Please come show off your poncetastically homemade Christmas gifts and decorations. And/or your child's Xmas crafty efforts

Hello.

Have you been doing any poncetastic prep for Christmas?

Do please post up some pics of your homemade decorations and/or homemade gifts for us all to gawp at.

Or, if your child has brought home (or made at home) any brilliant/endearingly wonky Xmas crafts, do take a snap and post them up too.

Oh I've got one.

The family of elves that live on our porch.

[AhCmonSeriouslyNow]

Aw, this thread died somewhat. Anyone got anything else to show?

Here's my pick from my 6 days of Christmas crafts so far...even if they look a bit more like starfish than snowflakes

Yay for Christmas poncing! Totally new to this, in a way, but kind of not. I guess I was an undiscovered poncer. I've been poncing away on Pinterest without even knowing I was doing it.

handknit gloves and scarf for my sister. Funny i've never seen her wear them.

Bejaypers, I am feeling incredibly disorganised right now. I am tempted to send a photo of my liquor cabinet. It's all I have that is remotely Christmassey but none of it is home brewed.

I'm no crafter - these are from a kit bought for DD last Christmas. We sat together last weekend and started these. Needless to say, DD lost interest shortly after starting so I finished them. We like them!

[Snog]

Love that elf!!

[SpecialCircumstances]

Christmas Elf- very please with him! He'll be keeping an eye on my DS (age 7 months, never to early to start the Father Christmas bribery!)

[vamosbebe]

would like to share mine - how do I post a picture??

[HalloweenNameChange]

need to take the tin foil out

[HalloweenNameChange]

Think you're a bit premature to be poncing Xmas just yet.


For the American mumsnetters, a bit of poncetasic Thanksgiving... Bread cornucopia

[Alicadabra]

Wow, you lot are all so talented! The cakes! The bags! The advent stockings! I'm in awe

[bigTillyMint]

Oh no! Not TWC again

Am loving all the Christmas goodies though!

[AhCmonSeriouslyNow]

Oh my, not Terry's crotch!

Very impressed by Scuttlebug's bag.
I have done handmade gifts in the past. I wish I had photos of the crushed velvet retro ties I did for my brothers one year when I was about 17...they were quite something!

I want to use a different theme in wrapping for each family member. I love this one.

[Xroads]

Thanks I'll try my pic again and give the vodka a go too

[GlaikitFizzog]

Ahardyfool I only started knitting in February! An old dog can be taught new tricks!

[GlaikitFizzog]

Photo was easy ,just uploaded from my photo stream.

Vodka whack a load of sweets in vodka, put bottles In dishwasher on high setting. Leave to dissolve shaking it every day.

[Ahardyfool]

I have some bottles ready for the vodka ;)

I did make monogrammed santa sacks a couple of years ago. I'd just had DD that summer and had gone all homey homespun. However, I think the whole world has now we are all poverty stricken and in recession. I'm not sure what to make of it.

I did briefly consider housing a Turkey in the garden for xmas 2013, and growing all my own veg for xmas dinner but that was in a REALLY carried away moment.

I wish I could knit and do sewy things. Very well done everyone :)

[Xroads]

both

[GlaikitFizzog]

The photo or the vodka?

[Xroads]

How did you make yours work?

[GlaikitFizzog]

Yay it worked!
