Bah Humbug!

I am just so not into the swing of christmas this year, I swear that for all my efforts I haven't a drop of christmas spirit. It's not helped by my dislike of the crowds and manicness that takes over the shops. Still you are not here to hear me gripe so I'll leave that for another day and move swiftly on to my desk.

It's covered in works in prgress at the moment. I painted the snowflakes blue at 1am yesterday morning when I was unable to sleep, I am going to do something with them although in the cold light of day I'm not sure just how I am going to make them do what I want them to do.
There are more snowflakes in the basket, cut from glitter card this time. I've been stringing these for some time now and have them hanging around my craft room. Some of those that I have left are going to be stuck onto the ribbon covered ring you can just glimpse on the left of the photo.
Oh and just in case anyone spots the plasters on the corner of the desk, I have not been injured crafting, I did however catch my hand on a doorframe and had to patch myself up. Also the black thing in the background obscuring my badge covered cushion is a jacket of OH's, he's broken the zip and since the lady who replaced the last one is no longer in business I've got to find someone to do it (he breaks a lot of zips on jackets).

I'll finish with another shot of the desk this time showing some of the hanging snowflakes and my little craft room christmas tree.
And if I get around to decorating it I may even have some photos of a dolls house christmas next week.

I love the snowflakes. I wanted to do that and don't have time to get around to it now. Maybe if I start in January? ha ha

I agree that in the shops it just seems to be people shoving and pushing, hopefully the christmas spirit will appear next week. At least there is an alternative nowadays with all the on-line shops.
Can't wait to see the dolls house decorated for Christmas.

Nice looking snowflakes. I'm with you, avoiding the crowds and shops is the only way to guard one's sanity.
Can't wait to see what you do with the doll house;)

The snowflakes look lovely! I'm not feeling at all festive either, but trust me, it will sneak up on you!
Are you anywhere near Wipso? She'll have that zip sorted in a jiffy!

I know exactly what you mean by lack of Christmas spirit. I swear mine and yours are on the same level. But those snowflakes are very festive. And that desk looks very active. So I'm hoping you get the spirit soon and you'll be able to pass it on to me (#4).

Thanks for sharing, especially the dollhouse. It reminded me of going downtown at Christmas to see Colleen Moore's dollhouse at one of the department stores displays. It was displayed in the toy department and was VERY large and had electric lights. It was fantastic. She did about 11 dollhouses and a castle during her lifetime. The house I always saw and her castle are still on display at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry, I think.
