Christmas is coming!!!

Well this is not as soon after my last post as I would have liked, but I had a minor set back by way of the laptop not working for a while. :(
Can't believe how fast Christmas has come this year, and we're set to have a white Christmas as well! I don't mind if its snows as long as I'm wrapped up indoors!! haha!
Anyhow, I've got my advent calendar for the kids finally finished! Hoorah! It was only 1 day late as I was so busy last week making various things to order.
Here are the pictures....

I'm thinking of making kits up for next year now to sell, as it was so satisfying making this for my children, knowing it will be used every year for a long time to come! Its a bit sketchy and rough round the edges, but seeing as I didn't have a pattern or copy it from any pictures I think its pretty good. (If I do say so myself) Had I decided to start it earlier I would have made sure that it was perfect but I quite like the rough look. Mikey's put little notes in for each day with a clue to where his choccie or little prize is! Genius! Much more fun than an average advent calendar from Asda!

On the cake front, this is my latest:

A little creation of mine for a friend for his birthday, it turned out a lot better than I thought when I first started it, so was pretty happy with this too! Not sure how it tasted as for some reason no-one cuts the cake in front of me, ever! Haha! I'm pretty confident it was a tasty one though ;) (I hope at least!)

Next little projects were the sock monkeys I made for a friend who asked me to make them for her as presents for her nieces:

I love them <3 They are made from the softest furry socks and are a purple pair and a pink pair mixed and matched! These are available in my shop as well:  http://www.folksy.com/shops/SilknRibbon
I think they make gorgeous little stocking fillers! You know what my lot are getting for Crimbo this year!

I think that I've said more then enough for one night, so I'm off to finish my costume for a fancy dress night I'm going to tomorrow night!

Ciao for now xxx
