Here we are on the last show and tell before the big day. My desk is full of Christmas wrapping this week and I can't share that so I thought I'd show you the mince pies and little buns I've been making on the other 'desk' in my life and the row of little stockings I've finished knitting and strung up across our fire place.....a well used fireplace this week because our heating boiler broke down last Friday and although we have insurance that says they should come and fix it within 24 hours it took them until yesterday before we had hot radiators and hot water!!!
Please help yourselves....I even made the chocolate gingerbread men myself :-)
And that just leaves me to wish each and every one of you a very Happy Christmas. Thank you for calling in here each week and leaving me such lovely comments.....lets hope 2018 comes with many more wonderful weeks of sharing and caring.
Hugs,
Annie x
Love your Christmas stockings! Hope you have a fabulous Happy Christmas and New Year. Helen #1
ReplyDeleteWhy do boilers always break down when it's coldest?? The same thing happened to us a few years back and that's when we got the woodburner! I'm glad you're warm now. Lovely looking cakes and treats there, you can't go wrong with a proper butterfly fairy cake (none of this blooming Cupcake rubbish!!)
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful Christmas with all your lovely family. Thanks for all your fab comments this year - let's hope 2018 is just as good!
Hugs LLJ 6 xxxx
That's the kind of fattening food I like - one I can't actually it because it's virtual!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely Christmas Annie!

Hi Annie,cakes look delicious, and love the choccy gingerbread men! I just lose track of the days, not being at work myself, I have to sort of follow what Doug is doing, so if he's at home it feels like a weekend, lol.Have a lovely Christmas, Love & Hugs, Shaz #5 XxX
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Annie, glad you have hot water and radiators again. It's not the time of year to be without. Love the Christmas stockings on the fireplace. Sarah #9
ReplyDeleteYour baking looks so good. I was surprised at the last post, of all the snow ! It's totally missed us so far, ok with me as I too do not go out in it as freely as I do in drier conditions. Wishing You and Yours a Very Merry Christmas
ReplyDeleteAwww. I wish I could taste those yummies!

Hi Annie, I'd scoff those gingerbread men in an instant if I could - they look yummy. Bet the little elves thought so too. The tiny stocking are adorable and such a good idea of have them strung up like that. Glad to hear you are all toasty warm again, and that you now have hot water. Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas filled with loads of fun and laughter. Hugs, Ellie x #17
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas and New Year to you and all your family, Annie. Hooe you have a good rest after all your hard work sewing this year. Catriona
ReplyDeleteHi Annie. Please may I have one of the gingerbread men cakes? Can't eat the others 'cos they have fruit...:-( Your desks look great - love the row of stockings! Glad your boiler is now sorted and pumping out the heat as it should! Have a lovely Christmas season.
ReplyDeleteTake care. God bless.

Hi Annie, glad you got your boiler sorted! Worst time of the year to not have heating! I'm impressed with the chocolate gingerbread men, and the knitted stockings! Very talented lady. Have a wonderful Christmas, Heather #32
ReplyDeleteAh Annie, get you even making chocolate embellishments. They are a perfect ‘pop in the mouth’ size too....I hope you made loas and loads! Sorry about the boiler...doesn’t the house get cold so quickly. Misery, very glad that you’re back in the rosy warm and pink now. It’s been a good blog year, huh.....and a wonderful weekend in LLandudno was icing, how much giggling!! Love to you both, Happy Christmas!
ReplyDeleteHi Annie, I hope you contact the company who sold you the insurance as you should get a refund of all payments made as the contract was not fit for purpose. I love the look of your baking, quite scrummy. I am sending you big Christmas hugs. Thanks for the visit to mine and have a good woyww too, Angela x8x
ReplyDeleteJust love your little stockings and your little gingerbread men. The confectionery looks wonderful - mmm tastes good too.

Love, Neet xx

Seeing those food goodies now I realise why it doesn't feel like Christmas to me I have done no baking this year, so can I have a mince pie or two please.
