And I have been playing with my iPad camera!
Behold a phot-laden blog post.
This weekend saw some decoration admiration...
My fireplace in daylight - looking very red and white:
Got to love the festive toadstools that blend in rather well:
They look rather nice at night too:
As does the entire thing lit up:
Last year's festive flowerpot snowman came out and is amongst the bottle brush and vintage miniature trees:
My knitted angel is back at the top of the tree, however she did cause a sensation on Facebook as certain people - naming no names - thought she was rather well endowed and a Barbara Windsor fairy - I will have you know she is praying angelically, it is just an unfortunate camera angle!
The glitter church is back on the tree:
My nested festive dolls are where they should be:
And this year's new bauble purchases are looking delightful on the tree at my mum and dad's:
There will be more posted over Christmas I am sure, but here's my new Father Christmas from John Lewis - he'll be coming to live on my tree next year:
Me and my mum really do have a thing for winter scenes on baubles, especially trees!
After all that decorating I was due one of these... well it was actually one of many:
No greater excuse for a hot chocolate than decorating fatigue!
On Sunday I had a lovely trip up to see my friends and little Miss Anja - and to try out a venue for the Christening party. I was totally honoured and over the moon to be asked to be Miss Anja's Godmother! So wonderful. :oD
We then had an evening by the Christmas tree, which had been prepped Austrian style - complete with sawn off branches to create symmetrical levels and real tree candles:
And in the evening the candles were lit and it was very magical with carols in the background and the tree glowing beautifully:
Anja is a bit of an evening night owl so she loved looking at all the sparkly and twinkly things around while she made the rounds between her daddy and mummy. And I got plenty of cuddles and smiles in before heading home close to midnight! More of a Cinderella than a fairy godmother moment! ;o)
