Cards now on sale!

My christmas cards are now up for sale! Check them out here.
I also have a few other bits and pieces to put up there, so keep your eyes on the shop over the next couple of weeks, or follow Holly Blues on Facebook.

I'm now sitting back for a few days and focusing on christmas presents. I'm trying to make as many as possible, so poor Liam will have to put up with art things being everywhere for just a little bit longer!
Over the last week, the temperature has dropped to real cold. And I love it! We've pulled out all the winter furs and I've knitted a couple of scarfs to keep us snug! I'm praying for snow and indulging myself with all the christmas decorations in the charity shops. We're envying my sister who's living with an american girl who is cooking them all a Thanksgiving feast tonight. Anyone cooking up something special for this weekend?

Yule

I've had my christmas cards all printed. Aren't they beaut?
I'm selling them at The Little Yellow House in Penryn and Le Shed in Newquay, as well as sending them off to Leeds with a friend for a christmas craft fair. And of course I will be putting some in my etsy store. My account has been neglected for so long that it's has been suspended, so I am hoping to sort that all out, before putting them online by Monday evening. 

Last weekend, some of Liam's family were over from France, so we had all stayed in a big farm house in Dorset, and had an early christmas. We donned christmas jumpers, ate masses of food, played games by the fire, walked across the country and collected berries and ivy to make beautiful decorations. It was a fabulous time but was very surreal stepping back to the real world and finding it still only mid November. I'm feeling festive on my own at the moment, being banned by friends to start listening to christmas tunes yet. Has anybody else got this premature noel fever?
