Memories of last Christmas

Happy new year and a merry Christmas it was, as it just slipped by barely a month ago. Christmas is always a time to share and show more love bearing in mind the reason for the season which is God's love to us through Jesus.
I've grown up with always having Christmas decor around the house- the lights, Santa's image in different forms, cards, balls and bows hanging on the Christmas tree...oh yes the tree- there are always two packages placed on its branches, one each from mummy and daddy, waiting to be opened only on boxing day, but has reduced to one ever since daddy moved to heaven...*silence*
But then Christmas is never complete without a new dress...'christmas dress', lol! and its got to have a touch of one or all of the colours of Christmas- red, green, gold. so I thought...I'm gonna make me a jacket...a lace jacket...a green lace jacket! I've owned dresses and tops made of lace, even shoes, bags and other accessories but not a jacket.
So I bought the fabric, got to work, finished ,embellished it with a red bow I picked up from an accessory store. So here's me looking 'christamasy'...
PS. everybody loves the green jacket!


...And here's me just chilling on a Christmas afternoon
