The Christmas factory

About this time of year, the house is a bit upside down.

Christmas is very important to us and I like to do it properly - an inheritance from my mum.

As usual, I have champagne taste but a fish and chip budget so everything has to be carefully planned.

A few years ago, we started making a few homemade foodie items for presents for people and this has grown a bit.

According to 'The List 2013', my Christmas spreadsheet, we need to make 254 items this year.

We're half way through.

One of tonight's jobs is getting the labels printed for the bags, bottles and jars. These design was done for us by our fab friend @artminx last year.

Next task is cutting out circles of fabric.

Love this time of year x
