Homemade Christmas - Cookies

I gave these cookies away as presents as part of my attempt at only giving handmade gifts this year. I intended to pipe the red lines, but I have to admit my piping sucks and after a few failed attempts I admitted defeat. Now a paint brush I can handle, so these have been hand painted with red colouring, dusted with shimmer powder, appropriately titled snowflake, and sprinkled with edible glitter!!!

These ones I made as a quickie to use up some spare icing. I gave them to my little man as a stocking filler, who assured me they were yummy! I only wish he was always this easy to please. lol.

Homemade Christmas - Wreaths

One day I might get to show you all my Christmas makings before the new year instead of in it, but hey ho what can I say?These past few months have been so busy for me and I feel like Christmas just jump up and bit me on the ass! I was planning on having any Christmas stuff made before the end of October but due to an unexpected turn of events I hadn't even started anything in October!!
But I had vowed when I was making Halloween Stuff that I would make one of these wreaths for Christmas. I made this white one to hang on my dining room door, I had a vision in my head of how I wanted it and I am very pleased with the finished result,  (I have to aplologise for the crappy picture quality in this one but I forgot to take a proper pic before I put it away and this is a quickie taken with my phone) soo that was where I intended to move on to other projects. However my mom had other plans.......

As soon as I showed it to her she wanted one too !! So I postponed my projects and set to work. To be honest I was kinda glad as I love making these. Mom asked for one the same but with green wool and I have to admit that I think I like this one slightly more. What can you say, Mom knows best. lol
