Decorating the Christmas Tree
After finding the perfect tree, the family is decorating it with colourful baubles. Little Charile has gotten himself into quite a tangle!

December 2016
The first of December today and time to open the first advent calendar door! I love this picture as it is very christmassy and I just love christmas. Recently I have been crocheting winter jumpers for two of my critters and I must say I am very happy with the result. I am very proud of my pink one which I made for Willow Cottontail, so adorable! Since it is Christmas soon, I have decided to do a Christmas Advent calendar thing with like a photo every day. Now, I did attempt this two years ago but I did not post everyday and it all was just too much commitment. Well, this year I have been oraganized and have started taking photos before the first of December. I have now got the first three days sorted and the other pictures I can take today or so since the lighting was getting bad yesterday. I just hope I will be able to do this and you will like my posts, whether you celebrate Christmas or not! I will post my advent calendar post soon!

Hello Everyone! Now I just want to share with you this picture of my Sylvanians around the first candle like I said I would in my post earlier today (Christmas wreath tutorial). I really want to just take good pictures for my blog in December and soon I will explain what I mean by this (1st December)

Christmas Wreath Tutorial
For this tutorial you will need:
-Water
-Two squares of toilet paper
-Green paper
-PVA glue
-Yarn
-Things to decorate the wreath with.
Firstly you want to fold you toilet paper so that you have one ontop of the other.
After this, hold the toilet paper under a running tap until you can see your fingers underneath.
Now squezze the water out.
Connect and overlapp the ends, makeing a circle.
Wind the string around the place where you overlapped the ends and let it dry.
While the toilet paper circle is drying, cut a piece of green paper which is around 1.5cm high and quite long.
Cut into it around 3/4 of the way and then cut your long strip in around 10-17cm long pieces.
Spread a little glue on the 1/4 where the paper has not been cut.
Now twist this paper and glue around your DRY toilet paper circle.
Just decorate it and your done!
Hello everyone! I am very happy with my door wreath and this will be going up on the Cottontails front door! I have also made another wreath called and Advent Kranz and it is also a wreath and has red candles on top. One candle gets lit every Sunday before Christmas (The 24th) and on the 24th a white candle in the center will also be lit. It is a German sort of tradition. I will post another post later on with a picture of the Brambles around my actual Advent Kranz!
