Happy Xmas everyone! We've had a lovely time here, I'm a bit frazzled but in good spirits!

Have a lovely Winter Solstice everyone! We have made a Yule log cake this year, Pehr did an amazing job decorating...making a house with chocolate Matchsticks with After Eight roof! Edible berries, and real xmas trees. The best bit is doing the snow. Very much looking forward to our two extra minutes of sun per day from now on xxx

So yet again, it is xmas.

I am posting some photos here from my big camera so that I can easily use them for social media, anyone else do that? 

Xmas is a crazy time for me because its when most people buy jewellery and I also have to do xmas single handed, which not always that easy or fun, but I am always glad I did it and see those gleeful faces on xmas morning. It is really my favourite time of the year.

I also have the addition of a four legged child too. I have been walking about 2 hours per day for a year, I have not noticed any difference to my wobbly bits (they are still wobbly) but it must be doing something good right? I have seen a lot of wildlife.

I always breathe a big sigh of relief when I get to the end of xmas jewellery orders, not just because I can relax for a bit, but mainly because we made it financially for another year, and that's a huge accomplishment I try to remind myself of. I have been having a funny feeling lately, like a warm fuzzy sensation in my eyes and legs and I think it may be happiness. (or iron deficiency)

Thank you to each and every customer, I truly feel so supported and appreciated.

I haven't yet wrapped up presents (although the kids are reminding me on the hour every hour) but after that is done is when I get out the port and After Eights, put my feet on the coffee table, and declare myself drunk until January. 

(just joking, as the only adult in the house I have to be available to drive to a&e at any given moment).

Below are some xmassy snaps from this year at ours...

The children decorated the tree this year! (And I didn't need to move anything afterwards).
