Before Christmas Melanie www.houseelf-doings.blogspot.com sent me this Jultomtar -Scandinavian Yule elf.
I love him, he made me happy all Christmas season.


This was my 4th or 5th year participating in Chookyblue's www.chookyblue.blogspot.com Christmas swap. I was thrilled when I opened my package and saw my partner was Kris www.tagalongteddies.blogspot.com famous as one of the opam hosts.
First there was the ornaments, and then so I wouldn't be tempted I put the rest away and opened on Christmas day. When I opened them on Christmas morning I found a terrific bag, I really love it. With some goodies inside!

The past week has been busy here


A birthday!









Putting up the trees























Cookie baking!

The next few days I'm going to sew and enjoy the rest of our break!

It has been a very warm November and December, in fact my flowers are still blooming



I've been working on several Christmas gifts, I'm not sure I'll finish them all. I have lots more ideas than I do time. It seems like there are polka dots in everything I'm making lately.
