There are those days when husband mine feels adventurous and comes up with ideas for decorating. Poor lad did not have a chance doing so when young, with his mother converting from pious Roman-Catholic to even more pious Jehova's Witness. Christmas was a no-go zone for the family then. Hubby does watch reels, this I noticed when he brought in a piece of tree bole he had not been able to cleave and began to drill a hole into it, where he stuck a branch into. I only had to wire some thuja, and ready was a pretty tree for the terrace. Afterwards he cut the log we brought from son's house (had been a part of the late barn once) into pieces which I turned into small trees that don't look like trees but are very oeko. Hubby dutifully ate an orange so that I was able to make another tiny wreath out of the peels. The older, now dry one, got fastened to the arificial window hung on the wall next to the sofa. Then the Christmas baubles got brought up from the basement. For a while the livingroom looked like a playroom for Christmas elves blowing up boxes with baubles. It's better now but far from suitable for visitlrs. Good that the doorbell died, so we won't know if someone rang it. Tomorrow I will have to finish the Advent wreaths. Strange- I have two of them, all candle holders, candles aplenty but have no clue how to decorate. Hedwig, the Potter owl, must have flown off, the snitches, too. I am tempted to do the Forbidden Forest with Firenze and Snape chasing recalcitrant students. I also am experienced at doing tiny trees from scratch, might even look nice! The boys would love the scenery, all depends on my fingers now- today all my blisters decided to burst (too much wiring) and I definitely do not need any sort of infection! I will post pictures of the outcome, if there is one...
