Here's a quick photo of our Christmas tree decorations this year, it's a mixture of cream hand tied bows, flock and ceramic teddy bears, a few tartan drums, vintage decoupage and red balls. I like to have a different look/colour each year, last year we had a burgundy and gold theme.
And look who arrived today, just in time to sit under the tree . . .
. . . my sweet little JUDE! Except he probably won't be called Jude, it's not quite the right name for an elf TAILOR!
Yes, he's going to be quite at home in the Tailor Shop, just you wait and see!
It's becoming even busier here now, so I shan't be around as much as I normally am, not until after the new year.
However, I will attempt to catch up on all your blogs this afternoon.
Have a wonderful time with your respective families, stay safe and try not to eat too much or overdo the alcohol! :)
He's VERY cute! I can't wait until my kids are bigger and we can have spectacular trees - at the minute ours is just cheap unbreakable stuff AND in a cage.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
Thanks Rachael, I think he's going to make a great tailor. Pity he cannot really make clothes though, and I haven't time so I have commissioned some, hopefully they will arrive before I have to start shooting more photos of the shop.
DeleteAny Christmas tree is better than none at all. :)

ReplyDeleteJude (or whatever name you will choose) is so sweet! :)
Thank you Joanna. I rather like MC's suggestion of Buttons for his name, being a tailor I think it suits him.

Merry Christmas, and it's great that Santa got a doll to you in time! :) Your tree is lovely.
ReplyDeleteThanks Barb, I was so pleased he arrived today and cannot wait to put him in his costume. Christmas tree decorating is something I have always enjoyed so I am pleased you think it's lovely, thank you.

Your new doll looks super cute. What about calling him "Buttons"? Or Buttons could be his last name/surname.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Xanadu! Hope you have a wonderful time with your friends and family. Big hugs!
Thank you MC, I love him and I am going with your name suggestion, I think Buttons is a perfect name for a little elf tailor.
DeleteYou too, big hugs,

ReplyDeleteThanks Alasse, he's a cutie and will suit his purpose nicely. I'm looking forward to dressing him and finishing the tailor shop. Ordered some Mulberry paper today to line the walls inside. Oh you too kiddo, will email you after Christmas.
