Santa's Key

Hello everyone!

Hope you've all survived the atrocious weather that we had last night. The rain poured through our solid wood front door. Not sure where it was all coming from as we couldn't find any cracks, etc., that it could leak through but all night we were putting down towels to mop up the pools of water that kept gathering. Other than that, we're all safe, just have to give the battered wreath, that was in pride of place on the door, a little makeover!!

Some of you might have seen that Kuretake are holding an advent countdown over on their blog and every day, there has been a fab tutorial from one of the DT and today, it's my turn. Here's what I made, using lots of Kuretake products, together with some Basically Bare items. If you click HERE, then you can see full details of how I made it and what I used!!

I hope you enjoyed this little creation...I thought it was a little bit of fun and if you haven't got a chimney, then Santa needs some way of delivering those presents!! lol.

Before I go, in my last post, I mentioned that I had the BEST recipe for Cranberry Sauce and there were some requests for the recipe...so, especially for you ~ here it is!! If you do make it, I'd love to know what you think of it...you will have to drop me a line to let me know!! :)

Spiced Cranberry Sauce with Port and Orange

350g fresh cranberries

225g sugar

150ml orange juice

finely grated rind of 1 orange

75ml water

45ml port

1 cinnamon stick

Serves 6-8

Place all the ingredients in a pan over moderate heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove the cinnamon stick and serve.

Can be served hot or made in advance and served chilled.

Well, time for me to get back to work...I think I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel ~ JUST!
haha!!

Thanks for popping in to see what I've been making and taking the time to leave a comment!
Bye for now!
Love Emma
