One week until we fly to France.
One last bunch of Christmas gifts to wrap.
Remember these little babies?
I made a heap of chocolates at the time, knowing full well Mr Frog would change his mind about not giving gifts to the teachers in his office at the last minute.
As it turns out, the teachers in Mr Frogs office, teach Japanese. So, having also studied Japanese at school (for six years!) I was a little inspired.
Today we practice the Japanese art of Furoshiki.
First, pop your choccies in a little plastic bag and seal.
Next, cut a rough square out of your chosen fabric. Mine are about 15x15cm, but it'll depend on the size of your pressie. Place the packet on top of the wrong side of fabric. I put it at the opposite angle so I didn't need to use too much fabric, and so it would look a bit neater.
Take two opposite corners and tie a knot.
Then take the remaining corners and tie another knot. If you have enough fabric, tie another knot to secure. I was being frugal.
Voila! Or should I say dozo.
I had exactly four plain chocolates left, so I made this up, just because.
A bit of Kikki K twine, some Washi Tape (did you know it's Japanese?) from Kaisercraft, and that is a very cute little parcel.
That's it from me for the year. I mean it this time.
I hope the holiday period is just fabulous,
Merry and Bright,
and keeping praying my Christmas is WHITE!
