Christmas Blues....

Ok so like many people this year it was Christmas on a BUDGET... I hate not having enough cash to Give pressies and I have to say this year was THE worst by far where pressies were concerned.
So I decided I was going to make as many handmade pressies to give to my family but it didn't quite work out :o( how I planned......
I am really busy @ BOBBLELICIOUS at Christmas time so the 2 weeks leading up to Christmas were hectic and I did not manage to finish all the gifts I planned to make.
Then on boxing day I was STRUCK down literally with the Flu..
I have had the flu a few times in my life but this BEAT the lot.. Bed ridden, high temp, pain in every part of my body.. shivering feeling so sick I could hardly move I literally felt like I had been kicked by a horse EVERYWHERE! and now don't know how many day's later, although I am still coughing I feel a bit better but not well enough to get back crafting as my main "crafting obsession" is felt.
I really cannot face the fibres getting on my already congested chest.

 

So I thought I would blog...

 

Its not hard to see at a glance that I am rubbish at blogging I really am..
I really admire bloggers who seem to:
1. Know what to say
2. Have interesting subjects
3. Generate lot's of followers
4. Have the time,
I am totally full of admiration for them all and enjoy reading them but I really do struggle with interesting things to say myself but thought this year I will give it another go and see what happens!

So here are a few of the Handmade goodies I did manage to make....



I made at least 6 Handmade wreaths this year for my Family Members..

This one I made for my Daughter and her Hubby and as you can see it is definately not a traditional Christmas Wreath made for 2 very untraditional people lol!!

I personally wouldn't have one of these but I really enjoyed creating it with them in mind and they Loved it!

This is the design I made for the rest of my Family and I sold quite a few in my shop this year too...

I actually love putting these together although they are time consuming I really did have fun making them.

And last but no means least I made this precious little Rag doll for my equally precious little Granddaughter Summer.. I have always loved Rag dolls and this is a pattern I made up myself and it is kind of Based on Her!

 

 

 

Precious Princess Summer!
