Christmas Knits for your sylvanians and Beechwood Hall Celebration

Forenote: please look at my collaborations page ^ to collaborate. 

Hello everyone! As you know, every year I do a Christmas display of all my figures partying at beechwood hall with the Hamilton family. I have set it up now and thought I would give you a tour, but first  As you may remeber, two sylvanian posts ago, i was on about things I have created for my sylvanians. This post is similar with new entries as I love knitting things for my figures!

Matilda Billabong is wearing a winter frock.

Elma mulberry rid of his tux and tried on his Christmas jumper, brown trousers and brown shoes (shoes from the shoe shop set) 

And Hermoine Billabong and Walnut Mulberry are wearing their Christmas jumper and dress.

And finally, Father Christmas has payed us a visit! I knitted / sewed everything he is wearing. The beard, the hat, the coat, the shoes and the trousers.

The coat even has a black belt.

It was the 15th of December, and the whole of cornwood was giddy with joy- as it was the first day of the 10 day celebration leading up to Christmas. this was named the Hamilton Christmas Extravaganza. Every year, beechwood hall held a 10 day long party which ended with the nativity play in the town square on Christmas Eve night. Then, all sylvanians would hang up their stockings by the fireplace or a pillowcase on bedroom doors before tucking their children in and going to bed and waiting for Father Christmas to come.

So, as you can image, beechwood hall this morning was extremely chaotic. Ham had been dusting the  mantelpieces and baking goodies while Masie tried on all her dresses. the children were out , as Masie sent them off to the Mulberry's to cause havoc somewhere else. Emily slept through the sound of the vacuum cleaner roaring downstairs, and the sound of Masie's panicked tone. 

The Christmas tree is decorated with gold pipe cleaner and little bells- along with a hanging angel!!

It also emits a red glow. 

The whole ideal is beautiful, don't you think? I donned beechwood hall with tinsel, hangings, and a Christmas tree.

The first guest to arrive was the Dante's, as the mayor wanted to assist as much as he could. Zoe set up her Christmas cake entry on the table, while Troy rehearsed his opening speech while moving the chairs around. this year, the event was held to the Adoption Charity, as most of Cornwood's children were adopted: the piglets , Joby, and Owen. 

As all the guests flooded in, the Christmas hamper loot grew bigger. May mulberry had bought champagne and her famous Mulled Berry Wine. Kate Periwinkle got out her dotted cupcakes from the cupboard which she dropped off the day before. the Waddlingtons brought their best mince pies, all dotted with the Sylvania crest. the Fresians brought activites for the village to enjoy such as twister, monopoly, and some Christmas DVDs. the seadogs brought the most with Zafrina and goaty potter. A whole trolley filled with goodies from the shop such as biscuits and bubbly. 

Now, the event was in full swing. 

The grotto , as you can see, attracts a lot of attention as Father Christmas asks each child "what would you like for Christmas? " 

I hope you like beechwood hall decorated. I thought the tinsel was a beautiful touch. Now , we just have to wait and see what events unfold. 

Lots of love, Emily xxxxx

AND MERRY CHRISTMAS

Exciting news

It was late in the afternoon, and Kate Periwinkle was baking some cupcakes for the hamiltons Christmas Extravaganza a Beechwood hall. this is held every year for the adoption fund- and a Cornwood is a heavy supporter , with most of their children being adopted from it.

"These cakes are to go into the best baked good competition- and they best win." Kate announced, proudly.

"Hello mother, Peter and I are back from school." Cherry waved as she climbed up the caravan steps.

"Mother, we are only getting bigger and this caravan is only getting smaller!" Peter panted, as he struggled up the steps.

"No,that is just you eating my treats." Kate giggled. "Tell you what though, I am rather hungry recently. Children, can you go to your father at the vegetable patch and tell him to bring me back the parsley plant? I am craving parsley buns." 

"Only if we can go to my tree," Cherry ran out with her basket, throwing her yellow coat over her back. "I want to make some Cherry bake wells."

"I'll come too then, Cherry won't get mucky but I wouldn't mind." 

"Peter, you dare not get your breeches dirty. I only just washed them last night. " Kate warned.

 They had all gone, and it was just kate and nora.

 Kate huffed. "I think I should take a break- I feel a bit ill."

"Are you okay mummy?" Nora asked. She had just woken up from her nap and was dazed. 

"Yes. I am okay. Would you like to go on a walk with me, get some fresh air? Yes. I think I need some fresh air."

"Yes mummy, I will go and get my kart." Nora crawled outside to find her clacker kart to ride on and hopefully get pushed.

They headed out with a hamper of cakes in a basket - they were going to the Hamiltons to drop off the goods and some other bits and bobs in time for tomorrow. 

Notice my fake snow scene. The snow dried up and won't absorb any water so now I am truly stuffed. 

"Hello Kate! " Masie welcomed. "My dear, you best come in, it's getting colder by the day now." 

It was just Nora, Masie, Emily and Kate in the house. Peppa and Spice were at the town square. Ham had gone up to Nutwood for the day. 

Nora and Emily were preoccupied with some toys on the dining room floor while Masie and Kate were talking over tea and scones. ( Sylvanian scones have cream on the bottom and Jam on the top)

"I have been feeling really strange recently. " Kate remarked.

"Well, what are your symptoms?" Masie asked, concerned. 

 " I am hungry all the time, and my stomach is causing a ruckus. I feel sick most days, especially mornings."

As soon as Kate had said her symptoms out loud, she realised what may be the cause. 

"Well , Kate... I think I know what this may be." Masie giggled. "Oh! How exciting." 

"Let's not get ahead ... "

"Not sure? Go to Robert Fresian. He's a retired doctor. He may be a tad grumpy you disturbed him on a Thursday evening but this is a serious matter." 

"Your right. do you mind taking care of Nora for a bit? I will come and collect her later. " 

"Of course. Go!" 

Kate hurried out the house and down to the Fresian Grandparents house.

She took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

Lillian opened the door. "Hello Kate.. How may I help?" 

"Is Robert here? This is an emergency. I need a diagnosis." 

"Well yes, but for goodness gracious, come in ! You'll catch your death my dear." Lillian out her arm around Kate. 

"Who is it? " Robert snapped. 

"Hello, Mr. Fresian. I am sorry to disturb you, but i am in desperate need of a diagnosis. "

"Well, sorry to snap. What are your symptoms?" 

Kate recalled them.

"Well, my dear. Lillian, call Mr. billabong. We need to visit Nutwood." 

"Oh do we? That will take an awful while. " Kate said in disparity. 

"I doubt mr. billabong will be to happy about this. Unless it's a complete emergency. " Lillian remarked.

"Well, I think I know what it is but this isn't in my area if medical expertise. Lillian, sit down with her. You were a nurse." Robert sat up and took Joby out of Lillian's arms. 

Lillian put her hand on Kate's knee. 

That night, the whole of the Periwinkle family were dining .

"I went out to the Fresian grandparents after you left, today. " Kate said to William. " I wanted to enquire to them about my excessive hunger and illness."

"And?" Rebecca asked.

"Yes mother, what could it be?" Peter leaned in, as did the rest of the family.

"Well, you see, I am expecting"

Lots of love, Emily . Xxxxx
