It's Starting to Look A Lot Like Christmas.....

Tree is up, mantle is decorated (first working fireplace I've had since I was eleven - Yay!!), plans for treats to make are set and prezzies are in the works.  This also means I am stitching up a storm.  In the past I've stuck pretty closely to red and white ornaments with the odd scotty ( template courtesy of  Allsorts ) thrown in.

This year I've decided I need to branch out a little bit.  I think these stars need to be stitched to a ribbon to make a garland.  Just what a plain white mantle needs.
