Listen up, Ebenezer



Dear Mr HB,

Whilst others display pictures of festive magnificence on their blogs, I have been reduced to this.

Yes, I've had to whip out my baubles in the garden. Don't worry. I don't think the neighbors saw ... this time. However, if a tree isn't forthcoming soon, there's really no telling what I might do next. There may even be flashing in the front garden (fairy lights, that is).

Your loving wife,
Hoppo Bumpo xxx


Pictured above: A selection of baubles made a few years ago. Polystyrene balls wound with crochet cotton, then decorated with ribbon, beads and sequins.

    I was in a relationship with a "Grinchy" for a number of years, so I understand your need to flash your baubles in public!

    Treeless here until the weekend...and then Mr Ric Rac always wants a teeny one and I want a soaring bending-to-fit-ceiling type tree. I feel your pain.
