At Pixie Creations we love making all sorts of things for the festive season. Over the years all sorts of decorations and festive items have been created to make our Christmas unique and individual.
Every year we have a real Christmas tree which is decorated with all sorts of mis-matched decorations, each one with a special tale to tell; whether it be old baubles that used to belong to grandparents, unique items made by both children and adults or special decorations that were given either as a memento of a special place or person.
At the top of the tree sits a “Rosebud” Doll who’s original clothing is but a distant memory. She has been re-dressed in net and lace to make her sparkle as every Christmas Fairy should!
Some of the newer additions to the tree decorations added in more recent years include crochet snowflakes (which were also made as gifts enclosed in last year’s card) and stuffed robins.
During Advent we light advent candles to count down the days to Christmas. These are simply made using tea light candles which are then labeled up with the days in December. A new candle is added for each day whilst the ones that have finished are re-used as firelighters to keep us warm!
Nothing beats a more quirky decoration such as these crochet fairy lights. Unfortunately they don’t emit much light…..
A crochet santa hat can have all sorts of uses.
These were initially designed to decorate the top of beer pump handles for a few local pubs in the area.
But have also been used to make Mini-Mes festive too!
Once the festive season is in full swing we use our Twelve Days of Christmas Calendar to mark off the 12 days of celebration.
We shall continue to add to traditions and celelbrations by creating more and more as the years go on!
