12 Months of Christmas - January...


I am happy to say that I am up and running on my 12 months of Christmas.  If you are new to my blog the 12 months of Christmas is an idea made up by myself, Linda & Susan (The Three of Us) as a way to be more organised for Christmas by starting now and working on a christmas project every month for 2013.

My first project (photographed above) is some very cute (and small) christmas embroidery's.  This will be a gift which is why I can't show you more right now.  I feel so happy that my first handmade gift is underway and without any pressure, seeing as I have all year (LOL!).  It feels good to be making a handmade gift knowing that I have time to enjoy the process of making as well as the joy of giving.

Incase you would like to play along here is our list of projects:-

 JANUARY: free choice...OPTIONAL!

FEBRUARY : Christmas Tree Skirt
MARCH: Christmas table runner
APRIL : Christmas stockings
MAY : Square table runner
JUNE : Finish BOM
JULY : Christmas Cards
AUGUST : Catchup month
SEPTEMBER : Tags and wrappings
OCTOBER : Project inspired by Pinterest
NOVEMBER : December Daily/ Journal Your Christmas preparation
DECEMBER : EAT DRINK AND BE MERRY!!!

Please feel free to play along and don't be to concerned about this list. You may have your own list and that is perfectly fine.  If we keep plugging away at our list, come December all we will have left to do is EAT, DRINK & BE MERRY!  I feel happy and organised already.

I would love to know what wonderful things you have planned for Christmas!

Bring on the eat, drink and be merry!
Love me :-)

Good you have made a start. I made a Christmas book does that count other than that I had better come up with something.

I'm soooo excited about this idea, so glad to be a part of you ladies for this. It will be so nice to relax in December knowing everything is done already. YIPPEE!!

oohhh I love that your making surprises. That's my plan too.

My first project this month is something with GOLD thumbtacks which I can't seem to find. If not then I will have to get out gold paint and use them on the white ones. Hope to share soon if I can get them done.
