Gorgeous Wreath and a Messy Creative Space

Hello my dears and Happy December. That snook up and bit me on the bum. I usually have all of my Christmas shopping done by the end of October but not this year. Here we are in December and I am nowhere near done, oh the panic!

This morning it was like Christmas had come early for me. As some of you will already know I was the ever-so-lucky winner of Bunny Mummy's gorgeous wreath giveaway. Jacquie ever so bravely went out in the very deep snow and near Siberian temperatures to post it yesterday and by some miracle it arrived today. It's fabulous and was put up immediately.....


Isn't it fabulous? 
Here's a closer look...


I love it, especially the crochet star in the middle. Thank you so much Jacquie!!!

In other news I have a rather messy creative space this week. My friend has asked me to make her and her hubby's Christmas gift this year. As they do quite a lot of travelling I have decided to use maps of their favourite places. I can't show you the finished piece just yet but here is peek at our dining table looking rather messy...


For more creative spaces take a peek at kootoyoo.

Thanks for stopping by. Take care and stay warm

  7. What a great wreath. My friends and I had a wreath-making night last Friday.. the traditional holly kind. Had to rush our way through though as our first snow started to fall and we had to head off early.
