nearly December…

written by Jen on Tuesday, November 27, 20074 Comments

It’s nearly December, which of course means it’s nearly Christmas. Today, in hopes of not leaving everything to the last minute I got something done for Christmas!

I picked up this large cane wreath at an op shop recently for a couple of bucks. I bought some tinsel, a garland, some battery operated lights, a bell and some Santa tags and got to work. I wound things around and around and wired the lights and battery pack to secure them around the back.

It was hard to take a good photo but I am very happy with how it turned out. Not bad for an hour’s work!

Last Sunday I had another good day at the Old Bus Depot Markets and I’ll be there again on Saturday 16 and Saturday/Sunday 22 and 23 December.

It’s been a while since I have put up any gorgeous children photos so here they are:

Jack is just about finished 1st grade and likes to tell us he’s not 6, he’s 6 and 3/4.

Here is Emma, dressed up as a fairy for a friend’s birthday party:
