Christmas with homemade and frugal gifts

[sarabee]

So is he ......he finishes for the summer holidays soon though...19th December to 4th February !!!!

'Summer holidays' sounds so strange when it's cold and damp here

It is strange ...pretty warm at the moment ... it's 8.30pm and it's still 20 degrees here...the nights are getting lighter which is always a pity as you can't see the christmas fairy lights till so much later

Hi,
the quilts and hampers I made for chiristmas went down really well, was hoping to post some pics but can't seem to manage it, anyone got any ideas?

cheers

The truffles and millionaire shortbreads I made went down very well. The cello bags I bought from a £ shop really made the goodies look great.

I have only spotted this fabulous thread today. What a massive amount of talent on the Lane. Manda, I love your decorations, what lovely colours. Perchy, are your brooches crocheted?
