water bottles last night.
Have a great weekend. 

Christmas ornaments

Every year I plan to make an ornament every month and finally in 2016 I've got around to it.

It gets more challenging because I plan to make about fifteen by the middle of April when my classmates from school plan a small three day reunion and I wanted to give each one a little something for the tree or home when Christmas rolls around.

Where I live finding gifts to buy is not easy so one has to develop the skills to make them.

This cute little reindeer is a freebie I found on Pinterest. 

I'm happy to say little Brownie has recovered from the wild boar attack, his wounds have healed and he's a happy puppy once more.

I've yet to start on the crazy quilt block for January for the Crazy Quilt Journal Project 2016. My mum helped me pick out the fabrics now I have to get started.

Lots of reports of  heavy snow, snow storms and extremely cold weather in various parts of the world. Wishing you a warm and safe place if you happen to be some place experiencing severe winter weather.
