When you realise #Christianity has completely lost the plot... #Christingle
"The horror! The horror!"

Christingle oranges ready to go at St Ann's #choristerlife #choir #churchofirelend #christingle

@Gerrarrdus question from an American confused about #Christingle do you then distribute the flaming stabby oranges as ice picks?

Looking at the weather forecast thinking tomorrow's #Christingle could be anywhere between bright and cold, quaintly Christmassy, dreadfully wet, or #Snowmaggeddon

The electric double bass will get its first public outing at the christingle service, so with a bit of luck people will be too preoccupied with attaching marshmallows to oranges or whatever to notice how badly I'm playing it #christmas #christingle #church #doublebass

Another shaky photo but this time the Christingle is complete.

Time to break out the snowman pattern and finish off the 5th of the present tags available on https://etsy.co.uk/uk/shop/illumaniseEmbroidery

You know what that means?
It means it's almost time to update the shop with new patterns!
(And I have to bully my partner into taking nice photos for the shop 😉)

After a couple of days recovering from a bout of fatigue, I'm back in the sewing chair!

The hands are still a bit shaky so the images are a bit pants but I think they get the point across!

If you're wondering what that second cross stitch is, it's a Christingle, an orange with a lit candle in the top, a ribbon round the middle and 4 toothpicks with sweets on. I found out yesterday that some Christian denominations don't do Christingles like my school's church did.
