Its beginning to look a little like Christmas

 Although ive been flat out with work and getting ready for my anual day care aproval ive been slowly but surely enjoying the beginning of summer and the lead up to Christmas by making some simple decorations. Its been a very wet Summer so far. The past couple of days Port Wakefield has been on flood warning!
 I made some rolled bees wax christmas candles this afternoon with stars. When the first one was lit and filling the air with its honey smell it sudenly felt like christmas was on its way. Im glad for the weekend and seems Benny has to work tomorrow morning I will be crafting up some Christmas presents.

(I just lit them both this evening and couldnt resist another picture)


last weekend (or was it the weekend before?) Anneke came over and we decorated Mum and Dads tree together (what a ridiculously lame photo of us all he he:)

    Gorgeous window decorations. I like the combo of the coloured windowstar with the white cutouts- time to get busy with my scissors

    This stuff all looks gorgeous. Sorry I haven't visited for ages, but then i get to see lots of posts! My Oma is Dutch to, from Leiden. The fruit on my blog was a starfruit - you just slice them and eat them. Or just eat them whole. Yum! Your decorations are looking charming!! xxx
