Today is Sock Day! Pamper your tootsies with some Today is Sock Day! Pamper your tootsies with some luxurious lotion, your favourite pair of socks.

I'm wearing one of the pairs knitted by my sister @vernellc. I get a new pair every Christmas. 🥰

Show me your socks! !
Since I'm doing Vlogmas I'm recording quite a bit Since I'm doing Vlogmas I'm recording quite a bit of video, so I'll be sharing the occasional clips from all that footage. You can see the full videos on YouTube via the link in my profile.

This one is a quick round-up of Saturday. We strolled the farmer's market, had oysters, I got a cute gnome to guard the Advent Calendars, hung out online in the live, and ended the day with candlelight.

Day 1 - Hygge Self-Care CraftVent : Light It's Chr Day 1 - Hygge Self-Care CraftVent : Light
It's Christmas Lights Day, and our prompt is to light candles, fairy lights, or both. I went for both.

It was an extremely grey day here today, so all the lighting options were very welcome!

I'm also doing Vlogmas on YouTube this year, and using these prompts for my daily vlog. You can watch them via the link in my profile.

We're ready for December 1st! Both my kid and I lo We're ready for December 1st! Both my kid and I looooooove Advent Calendars, and honestly I go a bit overboard, but it's such fun to count down to Christmas Day this way. We each have one that's a passion (yarn for me, Marvel for him), and we will share a tea Advent and a treat Advent. Plus I found one with a daily movie quiz for us to work on as a family.

It's the most wonderful time of the year!!!

This year I am making my cards, and I was inspired This year I am making my cards, and I was inspired by a watercolour class I took a few months ago. I printed Holiday shapes on watercolour paper, then painted the backgrounds, cut the shapes out, then embellished them with paint pens.
I'll share the final steps soon!

Are you sending cards this year?
