Peacocks

OK, I know I have finally flipped, but I wanted to share my chooky tree, and hopefully there is someone on the forum who will appreciate it (unlike my family who just roll their eyes).

 

 

The whole tree

 

The chicken on the top of the Christmas tree (of course)

And a final close up....

Lovely, Prim HenMum

 

I would have loved to have done something similar for our tree but having spent enough on the chooks this year (plus one of my girls is currently under a course of treatment at the vets), I don't think it would go down to well with my old scroodge of a hubby.

 

He has been very patient really so can't complain

Gorgeous.

That's lovely . (Don't think you'll find many people on this forum who wouldn't think that was fab .)

Its mostly home made so didn't cost much. It IS a new tree which was £6 from B & Q. My daughter made the chicken 'party bags' and I knitted the egg cosies (which have kinder eggs and buttons in them for our young neighbours). The lights belonged to my Mother-in-Law and are at least 25 years old, the glittery red birds were £1.25 for 2 in the Wisley shop, the cut out stars were £5 for 10.... I could go on. SO YOU TOO COULD HAVE A TREE LIKE THIS!

Still haven't quite sussed Photobucket tho......

 

Thanks all, for the appreciation....

Oh and the chicken on top is actually a money box that clucks when you put coins in - a birthday present from my sister in the summer! We made the halo out of pipe cleaners and a bit of tinsel. My neighbour says I have 'Calvinist' principles, which I guess is another way of saying 'Scrooge'!
