Jo asked us to share a picture of something festive that we had made. I haven't actually managed to stitch any new ornaments for this year, so in true Blue Peter fashion, here's one I made earlier:-
I did make this though - a kitschy mid-mod style wreath for the front door:-
Jo also asked us to share how we spend Boxing Day. Apart from eating left-over turkey (and doesn't everyone do that?), we mostly spend Boxing Day playing board games and watching TV, although if the weather is good and the tides are right we sometimes go for a walk on the beach.
David took this picture around Christmastime a couple of years ago. The tide is only this low once or twice a month so you can't always get this far along.

Lovely ornament! Good that you have a beach near you to enjoy.
Sweet ornament and what a fun wreath!
Such a lovely view at Christmas time, lucky you.

I love the simplicity and beauty of your deer stitching, Christina. And what a fun wreath... love the purple and blue, they remind me of hydrangeas :)
Just love the photo your husband too--you live in such a photographic part of the world :)
Thanks for taking part in the Advent Calendar Blog Hop this year. Love the simple ornie and the gorgeous wreath.
The sea is always a good subject for a photo.
What a fantastic wreath haha. And a beautiful shot of the beach. It looks so quiet and pieceful, and remarkably like th beaches in the Pacific northwest.
Pretty ornament Christine and Christmas wreath, I haven´t got around to making one yet this year. Great photo of the beach. Happy Christmas.
You made a beautiful ornament, I love reindeer.
Merry Christmas

Lovely reindeer stitching and Christmas wreath. Christmas on the beach! How nice! Joyeuses fêtes de Noël ! xxx
I love your sweet ornament with the matching greens. And your wreath - Wow!
Your wreath is amazing and I love your ornament.
Such a lovely reindeer ornament.
What a lovely ornament, I like the trim along the bottom! It sounds like your Boxing Day is quiet and relaxing, just the way it should be! Have a Merry Christmas, and make some footprints in the sand for me, won't you? (That beach shot is GORGEOUS!!)
I could have sent you lots of pics of your ornaments, our tree this year only contains handstitched/made ornaments and is at least one third filled with yours! lol xx
I'm popping over on the blog hop. Thanks for sharing your beautiful ornament and your fantastic traditions. Love the beach photo. If I had a place like that to walk I definitely would be.
Lazy days are one of my favourite traditions ever :)
Sorry to be visiting so late, but the Christmas crush was crazy. Love your wreath!
