Christmas crafting countdown

It's the 22nd November....already! How does that happen. I planned to be the Mrs Beeton type and have Christmas gifts all sealed up in their kilner jars by now but I still haven't so much as managed to get the sloes in the gin! I added a little festive scene to my blog because , well it makes me smile and maybe it will make me think, stop typing, go to the kitchen and make! In all fareness it has been an eventful Autumn and I'm still slowly unpacking. But I'll leave the rest until after Christmas now and being ticking off my list of gifts (much more satisfying and fun) So here is the list to keep me going:

Yummy things:
sloe gin
snowflake biscuits
brownies
fudge
marshmallow
15's

Smelly things:
bath bombs
scented candles
goats milk soap
salt/sugar scrub

Crafty things:
finger puppets
juggling toys
door stop
knitted mobile cover
baby socks
cross-stitch horse pic - almost finished!
cards

Decorations:
popcorn garland
dried fruit
felted tree decorations
felted reindeer
tree top angel
birdseed pinecones

And there is the season swap to add! Phew, that should mean every night is a crafting night! Am I being realistic. it's my first attempt at a homemade Christmas of this scale! Usually it's a few peppermint creams and a lot of shop bought panic! Wish me luck....

33 crafting evenings to go!
