Christmas is a-coming

For the first time in years I am looking forward to Christmas. I know it is only the start of October and I hate that the shops already have stuff in for it but I am feeling a little bubble of excitement brewing...

Having Radish has brought a whole new meaning to Christmas. I know he is only one but I am having fun making Christmas themed things for him and anyhow we can bring them out each year.  I have some decorations on the go at the moment ( will post them later)  but I am so pleased with my Advent calendar that I had to take some pics and show him off.


Isn't he lovely. I am so chuffed with him. I need to iron his body and add his hat trimming (white to match his cuffs with a sprig of holly) and the ribbon to hang him but I am sooooo pleased with him, so here he is! My own Ta Dah moment :-)


Ohhh and I have to add the little sack that I have made to match his number 24. His little mustache is very cute and flops back and forth when you carry him.


Do you like his little boots :-) The little wooden heart buttons came from some clothes I got at the White Stuff sale - I love their little tags with it's collection of buttons - came in good use here. The flower buttons I used for his cuffs.

Ho Ho Ho
