The Mr has been outside in the hellish weather doing important things in the garden, there are always important things to do in the garden, of course. I was inside busy varnishing my welsh dresser, like you do, when he called me, very excited. He had spotted a Hedgehog, (or Hogwodge as my dear friend Linda used to call them), ambling along, it's only the second one he has ever seen in his life! Such a shame the little film he took didn't turn out so well.

I am slowly getting more in the Christmas mood, I hope you all are too dear chums. After spotting Sue's socky delight advent calendar, I rushed to get one, I needed some new socks and these are super nice and really quite a good price. Sadly out of stock on line now, but I managed to track down a box at a local store. Hurrah.
I did have a super cute Christmas film featuring felted animals, that I had hoped to share, which I have somehow managed to delete, yes, yes, I know I'm too tidy. So instead I'll leave you with a slightly disturbing article about strange Christmas cards. Possibly best filed under 'better not send'.
AWWW..... What a sweet little hedgehog (I rather prefer hogwodge myself LOL)....even though I know it is not the one spied by your Mr. Glad to hear you found yourself some Christmas spirit...I'm still looking for mine. I have brought a few things out thinking it would help, but not so much. While I am sure I would have adored the film of felted animals having dabbled in felting myself, I must say the "disturbing" Christmas postcards were right up my alley LOL. (Then again, I like memento mori items too which most find disturbing). Some are truly disturbing....I'm not fond of the dead animal thing (I know, I know...so au contraire to the memento mori thing), but some of the others were so unusual that they are fascinating. Thanks so much for sharing!! ~Robin~
ReplyDeleteHi Robin, hope you're keeping safe and warm. I thought the vintage cards were hilarious. Jean
