O Christmas Tree

This year, as it was just The Boyfriend and I living in the house, we decided to make our own Christmas tree. I spent ages trying to come with creative ideas before we settled on wrapping a plant trainer with twine. Over the course of four evenings I wound & wound & wound the twine over each leg of the plant trainer, with only one incident  of self harm where I was trying to pull the twine tight and it snapped, causing me to punch myself in the mouth. The Boyfriend thought it was hilarious. I did not.

Once it had been completely wrapped, it was time to decorate! I found these cute, small baubles in red, white and two tones of grey. Coupled with that was a silver, metal star and some fairy lights. All in all it looked pretty good.
 
 
Unfortunately I did not have enough time to make a wreath for the front door, so we went without. But we did decorate other parts of the house with fairy lights; the conservatory and the family room. Also we had a bit of fun with the decorations and I must say I make a pretty decent Christmas tree.
 
 
 

Now just to wait for Christmas.
 
Over and out xxoo
