belated xmas puds!

At christmas I made a gingerbread house for my nephew to mess around with and I found the photos whilst I was sorting out all the other things that need posting! Also a chocolate yule log. 

Christmas presents

I made some layered hot chocolate jars for people the other day. The larger are for couples and the smaller for 1 person. Each have cocoa powder, marshmallows, and a mix of dark, milk and white choc chips. Although my brother went and ruin my well laid plans and got back with his girlfriend from 4 years ago! damn him, love them both though.

the finished product

So remember the half stocking? Well its done I finished it yesterday complete with an i cord loop. Im dead impressed with how it looks, Steven told me he was so proud of me as he thinks it looks awesome. 

So one down 16 to go! 

christmas countdown!!!

So I have started my christmas stockings. Im knitting one for everyone in my family including Steven and I. Thats what erm like 17 so I have to get cracking. they are all going to be different too. Im making my own designs within a premade pattern. Here is the first half of one.

As it is made to be sewn together it does look mishapen but it will look better once finished.

Do you have any plans for christmas? Are you going homemade too?

my tree decoration

This is my first tree decoration. Its a christmas jumper. Its a fair isle snowflake I think and I'm super impressed with it. As I have never attempted it before.

8/30 passions! ooo er

5 Passions this should be easy!

2. Steven. I love talking about him, he definitly is my better half.

3. Italian food - good italian food, whether it be cooking it or eating it mmmm.

4. Taking photos of stupid things, I dfont do this nearly enough anymore and it makes me sad.
