If It Makes You Happy

I am loving my Monday bible study group at the moment... not only are we doing a 4-week study on Advent, but we are spending an hour crafting afterwards.  Which might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I do totally love doing it - so long, I have discovered, as someone else provides both the inspiration and the material!  This is the favourite thing I've made so far...

It's actually a wreath for a door, but I'm
not altogether convinced my twining will
hold up to actual weather!

 So much so that I even made another today:

Not that I really had time to make it, I was just wasting the couple of hours that my gingerbread dough was cooling in the fridge and putting off the things that I really should and needed to do in that time.  Turns out cooling gingerbread dough in the fridge, despite all the online advice, was rubbish.  I ended up heating it back up in the microwave to actually make the dough roll-able.  Turns out I maybe also shouldn't have used that runny US icing I found in the back of my cupboard - the gingerbread men now look like they've been playing with their mother's lipstick!

Though I'm sure the toddlers that are eating them tomorrow at Mainly Music are not gonna care.
