THE TREE GETS DRESSED
It's good to be back.
Things have been busy. When I've grabbed my ten minutes of treat time I've been blog reading instead of blog writing :)
Getting to that time of year when the days are running by so fast + lots to do before Christmas. Our tree is dressed. Bosco makes a daily ritual of naughtily jumping up + knocks the needles flying....it is a tease though with it's little bird ornaments beckoning!
Our Christmas cards are all done. I had fun with a potato print + after some experimenting I ended up with these. Help as always was on hand from Bosco when I came to write inside them....
Simple + sparkly + on a tree theme.
Hope everyone's having a good week. I've been working extra shifts in the Post Office....as you'd imagine it is crazily non-stop this time of year with what seems to be a never-ending queue. Looking forward to a day at home tomorrow....just me, the radio + sewing machine....no crowds....orange + clove oils burning....lots of festive making. Until next time! x

Fantastic cards - simple idea but very effective!
Your photos have really captured Christmas.
I love how cats are so fasinated with Christmas trees and all the cat toys/decorations they hold.
Cards are wonderful - I going to start calling you Wonder woman!
Your cards are really lovely. I love the little sparkly bits. Your day off sounds lovely. So Christmassy.
What a beautifully decorated Christmas tree, I love the ribbons you tied on the end of each branch. Lovely Christmas cards, simple and effective (thanks for the inspiration)!

welcome rebecca! thank you for your sweet words...i always think i'll not be able to come up with a new christmas card so it's a relief i did + that people like the idea :)
dear lynn...bosco pics especially for you!! i am very doubtful of being a wonder woman...if you saw the state of my house...i'm more like whirlwind girl ;)
hi nonnie! glad you like the sparkle...i have a lot of it around from my disco days! my day off's going good so far...even had coffee + stollen for an extra christmassy treat!
hello miss cruststation...i'm glad to have inspired as i get so much from other blogs myself. at least one ribbon needs to be re-tied per day with a leaping cat about!
