It’s been a hot minute since I’ve posted on this lovely blog of mine. This Christmas has been a difficult one as the majority of the Ray gals are down with a nasty virus (even the furry canine Ray gal is ill). Abby is the one sole holdout, although she’s been running hot the last day or so, so I would not be surprised if she were not fighting the germs!

Until that time, she’s been crafting and creating a smorgasbord of artwork. I’ve hung our new additions right behind our vintage Christmas tree which I have newly glued ornaments onto and acquired two new stars- a pink and aqua- both of which I adore, but ultimately I settled upon the aqua one.

I had so many plans for this Christmas! Unfortunately, this virus had plans of its own. I have quarantined myself to nearly three whole days in bed. My sole comfort being a festive and throat soothing Cranberry soda and vodka tonic. Good for the throat AND good for the soul. I need ALL the ice!

I have a couple of new crochet patterns that I’m getting ready to share with you in the coming weeks. One of those patterns is a mason jar cozi that I put on my soy candles once they are purchased. They are cute and provide a nice pop of color and lantern type of effect once the candle has burned down a little bit. So, stayed tuned for that! Oh, and my soy candles are selling like hot cakes! …um cake 🤤

December was filled with lovely little planner surprises as well. Check out all these goodies!

Until next time, you adorable little crumpets,

The Colourful Teacup
