Recycling for Christmas

Hello Everyone.  I would think you are all ready for the Man in the Red Suit arriving to-morrow.   Curtains are drawn and the tree and lamps are lit and it looks like being a lovely Christmas.   Outside its horrible with high winds and rain showers, but inside we are warm and cosy.   This was the table centre piece I made for Annie & Ronnie as they are kindly hosting this years family Christmas.   The base was from a used Prawn ring that I washed and saved earlier on this month and the Log branch and twigs were from my walks after the last storm.  I used my glue gun to make everything secure, and added some of my pine cones I have in a Christmas Basket.  I bought the little robins from a floristry shop.  There is also a little christmas tree at the back ,so it looks nice from all sides.  Now that Annie has it, I thought you would like to see it too.          Hugs Rita xxxx.    

Merry Christmas to All of You.

This is stunning Rita - what a fabulous bit of upcycling - what a clever idea too - I think I should try something like this next year - its just beautiful. Like you we are cosied in now - been to the pantomime this afternoon which was great fun but the wind is howling and the rain hitting the windows big time now and it feels good to be inside! Wishing you a fabulous Christmas! Hugs Rachel xx

Beautiful centrepiece Rita. A lovely finishing touch for a festive table. Clever you to make it. I'm useless at things like this. Think I should stick to knitting and crocheting!
