Listen carefully. . . . . now can you hear it?
Do you hear the Christmas bells ringing?
Christmas is just 57 days away. . . but for me, Christmas isn’t just a day. . . it’s a season.
The Christmas season has already started for me. I’m preparing for my Christmas market dates and my studio has become a sea of reds and greens, pretty glittery things and some old familiar friends. . . Santa’s in all shapes and sizes, whole herds of reindeers, penguins aplenty and even a few angels, snowmen and gingers thrown into the mix. You can’t help but feel happy when you are surrounded by such merriment.
I have to admit to feeling a little un-nerved though, when I turn around in my chair to find these guys watching me. This Santa stands a little over 120 cm tall. . . I made him for my market stall. If you are coming to the Foreshore Artist market, look out for this guy. . . he’ll be hanging around at the entrance to my marquee.
So who’s your favourite Christmas character?
I asked my Facebook friends this question yesterday and there wasn’t a clear favourite.
Don’t forget. . .
today is the last day of my 20th Anniversary pattern offer. Buy any 3 patterns and choose a 4th pattern for FREE. That makes it the perfect time to buy up on E-patterns. . . even if they are for next year!
Simply Christmas starts next Tuesday. . . make sure you are following so you don’t miss one day of fun.
Hugs ~ Kerryanne

Hope your anniversary celebrations have been wonderful Kerryanne.
I sooooooooooo love your Christmas characters and can’t wait for next Tuesday.
I think Santa is my favourite Christmas character but not just any old Santa…you know when you see the ‘right’ Santa (don’t you find that there are some yucky ones out in the shops)…I love your Santa as he has that perfect ‘look’ about him.

Hi Sweetie!
Your Santa is adorable Kerry – I would be skipping to the Xmas beat every time I saw him if he was keeping me company in my studio! But yes – quite a shock if you forget he’s there!!!! LOVE the photos of your Xmas goodies – I’m getting SO excited!!!! Also – adored the mirror you repurposed (last post) – what a super friend to spot such a find for you!
Chat soon! Vikki xo
