I have two personalities. For most of the year, I live my life as an elder emo. My wardrobe is almost exclusively black, I listen to the same songs I’ve been listening to since I was an angsty teenager and I still proudly rock the side fringe.
But the moment I open my eyes on November 1st, my second personality emerges! Because I am a life-long Christmas Obsessive! Suddenly my wardrobe is all kitchy Christmas T-shirts with kittens in Santa hats, I have to wear oversized red bows in my hair and the whole house is subjected to my carefully curated Christmas playlist on repeat!
And when I’m excited, I make! The past years have seen me make DIY Christmas Crackers, t-shirts, personalised gifts, ornaments, bunting and my own stamped wrapping paper just to name a few.
But this year is extra special because for the first time, my Mum has passed the torch and I AM HOSTING! I’ve decided on a Christmas Bakery theme in pinks, greens and reds. I am absolutely bursting with ideas on what I want to make so from now until the end of my very favourite season, I’m going to be sharing all the things I’m making.
I’m already months behind where I should have been so let the chaos crafting begin!
