Christmas Stitching and Other Things...

Earlier on in the month, I promised to pop back here and show you the little pot covers that I've been stitching to cover the ugly black pots that my poinsettias are in...

I love how they turned out. The poinsettia and pot cover in the top picture went to a friend as a gift and my two poinsettias have matching covers (bottom pic). They really do make such a cute addition to the mantle!

Another little quick Christmas share ...

My milk bottles that are delivered have these cute little Christmas foil caps adorned with holly. Isn't that cute? Such a lovely little touch :o)

Wishing you all a very blessed Christmas everyone...

    1. Hi Bevy :o) - it is so nice to hang onto this tradition. I remember as a child growing up in Colonial Rhodesia (Zimbabwe now) having our milk delivered. I was thrilled to see when we moved to England that they are a fiercely traditional country and hang on to some of the good old things! You pay a little extra per pint - but it is so worth it!
