Lovely - it's good to have such moments isn't it?
ReplyDeleteThe commercialisation makes me feel a bit sick. It's nice to have a quiet time at home and avoid it all. You have been busy making things - the perfect time of year for making and baking. Hope you have a good time at the parties.
ReplyDeleteThat does look like a fascinating book ... I'm sure if I was still home-schooling I'd have been reading it.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, the over commercialism of Christmas saddens me too.
Wow! You have been busy, there is so much to do at this time of year. Especially when you try to make as much homemade as you can xx
