1 Post/mail box
At first you might think this is just a standard Royal Mail Post box but if you
look carefully is bears the cypher for Edward VIII. He abdicated on
11 December 1936, less than a year after he became king.
2 Decay
This year we had an excellent crop of pears from our single pear tree. Sadly they did not keep very well so I was eating lots of pears before they rotted. The pheasants, rabbits and other fauna that visit our garden enjoyed the pear feast!
Click here to see (I hope) a slideshow of the decay taken over days. I've kept the slideshow frills-free!
Just in case it does not work for you, here are just 2 of the 15 pictures I took.
3 Secondhand
Let me introduce you to Lucy. She was gifted to me by a friend who was downsizing!
Lucky me. She has a view out of a window, looking at fields where there are sheep.
She seems happy in her new home.
4 Strand
I made this necklace from different STRANDS of yarn.
It is a Kumihimo braid, made on a disc rather than on my marudai stand.

5 Fold
FOLDING thickish paper to make Christmas cards. Not easy to do when my right
wrist, whilst free of its plaster cast, does not want to work like it used to!
So not a perfect example of paper folding but at least I managed it....
6 Own Choice
I 'don't do Christmas' ...... but I still like to see decorations, mostly in other people's houses!
I was at an Art Fair recently and saw this wreath hanging on the wall and
thought I could make that. So I did, despite my wrist being awkward to use!!!!
I used my Kumihimo disc to make a simple braid and found bells in my stash.
My Beloved described it as AMAZING, since he was involved in
making a mandrel to help me obtain the same size cone each time.
I hope you all have the Christmas of your choice.
