Brrrrr...it's cold in the Dollhouse Today!!! The first snow arrived last night while Mrs. Fox was sewing up some last minute gifts to put under her little tree.

downstairs the mouselings are busy making Gingermice to hang on the tree.....

My decorations are hung and my Tree is lit, now we must wait for Saint Nick.

Hark the Herald Angels Sing.......

there is a Furry Ewok about to attack my Tree!


Christmas Sweets!



................well getting closer each day now, hope you and yours are having sweet time this holiday season. Cheers

I have been busy with preparing little gifts, and wrapping things, doing some Christmas crafts along with my daughter, we try to do as much as we can in the way of home made gifting, it has a nice sentimental attachment to it and makes for a fun afternoon when the weather outside is frightful!


We put up our tree and made some little gingerbread girls and boys for the tree, make one then eat one was more like it! I put out some of my favorite Tasha Tudor books, like The Dolls Christmas, Take Joy, and the new addition to my Tasha collection, Becky's Christmas, I finally found a affordable copy online, even though it is a library discard it still is in wonderful condition, this is a Christmas Story that Tasha wrote herself and illustrated, I really like it, so we shall read this one along with the others, as we light out advent wreath on the dark nights of December.



I was able to make up an advent wreath to hang over my dinning table similar to the one Tasha has along with some twisted pieces of pine garland, wire candle holders and red ribbons for hanging. Well happy decorating and
nesting to you!

Tea Time



Brrrrr.....no leaves, no fruit, no flowers....that is November.....well now today is a real November day. After nursing a head cold for most of the weekend I did feel well enough to get back to my studio this afternoon, with the help of my little heater stove and hot peppermint tea, I have soothed my aches as well as my eyes...with warming up my with tea and warming up my toes. I walk my daughter to school and today was ever so damp and cold.



So enough complaining about that, and now to share some lovely inspiring books I have come across this weekend, one of the books if called Sew Pretty Christmas, I have it on loan from the library right now I may decide to buy a copy of this book for it has some lovely patterns and ideas in it! The magazine I was looking through also had so very sweet holiday decor ideas, that I thought was worth a picture, these few pics are from Romantic Homes, Jan edition, wow!!! already....I thought it was the holiday issue, oh well it is still good to look through! The tree is so cute and not overdone, I love the soft colours with bits of red and the snuggily Orange Ginger Cat perched on the chair, the pink and reds give a nice glowing warmth... that we miss from our summer days.
