Wishing it was time to put the Christmas tree up, wishing it was time to put the Christmas tree up...
It doesn't seem very long ago since I heard about Miriam's Christmas Tree Decoration Swap and couldn't resist adding my name to the list. I'm so glad I did: this week an absolutely beautiful star arrived here from Honoré (who blogs at Morning Glory Studio). Isn't it lovely? It has travelled half way across the world to be with us this Christmas, and it will be slipped onto a branch of our tree with pride. Soon, I hope, soon. Thank you so much!
I made a decoration to put in the post too. maybe you'd like to see? This one went to Amy in Australia. I thought a little hand knitted woollen would be fun to send to a sunnier kind of celebration!
That's a Christmas cake decoration it's sitting beside.
Many thanks Miriam for bringing everyone together for Christmas.It's been a pleasure. As the decorations have been arriving we have been adding them to the linky here - feeling festive? that's where to go! happy getting-ready-for-December everyone. See you on Sunday?
Oh! that is just so beautiful Sian. When I thought about the swap I had no idea it would bring quite so much pleasure, talent and love to our homes this Christmas. Thank you for joining in and for linking up.
ReplyDeletethat's beautiful, I have enjoyed seeing all the swaps arrive!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful! Our tree will be up and decorated this weekend. Hopefully, the rest of the house as well. My story is written; waiting for some good light for the photos.
ReplyDeletethe sweater is so adorable
ReplyDeleteIt seems to have been a perfect swap, from all the deliciousness I've seen appearing on blogs worldwide. I love that you sent Amy a knitted jumper!
ReplyDeleteSitting here in my sleeveless shirt I smile at the woolen in the ornament. :D
ReplyDeleteThe star you received is just beautiful and your jumper is so much fun! So YOU! Love it :D
ReplyDeletethey are both lovely. I saw your little jumper on Amy's blog. Great job
ReplyDeleteI saw this on Amy's blog - it is amazing! That must have been so fiddly to make. Beautiful idea for a blog swap.
ReplyDeleteVery cute little jumper. You were both very lucky!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea :) I love the decoration you received, and the little knitted jumper is adorable! x
ReplyDeleteOh both are lovely. I've been enjoying seeing all the ornaments arriving :)
ReplyDeleteOh such a beautiful ornament you received. The internet makes our world seem like not such a huge place. Love the sweater ornament! It is brilliant!! Our tree is already up. I put it up so early this year as I was going through all of my ornaments and putting together a bunch to give to my daughter for her first Christmas tree away from home. My tree will be up so long that the ornaments might need a dusting soon. LOL
ReplyDeleteWe won't decorate until the middle of the month - in the meantime, our lovely little jumper, which is adored each day by little fingers and eager eyes, is waiting to find its place.
ReplyDeleteThat pink star is pretty fabulous - very festive indeed!
What beautiful decorations! It's so much fun seeing all the wonderful creations that have been sent around the world.
ReplyDeleteThe star is beautiful and that little jumper you sent? Too cute! Hoping my laptop has survived it's coffee bath and will be back in action in time for StS tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little sweater! Jumper...whatever, it's adorable! love the star too. We're decorating the tree tomorrow here.
ReplyDeleteI have been loving the discovery of what everyone participating has sent or received! I LOVE your little sweater and the star from Honoré is superb in all its golden hues... I can't wait to get my little goodie from Ailson to share on my blog!
ReplyDeleteSeeing all the Christmas ornaments popping up has been lovely. Your cute little jumper and the beautiful star, what treasures x
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful star! And I love the sweater you knitted for Amy :)
ReplyDeleteA beautiful star and a gorgeous jumper! You are both very talented :).
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant idea, that star is indeed lovely,great colours and your decoration evokes cosy nights in round the tree to me x
ReplyDeleteThat jumper is so cute but I bet it took a lot of work :)
ReplyDeleteBoth of these are lovely ornaments. We have the Santa tree up & decorated, the toy tree up & ready to be decorated & the "other ornaments" tree up & ready to be decorated. We had planned to be finished this weekend, but it will probably be a few more days before all the decorating is done.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ornament received and precious one sent! What a perfect exchange.

Two wonderful looking ornaments! I'm curious what did you use to knit the little pullover? I once did some knitting to put in a layout and ended up using toothpicks for needles - ouch!
ReplyDeleteHello Sian, I occasionaly peep in here silently to see how you are doing and was delighted to see you still run Storytelling Sunday - then I spotted you'd mentioned me so thought I'd better say hello! I am not blogging, I am barely scrapping as I have a 1yr old who keeps me very very very entertained now :-) I am just about keeping up with the least stylish Journal Your Christmas ever, it's more about the memories than the products for me now! Hope you are doing well, lovely to see your blog doing so well too :) I'm on Twitter ocassionally if you Tweet - @peachystream or Pinterest makemydayuk big hugs, Kate x
ReplyDeleteYou are so right--this was a fun exchange...the ornament I received from Andy will debut on my blog sometime this weekend--as soon as we get our tree decorated.
