Last weekend we finally got around to buying a Christmas tree. This year our Christmas tree search proved much more difficult than normal. I am sure that last year we paid about £17.00 from B&Q. We originally thought we would go there again this year, however they ranged in price from about £16.00 (although these were brown twigs with a few needles left) to £49.99. Now I am not a scrooge however £50.00 for a tree for 3 weeks seems a little excessive especially based on my recent resignation. So after some trips to some local nursery's we found a beautiful locally grown tree with plenty of needles for half the price of B&Q.

I have as always got a few projects on the go. Here are a couple of my latest projects:
 |
| A fabric Birthday card for my friend D |
I decided to design and make some Christmas Cards.
 |
| First of all I made a quick sketch of a Robin. |
 |
| Then using various fabric scraps I appliquéd my Robin on to the front of my card. |
Also this week we have picked up a bargain on ebay. We got a whole heap of Brio train track. One lot cost £4.19 and the other £15.00. One evening I spent about 3 hours putting together this great track design only for it to be trashed the following morning in about 3mins.
Tonight we are off out to Pizza Express and then a Carol Concert at the Cathedral which I am sure Mimi will just love.
