What happened to November?

I can't believe we're into December already. I had so many plans for handmade goodies this Christmas but I'm starting to hyperventilate at the thought of all I want to do, and the time left to do it. I'm sure November was shorter than normal this year!
I was reminded by the gorgeous Autumnal wreath on Attic24 that I had Christmas wreathy plans myself. I covered the polystyrene base with random stripes of festive colours - so far,so good.

I then wanted a vast selection of leaves and flowers and baubles and robins and other fripperies to smother my wreath with. 

So far I've managed one sprig of mistletoe and a holly leaf!

Oh dear - some way to go then!
