Return of the Christmas Potted Plant...

I'm a bit stuck for a decent blog post ("again?" you say...) mainly due to my not having done anything other than sleep and make Christmas presents that I cant show yet!  I've been keeping the most awful hours lately - I'd had a long spell of not sleeping at all during the night which naturally leaves me useless during the day, and when you've got pressies to make I just gave in and got up whenever I woke up...well, I've heard I'm not the only nutter person who got up in the wee small hours to sew!

Anyway, all presents made, and those that needed posted were posted in time - big relief, small miracle...

Hardly any Christmas trees made it to the island this year, so I'll leave you with the Christmas Pot Plant in all its festive glory, and a reminder to put radio 2 on at 9am Christmas morning for Junior Choice....  I will!  (Elliecat likes it..)

Now, off to make the (veggie) sausage rolls, the cheesecake, and wrap Aunties presents.  Merry Christmas one and all!

  17. Reminds me muchly of our Christmas Ficus. That was our tree for a few years. We had my grandmothers vintage red feathered clip-on birds that made it so festive that we kept them on it year round and just took down the lights :) Merry Christmas!
