Xmas leftovers

Xmas is not over at midnight on the 25th. The house is still decorated; I have two presents waiting for friends who will only be seen later this week; there are Xmas cake, chocolate and biscuits in the tin.

And some leftover Xmas doodles ...

Somewhere that is not here

Sometimes I wish to be somewhere that is not here ...

Christmas is Coming ...

This year I made origami star garlands from book pages and glitter ...

... and paper chains decorated with birdies.

No tree this year - just branches from my rosemary bush hung with decorations ...

... and silver baubles nestled amongst shells and painted stones.

The ornaments I made last year are used again ...

... they make great gift tags.

I made a heap of these crackers. Yay - another dent in my tp-tube stash. The labels were cut from tea-stained pages and lettered in my very best handwriting (i.e. not my usual griffonage - such a lovely word that...)

So, except for my collection of Santas, which provides some colour in the hallway, quite a monochrome Christmas. Fairy lights will be added later this week, and then I'm done! Are you decorating?
