Hello again,
yup, it's the last autumn themed part today because we'll now be moving on to Christmas and winter in this mini kit series.
I normally wanted to post last Sunday, but as so often life has other plans. I was having my bathroom renovated after it was 24 years old. The bathtub and sink went in okay and looked nice, but when they wanted to remove the toilet to replace it, they found out that the water kept coming up from the sewage pipes filling the toilet to the same level as it was. So, they couldn't remove it without flooding the bathroom. They're not sure where the problem comes from and want to put a camera down the drains to find out. Considering I live on the third floor ....gravity should not be bringing sewage water up, and there is no blockage. My guess is that it's a pressure related issue.
Then the electricians installed the new shower and left my ceiling looking like Swiss cheese. I tried to get the holes dealt with but there is no plasterer appointment available until January. Bloody great! So, I did what I could to make the room okay and usable until the guys can carry on and finish my bathroom. Luckily, I already have time booked off work in January.
Right.... let's get to more pleasant things.
I posted the link to the Christmas ornaments in my last post, and here is the set of ornaments I made. Turned out great and really easy.
Give it a go :)
And it's beginning to look a little bit like Christmas here....
We always put up our Christmas decoration in time for the 1st Advent....so I took the time yesterday to get it all looking nice and festive.
New paper stars and my wooden reindeer light up garland from last year.
This wooden tree is simply filled with a LED battery operated light chain.
Festive table with my handmade candle wreath and an assortment of artificial pine, berries and holly twigs, which I put together in a vase. The battery-operated LED makes it look extra festive :)
My Advent wreath ready for the first candle to be lit on Sunday.
I might be living on my own now, but that won't stop me from making it look nice and cosy for Christmas.
So now for the craft part...
You need a metal or wooden wreath ring, some winter foliage (real or fake) and a hot glue gun. Simply arrange the foliage as you like and glue it in place -easy !
Here is my result ...pretty huh?
And I did exactly the same with this little candle wreath. Give it a go! It's really fun to make.
And now for the download freebie part.
