After my recent craft fairs I was delighted to have sold my entire stock of sock creatures...the eleven remaining monsters will be popping up in Christmas stockings next week!
I'm sure there will be more next year but for now I fancied trying something else so when Gill showed me a photograph of this sock reindeer kit, the gauntlet was thrown...
And Ronnie the Reindeer was born...
He looks disturbingly like someone I know... but I'm not telling...
He's wonderful. I'm amazed at all your energy!

Welcome to the world Ronnie Reindeer! What a handsome fellow you are.( By the way, your tree is gorgeous.)
ReplyDeleteI love Ronnie! Now who do you know who has a red nose and antlers?!!
ReplyDeleteAwe, I love Ronnie, there's just something about his eyes! :)

I love Ronnie - what a character (in the nicest possible way) :-)
ReplyDeleteA very handsome chap!
ReplyDeleteLove him! But Gina, you're in that time warp again - the one where you have twice as many hours in the day than anyone else :)
ReplyDeleteEeeeeeeee, I love Ronnie Ax
ReplyDeleteOh Gina...those stripey reindeer are so jolly! I can imagine how children would love finding one under the Christmas tree. And that brings me to your very pretty Christmas tree, and a childhood memory.
ReplyDeleteIt was always my Dad and I who took care of putting up and decorating the Christmas tree. I was never sure if no one else wanted to be bothered, or whether the other family members just allowed the two of us to have this tradition together.
Nowadays, there's no room for a tree in my apartment, but I do manage to find space for some branches of greenery and holly in a tall glass vase...and hang a few of my vintage bauble on those branches. That's my new tradition!

Ronnie is gorgeous, and I agree with the other comments - you must find twice as many hours in the day as the rest of us! Cheers
ReplyDeleteHe's lovely, but I am hoping that although I inspired you, I am not ACTUALLY the inspiration for his appearance ....
ReplyDeleteGina the Reindeer is so funky - just caught up on all your blogs for the last few days - the tree looks great really pretty. Your Christmas cards will be really appreciated by the recipients - the advent blogs are really good - cheers.
ReplyDeleteOh! I think I'm in love...
ReplyDeleteI am so enjoying your advent calendar!! What a stunner Ronnie is!! x Jo
ReplyDeleteRonnie's even better than the original!
ReplyDeleteJust love him! You have just reminded me that I started a sock monkey 3 years ago out of Father Christmas socks. It won't take long to complete ans will make a great stocking filler. Thank you x
