A Country Christmas with Mr Nylon!

Mr Bri Nylon, his wife Silky and their children, Molly, James and baby Peach
would like to wish you all a
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!



Mrs Nylon and the children have been busy getting the house ready for Christmas...looks like they might have done a bit of shopping at the barn, lol!



Snowglobe and wreath (below) were made by Susanna.


Food made by Debbie and Sabiha.

Angel from Sylvia.


Boxed decorations from Susanna.


And here is Mrs Nylon today trying desperately to get her Christmas baking done.
But her unruly children are making it almost impossible!

'Where is Bri when you need him', she thinks.


After days of rain Bri is making the most of a little morning sunshine on the front porch. He's looking very calm and relaxed...until he discovers there's a plant gowing in his coffee cup!
(He's the sort of man who prefers a good cup of coffee instead of an artfully arranged Christmas display)
Mr Nylon thinks it's time he got away from all this Christmas chaos.






Bri decides to take a stroll down the street...
And what has he found?
A charming little cottage and it doesn't even look too Christmassy from out here.

Feeling a little like Goldilocks Mr Nylon tries the door handle...

To be continued...

More from the Advent calendar...

December seems to be flying by so quickly!
But the highlight of every morning is opening Sabiha's Advent calendar.
Here are some more of the fabulous surprises!





This lot are in no particular order...it's pretty chaotic here these days!










So many fabuous tiny things and I love them all.
The fun part is finding homes for everything!
You can see the minis I made for Sabiha on her blog and together (even though we live a world apart, lol!) we made an Advent calendar as a surprise for Sylvia.

Sabiha sent me this most spectacular Advent calendar.
It's so exciting to open a little bag every morning.

Here are all the goodies from just the first five days!

The prettiest Christmas decorations.

Gorgeous plants and plant holders.

Awesome magazine boxes, magazines and wrapping paper.

Fabulous boxes and a spectacular Dudok apple pie.

Beautiful tray with bottles and ...

the world's tiniest lipstick!

Sabiha you are a wonderful friend, thank you!

A little Christmas in the barn!

Many of you have been very patiently waiting to find out what was going in the barn.
The barn is going to be a shop!
A shop that sells vintage goods.
It's nowhere near filled up or finished but I just couldn't resist adding a little Christmas!








Birdhouse from Katie.
Rusty wreath from Susanne.




Vintage bauble wreath - fun but fiddly!
Somehow I always manage to send the beads flying everywhere whenever I make one!

Plenty more decorating to do!
Loads more things to make!
Lots more fun to have!

Merry December!
