Every year, mr d and I have a tradition of decorating a gingerbread house at Christmas time. Our little church normally has a gingerbread event every year, but this year they didn't, and I normally buy an extra kit to take home to make with him. We were fortunate then, to have found a little gingerbread 'kit' at Breadd Bakery, who make the most divine biodynamic bread in Hobart. (plus great coffee!).....so this morning while the 2 year old was having her nap, we got busy decorating. I love doing this activity, it's a really nice bonding time, I guess next year, miss b will be keen to participate! and she might not be sleeping so often. That has been a big blessing to me this year, how on earth could I get so much sewing time in during the day!? We made up a funny talking game while we were decorating the house, replacing the first phonogram of every word with a 'bl'....it made for some funny conversation I can tell you!
Gorgeous! I especially love the proud look. I know what you mean about your 2 year old's naps being great sewing time. Mine only slept for about 45 mins today and threw my whole day out.
This is so super adorable...gets me in the spirit just looking at it...Thank you
ReplyDeleteThe stained glass windows are a fab touch! Never thought of doing that, only in biscuits. You both did a great job and I bet it smell wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThe house looks wonderful, have never tried one of these. The windows do look good, the tea light is a great touch!
