As always Christmas day came and went so quickly. All those weeks of planning and preparation leading up to the big day, and then - phhht - it's all over again for another year.
A good time was had by all and DN has proved to be the fastest unwrapper of presents in the world. If paper ripping was ever made an Olympic sport he'd definitely win gold. This was his piece de resistance present-wise.
An incredibly fast go-kart. For a four-year-old DN has an amazing ability to use a steering wheel and is quite the little speed freak. Maybe he'll be the next Lewis Hamilton!
I had some gorgeous presents too. Among other things there were -
A lovely Sylvac bowl from DN (chosen with a bit of help from his Mummy).
A set of four vintage Alfred Meakin dessert dishes and a serving bowl from my sister.
From my Mum, a lovely china Scottie dog brooch.
And this wonderful Scottie dog clock.
Everyone had at least one handmade present from me, and my brother-in-law had requested some knitted organic cotton face flannels at the 11th hour so his present was totally handmade. I also gave Mum one of Hilda May's beautiful padded camera cases.
It's just the right size and thickly padded so the camera can't be damaged.
Hope you all had a good time over Christmas too.
Glad you had a lovely Christmas - the Meakin dishes are just like the Meakin cake stand I have of my mothers - I use it to display some of my pincushions at craft fairs. Hope that your new year is all you hope for x
