This year, Miss Flowergaren and I decided we would try and MAKE a tree for Christmas. There was much discussion, and not much encouragement from the the other flowers in the garden . . . but it didn't stop us.
We chipped away at our plan, and have come up with a lovely tree. The other, not so encouraging flowers, had to eat some humble pie, as they had to agree, that we did a pretty good job!
It's beginning to look like Christmas around here.
Now reports are over, there has been the soft whirrr of the sewing machine, humming from my room. I have finished a little cot quilt for my old boss, who has a new little grandson.
The cot quilt is lovely. I still have my son's although a bit worn now.

ReplyDeleteWell done. Influenced by those box thorn christmas trees from our past? I notice you did not promote the boys real trees. I am going to put my plastic one up today. Might take it outside and hose off any dust first.
ReplyDeleteI had to make one once for MADEC from rolly pollys carefully threaded on to a post cemented into a pot.
