Two days before the festivities begin and I think we might be just about ready! Stacie and I have been having fun with a gingerbread house kit (Morrisons £4, I can't get over what good value this is!). Stacie has badgered me for several years now to buy a kit and I have held off because I felt they were always expensive - and looked complicated! However, this one was dead easy and while I had to do the construction bit (with Stacie holding things in place) and the icing, she was able to add the sweetie decorations and thoroughly enjoyed herself. Trouble is, it will be a shame to break into it to eat it!
Despite tearing around Christmas shopping, sorting out the house, finishing off the day job (yay!) and wrapping presents, I have managed to squeeze in a little painting time. This is a small coloured pencil work of a toadstool we saw on a dog walk a few weeks ago. I'm using Faber-Castell coloured pencils - one of Amazon's Black Friday bargains - and they are gorgeous! Very slow and painstaking, but very therapeutic!
And while taking a short break from the Nudinits knitting, I've been doing some other crafting. This is a purse in the shape of a goldfish....I got the clasp free with a knitting magazine and it just shouted out to be used as a mouth. The purse will no doubt be totally impractical, but will look cute at least!
