It was the same in my house growing up!

Oh yes, Santa would have his own wrapping paper for sure

Trying to decide if wrapped is better. Or does it depend on the gift maybe?

Love that! Keep it simple

I get that! We mostly use gift bags and reuse them til they wear out. I don't think Santa does many gift bags tho 😅

Yeah mine from Santa were always left unwrapped so I got the 'wow' straight away!

It's our first time hosting. We've never even cooked a Sunday roast before! So a practice run was needed

We also now have a mountain of turkey left over if anyone wants some 😂

It almost happened to Mountmellick Embroidery- if it weren't for Sister Teresa Margaret McCarthy

You can find out more about the Irish embroidery technique at their wonderful little museum in Laois

I do indeed!

That R.S.G. comes in handy when you're looking for something new to learn

Gorgeous 😍 no better feeling than finally getting the hang of a new stitch and sitting back to look at it

Thank you so much! Glad to know I've inspired 🥰

The ideal artistic life for me would be just making stuff and no one even knows my name or what I look like and I'm not remotely famous and still can make a living. But that doesn't exist anymore. You have to relentlessly remind people you're a real human being who deserves to be paid for their work

I make hand embroidery kits so you can learn to stitch at home
