Staggeringly Beautiful

Should I apologise for that title, oops, I couldn't resist it!

I am very excited about this though


I do rather like stag heads, and had my beady eye on a lovely wooden one for the conservatory last year, but was unfortunately vetoed by my hubby as he really doesn't like them.

Then he saw this little one, actually a Christmas decoration, and swooped it up for me. I love it and he sits proudly above my door so every time I lift my head up I see him and smile, even Andy is growing to like him!



I've been busy crocheting a new wreath for Christmas. A nice simple one with just a bit of Christmas ribbon.



I should be making more for Christmas, I'm starting to feel a bit overwhelmed by how many things I should be doing. I have started a hat, but I'm not sure yet if I'm going to like it, have to see how it goes.




I did have a moment of extravagance the other day... it was a special offer, end of line. There wasn't much left and it looked a bit lonely, so home with me it came.




Not sure yet what it's purpose will be


Something warm and cosy.

Take care

    Your stag looks great Cheryl, I wonder if you can get away with leaving him up all year round! My giveaway prize arrived today, thank you! I will show pics on my blog tomorrow. xx

    Hello Cheryl
    Many thanks for your comments on my last post. :-) I do that....buy yarn and I don't what it's for but cannot resist an offer....it always gets used though.
    Now if you had said to me I have a stag's head above my door I might just raise my eyebrows a little .....I'm not keen on animal heads at all but on seeing it I'd say that is so different and really stands out! I very much like the wreath....not too ornate...nice! Did you use a pattern?

    keep well

    Amanda :-)

    I think I prefer your lovely stags head to a wooden one. I havent done anything for christmas yet either, to be honest I havent really thought much about it. It will be here before we know it though.

    A great title, deer. Groan! I think your stags head is much nicer than a wooden one, and I'm loving the wreath, sometimes less is more.

    I really like your 'understated' wreath Cheryl - very sweet, and that new yarn is very interesting with all its beautiful colours - the stag's head? I'm not sure on that one, but I do like your post title! I hope your weekend is going well. Hugs, Joy x

    Hi Cheryl. Before I comment I just wanted to check you got my email?? I have a complete love for stag heads and I managed to get one quite a few years back, and now I would LOVE another. I love your pretty white one and I'm sure it is making you smile, I know it would me. I'm sharing the overwhelmed feeling for Christmas makes with you as really I haven't started as I'm so focused in this village gifts night in three weeks. I suspect December is going to be busy. Loving the look if all that yarn!!! Xoxoxo

    Hi Cheryl, your christmas wreath is so pretty. What yarn did you use? It looks a little bit metallic, I really like it! Lovely yarn too....I'm always buying yarn with no idea as to what I'll use it for :) xoxox

    I love the Stags head. I've seen them made out of paper mâché and wonder if they couldn't be painted to look like that! I just made a hat for my Mom that I didn't like until I finished it. Then I liked it a lot. So hang in there.
