Re: Christmas with homemade and frugal gifts
you weren't listening - I said it was for the tree outside by the front door - this tree is going to look fab with bits of twine dangling from it with nothing left on the ends - better get the green twine maybe that will look more festive It will be alright in the end , if its not alright, it isn't the end .

I did wonder how you were going to manage with the bigger one Helen xx

Re: Christmas with homemade and frugal giftsPerchy please don't apologise for our Helen, she made me laugh and that is an invaluable gift, she is a dotty blonde though
Mo, I think I will probably go along this route, although I have tried using bird feeders on this tree and they never gey used much, I think maybe its just too close to the path so has people walking by a lot. It will be alright in the end , if its not alright, it isn't the end .
Quote from the proprietor of the The best exotic Marigold Hotel for the elderly and beautiful Re: Christmas with homemade and frugal giftsI don't know if you could hang them outside Annie if you varnished them with a polyurethane varnish it might work. We just used acrylic paint on them and I'm going to use polyurethane varnish (but they will be inside though).
Josh is good by the way off to school today so he was happy (he loves school)...getting more and more excited about Christmas although he doesn't get the snow thing as it's getting hotter and hotter here....maybe one year we'll get over and he can see Christmas with the dark and cold and maybe even snow..... Helen why don't you make a tag for the knitted tree decs...knit a little square with the date on and then attact it to the dec or on the bit it hangs from. ¸.•´¸.•*´¨) ¸.•*¨)✰

and the finished decorations..... We've had another lovely day and Josh could do his thing with the decorating...I love Christmas ¸.•´¸.•*´¨) ¸.•*¨)✰
