Crafty Christmas

As we are now in the first week of December, I finally feel comfortable blogging about Christmas things. It still shocks me at how early Christmas decorations go up in some shops. The long long (long) build up detracts from the excitement of the actual occasion a little for me. And although it was nice hitting the shops last weekend with my mum and sister-in-law, by the end of the day I was starting to get over it.

For those that don't want to do the consumer thing for Christmas this year, there are plenty of ideas at the library to help both the novice and expert craftsperson. Here are a few ideas. Just click on the blue links to take you through to our catalogue for inspiration.

For homemade Christmas decorations and crafts, there are still a wide range of books on our shelves.

There are Christmas decoration books for kids as well (which is probably more my level of expertise).

As well as ornaments, wreaths and decorations for the home (house and garden), there are also gift ideas for those that want to create something with a personal touch. There's still time to do this sort of thing for Christmas, especially as it's looking like a wet weekend.
