So much for my advent calendar!

Blogging has taken a bit of a back seat of late. Who wants to blog when there are Christmas decorations to fling about the big boofy tree (much bigger than I remembered!!) and lights to set to twinkling all about - plus the candles, the sleigh, the cards pegged along the mantelpiece ...

And there's still so much more to come - I have plans!! (involving a wreath or two, fabric wrapped lights, stockings to be made (all 6 of them!), presents to be wrapped and much baking to be done! To borrow the words of Pip from Meet Me At Mike's, Hurrah!!!

We are 10 days out. I have two days (well one and a half) left at work. I have managed to do something Christmasy each night this week - tonight was baking (details tomorrow)

Here's one pic of my handiwork so far ...

 Love these little Ikea lights run on batteries. Ideal for this and for a few other strategic spots like the mantlepiece in the header pic above.

More shots tomorrow, plus results of my evening's baking (have to charge my camera now!)
