Christmas is coming.......

Yes indeedy its just around the corner and I have busy sewing costumes for the group of girls who will be dancing at the Coca-Cola Christmas in the Park, which is a big variety show that is performed live and televised here in NZ.  My kitchen has been full of tuelle and satin all weekend.  In between times I have been making little christmas boxes to fill will chocolates for gifts.  I try and make some handmade gifts each year and this year I have dedided on these little milk carton boxes decorated and then I will go to the bulk bins and buy wrapped chocolates to pop inside.  These are the first 2 made and I am hoping to get at least another 8 made but then I also need more Christmas cards.....hmmmm how much time do I have..........

These stand about 51/2 inches high so aren't overly big - otherwise they cost too much to fill.  So these are being displayed in Sassy Cheryls "Anything Goes" challenge this week.
