pillow for my niece reverse side of the same pillow for my niece

large cushion for my nephew

He wanted something to put on the floor in his bedroom so he could lay and read

pillow for Nonna Julie

the kids did a drawing of Nonna and her beloved cat Seiko (who died a few months ago aged 18 years)

a close up of Seiko

This gift bought a few tears when opened by Nonna

Cushion for Lucy I copied from her self portrait she drew when she was four years old cushion for Oliver I copied from his self portrait drawn when he was four years old also

And finally my handmade gift tags

Belle and Boo christmas scenes sewn with silver thread onto cardboard

These were a last minute thought, quickly thrown together, I will do more of these next year

And next year I will start my preparation for christmas much earlier and I WILL MAKE THAT ADVENT CALENDAR I HAVE WANTED TO DO FOR TWO YEARS NOW !!!!!!!!!
