Willow Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I'm longing to put my trees up but the living room is out of action and all bits and pieces from the room are strewn over the rest of downstairs as DH decided to rewire living room as new fireplace has gone in but stove is still on order . I'm hoping to get back into the room tomorrow evening which would be good timing as we have a funeral to go to tomorrow morning and it feels wrong to put up decorations before that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Ooh pretty piccies. Hmm me wants new front door - I like Christian's inside doors too (although I have similar but only downstairs so far). Me wants lots of things - those that want don't get! I really need some Christmas spirit - but we haven't been shopping yet - a little rum works wonders! Well done to everyone getting so organised.

Charlottechicken Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I think Lesley wins the award for 'Most perfect porch' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I think Lesley wins the award for 'Most perfect porch' We loved it when we saw it as well - it's very French style and once I'd painted the front door it was perfect. It's an ideal place for a tree.....we're very fortunate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Lovely tree Lesley and very arty pic OSH - I like Christian's inside doors too (although I have similar but only downstairs so far) Have waited a very long time for those doors Koojie. I love them. Not working tomorrow and OH is back from vegas in the late afternoon, so tomorrow is Operation Christmas Time at Farm Cottage God help him when he gets back.

Valkyrie Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Brilliant! My tree is up - it is bare at the moment (goodness knows how mum is getting into the spare room tonight - the boxes of decorations are right in the way). Tell a lie - it has one straggley bit of gold tinsel dangling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Lights are on, the baubles are on, the fancy dangly bits are on and some of those Chinese wooden things are on (unfortunately - and Madam Mim bought some more from the Hospice shop - arghhh), choccies are on - except for 2 which madam also polished off. Still have white butterflies and ribbons to go - ooh and the beads are on (forgot those - they go on after the lights). Fairy is on - somewhat wonkily. And of course the gold tinsel! Getting there.

Alis girls Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 BMS - even checked OH's knicker drawer - I think they got last BA flight to warmer climes before strike - I even got OH to open loft for a rummage. no luck - i think Mary and Joe have done a runner. I looked longelingy (sp) at a navity set in Tiger but refrained from buying as we know then I';ll end up with 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 Lights are on, the baubles are on, the fancy dangly bits are on and some of those Chinese wooden things are on. What, festive chopsticks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Nooooooo, those mass produced snowmen, santas, soldiers, snowmen etc. Chopsticks would look rather nice - perhaps the Japanese ones - like icicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I like the paper chain chickens!! We had to make biological christmas decorations in Biology (obviously ) ... there were a few festive hearts and brains then our table did chickens (well we passed them off as turkeys to be more festive ) ... the first one I did wrong so we just had 8 chickens, but then we realised how to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Tree done at last - found the candy canes I bought so they are now on (Jelly Belly's with sizzling cinammon - ooh wonder who likes those? And "Ooops, word censored!"ody else does. Other flavours too though). Piccies done but will try and get them on - next job tidying up my sewing mess and assorted other mess. Then I'll get around to the rest of the decorations (sooner rather than later because of all the boxes we are tripping over!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
