Oh Christmas Tree Oh Christmas Tree!

Recycled Christmas time with the Jones!

Well, well, well, it’s been a very Merry Christmas, not to mention a thrifty one!

‘Our Graham’ caught me ditch deep battling with this years Christmas Tree! Found it cut down, sawn off in it’s prime, laying waste in a ditch….thought I’d better bag it as soon as can be, after a few odd looks from other motorists, who come along but my beloved, we collected the tree together and set about putting all me handmade apples and decorations to have ourselves a unique and thrifty – no expense spared – Christmas Tree!

Was really lovely to be able to make all natural wreaths for the door, some friends came round and we made them all up together…made our own mini arrrrt gallery as we surveyed them drinking tea n mince pies – we were all using the same leaves, pine and conifers but each one came out different and entirely unique!
Simply lovely!

I am really looking forward to 2009 – it’s going to be even more exciting than this year, got some great costume ideas and accessories to put in the shop, lots of creative ideas to share and oodles of excitement to emit! Have a Happy New Year – See you there!

Oh I do love the low October sun and dark moonlit nights. I’m focusing my attention on some re-useable Advent calendars at the mo, it’s been great gathering patchwork pieces to sew together hoping to pass on to the future
