I hereby dedicate this blog to my addiction to making and baking.

Oh Christmas tree

I love traditions and Christmas traditions in particular.  One of the lovely things about setting up your own home and starting your own little family of two is that you can start your own family traditions, as well as keeping up the old.  When I was a child, my mum would let us choose a new decoration each year when we went to get our Christmas tree from a local garden center.  Our tree was a joyful mis-match of salt dough creations, heirloom decorations bought by my Grandma in Germany and new and shiny trinkets that had caught our eyes in the treasure cave decoration aisle that year.

My new tradition in my own home and for my own tree is to make a new decoration each year.  Last year I made this Babushka, from Felties by Nelly Pailloux.



I have been searching for a pattern for this years decoration and came across these beauties:

Half eaten gingerbread man


Personalised Onesie

Felt baubles - these would also make beautiful Christmas cards
String Baubles - this is an Easter project but I think they would look great on a tree!

Modeling clay snowflakes
Happy December 2nd!
