DH and I have taken our decorations down today.

It’s so nice being able to draw the curtains without knocking over the candle bridges on the window sill, and just being able to move about more freely round the room.

Like to see them go up, but relieved when they come down.

This is the 🎄thread, BlueBelle - you’re free to ignore it - same as some of us may ignore threads we have no interest in.

I love the traditions that hand made gifts set up but they do take time to make. I can see no reason why those who are interested should not discuss this topic whenever they chose. To tell others not to is simply rude.

Oh Christmas - are we talking yet?

This was last year’s, DaisyAnneReturns, much the same as the others.
It’s from the patterns in Jean Greenhowe’s ‘Christmas Special’ booklet (main set) and Christmas Treasures (the donkey).

In case you’re not familiar with JG, her instructions are crystal clear and explicit - if you follow them exactly the results do turn out just like the illustration.

I have completed Mary, Joseph and wee Baby Jesus plus two sheep although one looks more like a polar bear 🙂

Are those from the original, long- languishing N set?
If so, 👏👏 and 🥂!

I have had at least 3 emails over the last few weeks from Balsam Hill, purveyors of expensive C……. Trees urging me to buy mine now.

They’re advertising on TV, too.

Yes, admittedly they were completed ages ago in a flush of enthusiasm 😁
The rest are all sleeping in their little bags in a larger bag in a box in the cupboard under the stairs.

September - a New School Year Resolution!
