Yes, you read that correctly! I bet at least one of you is now sitting there thinking “But it’s September”… and believe me I muttered those exact words at the display of Lebkuchen and other Christmas treats that have somehow snuck their way into the supermarket in the past week. But if you saw the length of my Christmas card list you would understand why I say when it comes to crafting it’s just different, okay? Anyway, I recently received some new wooden buttons I had ordered and I was desperate to try them out!
Of course, I don’t really have to pester my poor readers with thoughts of the festive season when autumn has only just begun, but I haven’t posted for an entire week and I can’t think of anything else to day, so Christmas cards it is. If you don’t like it, you should have looked away by now 😉 For the rest of you, here are some of the fruits of my labours.
As well as being the first day of autumn, apparently in Switzerland today is the day of the apple. I know this because the local supermarket was giving away apples to celebrate. Free fruit? I’ll take it!
Happy first day of autumn, happy apple day and, most importantly, happy Friday everyone! Have a great weekend.

I understand the pain of having to start making your Christmas cards in September, I’m the same, it’s the only way to get them made in time! 🙂
I too am producing Christmas cards – and Thanksgiving cards – at the moment because I try to sell them at the annual church Convention (end of October) to raise money for the charity Phone Credit for Refugees. I’ve made about 20 so far, but am going to work on lots more, as I’ve done a piece of ZIA that I’ve photocopied 40 times to put onto cards. What I must remember is that if the Bishop’s secretary asks me if I can handmake 200 cards for the Bishop to send out my answer this year must be “Sorry, no”. I said Yes last year and then spent every weekend, in November – and several evenings – churning out Christmas cards. It rather sucked the joy out of the creative process – although there were two good things that came out of it: 300€ for the charity, and a lot of rejects that I used for my own Christmas cards that year!!
I remember you making all those cards! I thought you were very brave to take them on.
OMG, you’ve just reminded me to remind my husband… he usually ends up sending cards saying stuff like “Happy 27th December – the 25th is overrated” 😂
HA, that’s actually kind of awesome though.
Oh these are soooooooooooooo cute! I love them, especially the one with the three buttons hanging down as baubles! I understand the need to get on with it! I made birthday cards for June in February!!
cute cards
Thank you.
