Here comes Santa Claus!

Yeay my christmas spirit has arrived in bucket loads and right on time....... only 5 sleeps :)  And I am so happy that I have managed to complete my final Purple Haze challenge ....... yes one a week since the challenge blog began until now....... quite an achievement for me. The very last one is Penny Black Christmas and I love Penny Black and I love christmas so the biggest challenge this week was to decide which cute image to use.....I chose Thinking of you....... Oh and getting my creation dry and photographed without anyone eating it :) xx Jayne xx OOOPs sorry it is a Candy Cane Wreath ... :) x

And here's one I made earlier!

Well it really was a bit of a case of here is one I made earlier for this weeks purple haze challenge..... the theme was colours of christmas and I made a card. I wasn't 100% happy with said card and so I started again and made a crystal snowflake bracelet....... beautiful as it is ..... it didn't seem right for the challenge  so I was struggling. Then whilst knitting a scarf for a christmas present ..... I fell in love with the colours and the sparkle of silver that runs through them which I doubt will have been captured in the photograph....... the whole thing shrieked colours of christmas at me........... can you enter a scarf in a challenge ..... well knitting is a craft and I made it myself so yes I suppose I can, The only down to this story (unless you are me) is that the scarf is so gorgeous and pretty ..... oh and warm that it has to stay with me......so I'm off to buy more yarn this afternoon so that I can start the present all over again..

..... note to self...... choose yarn that you don't like or you'll be knitting forever xx Jayne xx

Baubles

Baubles..... well hangers for baubles are my make for this weeks Through the Purple Haze challenge. I never like the bits of shiny cord that come on baubles....... I don't like ribbon as I think it looks too bulky....... I don't like the strange bent wire hangers you can buy and bent paper clips are now a thing of the past now too....... I have been beavering away with beads and have made some bauble hangers that I am very happy with and are worthy of  the Fisk family baubles ........ what I could really do with now is a couple of extra weeks....... I feel so far behind after being poorly for so long that I'm beginning to wonder if the tree will be up in time for christmas ...... xx Jayne xx
