Christmas! (and a post of the week!)
I’ve launched Christmas in our house. Yes. I . Have. I’ve wanted to mention the ‘C’ word in the house for a long while but know it annoys the other half (and everyone else I know). Alas, November is here and it’s everywhere, hurrah!
There’s no ‘easing in’ to Christmas here, I put A Very She & Him Christmas on as soon as I woke up, I’ve made the Christmas list and bought what isn’t going to be handmade, I’ve made my list (more on that another time!), opened up the Maya Gold Green & Black’s, I’ve started a ‘food gifts’ folder on the laptop and have bought all the fabric I need for this year’s Christmas stockings. Lots more planning and scheming to be done my friends, lots more. Eep.
I’m going to be featuring some Christmas gift ideas for all purses and tastes on the blog over the coming months, as well as a few craft/recipe book reviews that might tempt you too! We all need a little help at Christmas I think!
So, this week’s post of the week comes from Meet Me at Mikes: 307 Handmade Christmas Gift Tutorials. Thank you Pip, you’ve saved us all a lot of bother! You’ll need a whole day off to go through them, but it’s great to get a bit of inspiration.
Here’s a few tutorials/recipes I’ve seen across the t’internet to get me/you started:

Yay Christmas! Thanks for the ideas! I pretty much start Xmas shopping as soon as the bf’s birthday is over at the start of Oct. No decorations until the first weekend in Dec – can’t wait! Jen x

Eeeee I’m getting very excited too, saw last night that Starbucks Xmas coffees are out at the end of the week which is exciting stuff (I love the gingerbread latte’s, they’re so festive!)
I’m currently learning how to knit so I can make my christmas decorations for my tree. Have mastered little stars so far! I am determined to make most of my gifts too this year.
Can’t wait to see your other Xmas posts 🙂

I’m looking forward to the Christmas posts. I have no time to craft this year (sad news) for Christmas but hope to do so next year once the wedding is over and I have time again.

Wowsers! You are impressive. We are visiting my uncle in Italy for Christmas so no gifts as we are now broke. Hoping it will still feel festive with a bit of Italian snow.

I’m a Christmas lover too! Bring it on!
