Now I'm feeling all Christmassy :)
No crochet to show this week I'm afraid. I've been working on My pressies for lovely Sarah at squiggling about http://squigglingabout.blogspot.co.uk/, trying to get organised for LaaLaas Advent swap...
If I disappear over the next few weeks its just Mam and Dad are moving and all hands are needed to pack up the old house and decorate the new one.....
Hopefully I wont be away too long,
take care all,
love julieXxXxXx
Ooh I do LoVe coloured fairy lights, there's something very nostalgic about them :)

Hello Heidi, I'm going to pop over now,I just LOVE gnomes :) there hats are so cute xxxxx
DeleteSo glad to see I'm not the only one that lies to turn on lights early. My granddaughter wants to put the Christmas tree up and being seven it's hard to wait.
ReplyDeleteOh bless her, its just so exciting when you are little :) xxxx
DeleteI heard the first Christmas advert on the radio yesterday,the stores are loading their shelves with Christmassy stuff,and you have fairy lights glowing. I refuse to play until Dec 15th when we put our Christmas decorations up!!
ReplyDeleteJane x
Hi Jane,My Mums the same,the 15th,We usually put up our tree at the begining of December,Our daughters birthdays on the 7th and She loves the tree being up :) xxxxx
DeleteI love the festive theme! We've been quietly collecting things for Christmas for a few weeks. I love this early stage where it starts to feel festive but things aren't too manic! Jx
ReplyDeleteI agree Jan,this is the best time for browsing shops before it gets to busy :) xxxx
Deleteit's never too soon for fairylights! there's something about the non LED ones like yours that are so much more christmassy I think!
ReplyDeleteI agree Harriet,the coloured ones remind me of being little and mesmerized by the shop windows at christmas :) xxxxx
DeleteIt's never too early! Im excited by seeing your lights. I can't wait. I can't wait.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the move!

DeleteI have fairy lights round one of my dressers - they stay there all year :) Thinking of getting some of the fireplace that might accidentally stay up all year too!!
ReplyDeleteHi Vicki, that sounds lovely ;) I just love fairy lights and you can never have too many :) Xxxx
DeleteIts not to early at all, I have put some along the top of our bed today and Im getting the decs out the garage this weekend to see what I have and what I am going to make to add to it...

I always feel more Christmassy in November than December and then I wait and wait for the right time and then somehow lose the magic feeling. I think i will also go for it when I feel like this year which is about now! Hope your Mam and Dad's move goes well. xxx

Dear, sweet Julie, I don't think it is too early for Christmas decorating. I have had my autumn decorations out for so long, I put them away and have began my Christmas decorating too. Your fairy lights look lovely! Take good care dearest and I hope all goes well with your parent's move. I miss you! Lots of love sweetie, Paula xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh Julie, I love your heart wreath with the fairy lights.
ReplyDeleteWishing you love and light.

I can't wait to put up my decorations and tree. I'm planning on sneaking a few decorations and lights up in the next week or so!
ReplyDeleteYes, far too soon! But they are very cheery so you'e forgiven ;)
ReplyDeleteHello Julie
ReplyDeleteNever too soon to enjoy some Christmas sparkle....my daughter takes ages to take her Christmas decorations down because she likes them so much!! She says they are an extra sparkle in her life!
keep well
Amanda :-)
Hi Julie: No it is never too early for ancient lights or heart wreaths! I love your new look, I have been remiss about visiting good friends for awhile. Just wanted to say hello and how exciting getting Mom and Dad settled into a new home..Happy Weekend..Judy
