Last order for Christmas

I posted my last order of the year yesterday, and I am looking forward to having a week off all work! I haven't made a set of these cufflinks for a while, so I really enjoyed making these.

These were a last minute Christmas order from someone who purchased a set of these ( different text of course) a few years back.

The idea for this cufflink design came when I had to make a set of cufflinks for a friend for his wedding. His wife to be wanted him to feel like he was taking something familiar down the isle, as he was very nervous. Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris were the name on his cufflinks, I have made many more with different text over the years.

Well, this is officially my first day off since September, and I am tucked up in front of my fire, full of cold! Why is it when you finally slow down your body decides its had enough?! I put up some Christmas decorations last night after getting in, it's good to see some vibrant colours in the kitchen. I have hung stockings on the ray burner and dressed thd table.

Later on today I shall bring the tress down and make the place feel like christmas has arrived!! Because I just can't believe it's in a few days....... I haven't bought 1 gift!

I have however been crocheting every spare minute, so maybe there is a way forward with the gift idea. My dad could definitely do with a hat!! I have been working with dusty colours lately, with a flash of salmon pink ( my new favourite colour, who knew I would like any kind of pink!) and pompoms! I really like pompoms!!

Here are some details of my very own giant needle blanket, the fibres look so good! I really need to finish of my rug, it's upstairs in a bag, the blanket I'm using to make it sheds little bits everywhere, I have just hoovered so I don't want to get white fluff everywhere!! But I must get it off the needles do I can start a new project!

Well, I'm going to have a coffee and think about that Christmas list.......... Hmmmmmmm

I have been trying the big knitting and my living room is now also covered in white fluff, so I feel your pain. But the resulting rug is looking very good!

Good luck with the list - remember the pop up shop is open till 4 on Saturday. There is also the Art 360 shop, and the apple store gallery on bridge street if you are looking for some handmade gifty goodness.

Have a merry Christmas
