Hi everyone .. its that time of year again Jo from Serendiptious is having her online advent blog hop and today is my day , the theme is Christmas Tree traditions and whether you are a star, angel or fairy tree topper .... that bit is easy I have a fairy on my tree that is older than moi and had always been on my tree at home when I was a child ... I remember my mum giving her a new dress out of a scrap of lace when I was small ....
I am trying to stitch enough ornaments to have a stitched tree and along with those that have gifted to me I think I may make it for next year ... this year the tree hasn't gone up due to a couple of technical hitches ( me being ill, fire been ripped out and new hearth laid , sweep coming last Friday and now we are looking after my 11 week old granddaughter while her parents are having a new kitchen fitted and dining room plastered etc ... )
Our traditions normally, are to have the tree up and house decorated by the 6th of December as this is our wedding anniversary and then they are all taken down by 12th night. We normally buy one new ornament a year to hang on the tree so it is very eclectic in its look and colourway too ...
Below are a couple of Christmas stitching I have done .. jingle has been stuffed and finished since this was taken ...
I hope that you all have a wonderful Christmas and enjoy going through all the blogs that have participated in this years hop.
Merry Christmas to one and all and squeak to you all soon :) love mouse xxx
