Who knew the recycling bin collections were coming at 6am today instead of their usual Monday - not me 😭🤦🏽‍♀️😭🤦🏽‍♀️ I have now got a huge pile of packing boxes and recycling to be cleared, feel particularly un-festive as does every where else at the moment - I missed my turkey order as was in a December denial house move chaos and only just written my Christmas cards so apologies if they don’t make it on time 🤦🏽‍♀️ please tell me how to get into the festive spirit?? All suggestions welcome!
On that note here’s a bear of peace amidst the chaos!

So it’s been a while and a little later than expected but christmas is here!
I’m sure you’ve seen all the people feeling nostalgic and looking back at Christmas pasts and colourful decorations well this little helping is festive as f* with candy canes and greenery and colour and just a lot of joy … look out for the wind in the willows and the Mary Poppins inspired ones and who can’t help loving the overwhelmed bear all wrapped up or the night before Christmas, good king Wenceslas and little donkey .. all the Christmas feels of days gone by xx 🎄🎅🏽🫏🦁🧸

Hey all you lovely people thank you for the love on the previous posts … I am so happy with the leopard!
Anyways I just wanted to let you know things may be a bit quiet on here … we are undertaking a house move, a big challenge so focus will be on making things liveable 😂🤦🏽‍♀️😭 i keep telling myself continuously it will be worth it in the end! … anyways I will definitely still be making domes and the Christmas ones will appear as usual but what I’m asking is that if you want something special, personalised or random … yes I do get some crazy requests 😂or that any of the shops with large orders please can you give me a little more notice than usual, don’t not ask as I’m still making it’s just so I can find a window of making time amongst the chaos!! Xx
