About 8 weeks ago I realised Christmas would soon be upon us. A little early I know for the end of September but – I was right wasn’t I – time just flies!

Anyway I was getting excited about the upcoming holiday and decided that there really is no better time to dip your toe in the From Scratch pool than Christmas. With all of the cards, decorations, food and gifts floating about there is so much opportunity to have a go at making a few things for yourself. Whether its the odd mince pie, an extra special Christmas card, or a pair of hand made socks the things that you make at Christmas really make a difference.

Now I know we all lead busy lives and its hard to find a good reason to spend the extra time making mince pies instead of buying. However this year I will give you just one good reason. The things you take the time to make are special purely because you took the time. Slowing down, enjoying the process and sharing the experience of making things is what Christmas is all about.

I am hoping you are inspired now, and ready to jet full steam ahead into a Christmas From Scratch. Over the past 8 weeks I have made you a field guide to creating your perfect Christmas From Scratch. From Baking your cake, to 5 min Christmas cards, Homemade Earmuffs to Tree decorations this Ebook will bring you recipes, instructions and inspiration to craft your own Christmas.

I am just putting the final touches to Christmas From Scratch which will be ready to download for just £2.99 at the end of the week.

I will also be hosting my own Christmas Crafternoon Extravaganza where I will you will get to have a go at decorating some Christmas biscuits, crafting your own bauble and maybe even get time to make some Christmas cards. Join me for  3hrs of crafting fun and some mince pies on Saturday 15th December. Full information coming soon. If this sounds right up your street send me an email to lucy (at) suppersfromscratch.com and I will save you a seat.

I know how exciting! Christmas will soon be here. Check back soon for book updates, Christmas Crafternoon details, videos, recipes and much more.

In the meantime let me know what you are planning to make this Christmas…
