12 Days of Christmas 2022 Gallery

[Edel]

day 2 and three

It got too late to post yesterday but look at what @seeuudee sent me for day two. Fabulous!

And it’s got a glitter stem!!! I will be drinking all the wine from this, this weekend.

And today’s. Look at the brilliant wrapping. I love fabric gift bags, this will be used forever.

(I don’t think that my partner got the message that these were small! She completely spoiled me and this was a very stressful swap for her in terms of postage. )

She sent me this amazing book full of paper crafting fodder and vintagey ephemera. Loads of pix to follow. (@seeuudee this really deserves its own post)

Inside, the first page is an envelope filled with beautifully colourful fodder

Then each next page contained gorgeous papers and a little divider with a pocket for more fodder.

So much work!

That book would have made my 12 days of Christmas all on its own! The leaves…please, please make a separate post of this fabulousness, @seeuudee !

@aimr Will do

Glad you liked it Edel, it started off with just a few bits and pieces tucked in and I just kept on adding to it

day4 ok it’s 1am so technically day 4, I’m going to bed but I couldn’t resist opening.

These two super cute gnomey decorations. With more yummy chocolate.

Day 5 flamingo themed. This really fun book (which will eventually find it’s way into my husband’s grandaughters hands, I have no doubt) and a great shopping tote. I never have enough of these so this will be really useful.

that’s some great flamingo greatness you have going on!!! i’m with @geekgirl on the awesomeness of those pipecleaner flamingos!! i’d be super tempted to keep them up all year round. @seeuudee is definitely knocking it out of the park!!

cant wait to see the rest of the package!!

[seeuudee (Gini 🇬🇧)]

I saw that image and I just couldn’t resist I didn’t even have tote bag on my list originally - it was added because of this image!

[Edel]

Day6 these lovely blocks that make a cute Christmas puzzle, there are different images in each side

[Edel]

day7 this gorgeous winged heart picture on a mini easel. I love this

[seeuudee (Gini 🇬🇧)]

So pleased you like it. It was a little tough to let this one go, and it isn’t a style I would usually go for. I was inspired by your great Pinterest board

[Edel]

I really really lovely it, it’s totally my style

[Edel]

day8(or maybe 9, I’ve lost track)

Chocolates!!! Good chocolate, yummy stuff

[Edel]

Day9 this great set of blank notecards. I never have enough of them and these are lovely.

day10 this beautiful little wall hanging, woven on a piece of driftwood I think. I love the wee stars

[seeuudee (Gini 🇬🇧)]

I actually picked the piece of wood up on a walk in the New Forest woodland, but it is so like driftwood, isn’t it?

[Edel]

It really is! I love the weathered texture. How did you do the weaving?

Day 11 this fabulous crocheted Dreamcatcher. I simply adore the colour combo in this, is really frosty and wintery.

We have a large wall built from reclaimed windows on the North side of our deck. It gives loads of shelter and I love how it looks. The windows are ones that came out of the house, when we replaced them with triple glazed ones. They provide the perfect frame for this Dreamcatcher.

[seeuudee (Gini 🇬🇧)]

I created a small loom out of cardboard, fixing the wood along the top and including it when I wrapped the warp threads. Not sure I would do it like that again, it was quite difficult to control I think I would do the weaving first and then sew it onto the wood afterwards

It looks perfect in that window

I love your wall of windows. It’s so hot and sunny here in Texas that we would have to put curtains on them, LOL, but I’m bookmarking your photo. I would like to do it when we retire to a more accommodating climate.

O.M.G

You guys!! Look at this @steiconi @geekgirl @photojenn @AIMR @Abbeeroad @Smmarrt @Cindy @jemimah And all the rest of the paper arts people.

This is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen and it’s all mine

Day 12

Miniature book case, made out of a famous five book (brilliant) the first thing I opened was this fabulous ivy plant

The spool of thread is for scale.

Then this. Loads of more parcels to open. Ack the excitement!!

And then amazing treasure after amazing treasure came out. Loads of books, all different all just fabulous.

A photoAlbum

Complete set of Harry potter

And you would think that was amazing by itself, but there’s more. A journal, with pages and dividers and a bound in envelope with more paper inside. I cannot emphasise how tiny these are.

And this amazing thing. A book in its own book box. I have a weakness for book boxes.

But then you open it and it’s a pop up book!! 12 pages of pop up flowers . At this point my husband who is working in the hall said “another oh my God?”

And it gets better!! This lovely fabric bound book

Which opens into a miniature miniature dolls House!!!

At this point I’m probably hyperventilating.

This wee basket with scrolls and tiny envelopes filled with more tiny papers

And at this stage you kinda think it couldn’t get more awesome. There were these super cute little boxes, one a Harry potter monopoly game. You can see them in the first picture on the shelf.

I opened one!!!

Filled with tiny papers.

Then I opened the monoply box. There is a full game inside!!!

The cards, are printed on both sides and the money, so tiny.

I’m terrified to sneeze right now, they are that small.

And I opened the third box, which is this size

To find a full deck of playing cards, with Jokers

I will have to put all the books on the shelves, but I want to play with them,

Ok I put them on the shelves

@seeuudee you have to give this is own post, it’s absolutely incredible. The detail is mind blowing. And I love it so so so so so much!!!

Thank you xxx

[seeuudee (Gini 🇬🇧)]

I wasn’t sure if you would be opening this today or tomorrow, but have been eagerly awaiting day 12 to arrive. I had SO MUCH FUN with this item and I had to force myself to stop adding new bits. Will definitely sort a post for it later

[Abbeeroad (Abbie - she/her)]

Oh my gosh!! AMAZING!!! All that tiny detail! Totally blown away.

It absolutely needs its own post @seeuudee!!

[photojenn (Jenn)]

WOW! That is amazing!!
