Every year on social media I do a Twelve days of Christmas with a theme: Fabrics In nativities, Angry Donkeys In Nativities or whatever, and this year I've decided to just make a bunch of memes using the wise men at the nativity, one a day for the countdown! I won't post them all here every day because that would be truly annoying, but here's here's one of them.

I hope it brings a little giggle to your Xmas season, wherever you are and whatever you're doing. I'll be at home with my cat, but I have done a little online shopping while I've been recovering with my knee, and I've just been wrapping those and putting them under the tree so I have presents on Xmas morning, something I've not had for quite a few years, since most of the celebrations are done on other days because it's more convenient.

I've been working on this outfit for two days while at the mall doing the book promotions for Medieval Wisdom for Modern Women, and finally I finished it with a day to spare! At least I was able to wear it for one day here, and then at the Markets the next day and the following week. The red is perfect for Christmas, although it is an undergown, it will also be worn by itself like this.

Slightly hilarious that the best photos I can get of this gowne is with Santa, who was an utter delight. I may be able to edit him out at some point, but it's such a great photo, I thought I'd share.

My special Xmas book offer is now active!

Use the special code ITSAWRAP when you order on the website, you can take advantage of a special offer! If you'd like to buy Medieval Wisdom For Modern Women for someone as a festive gift, instead of me posting to you and you posting to someone else, I can wrap the book, write your message on the gift tag and post it directly to your recipient overseas for you! I can add bookmarks too, which you can find on the website shop also.

It saves you two sets of postage, and that's a saving to you!

You can order the book by emailling books@rosaliegilbert.com for the cost of postage in your part of the world, but the maximum postage will be AU$15.00, and in many countries, less! Payment is by Paypal, so I'll need to get your details for that and I'll send you an invoice.

I really do have to say that I'm delighted with how the cards came out. They're a gorgeous quality, glossy and pretty and I'm looking forward to sending them out this year!

I made three different designs, and I love them all. This one here is the Amber's favourite of the three. For me, it's hard to pick a favourite!
