Still fiddling with baubles!

Lovely trees Jax and Kitty. I know I’ve admired that wall colour in the past Kitty. Still love it.

I am a terrible fiddler with our Christmas tree, I am constantly deciding a certain bauble should be on a different part of the tree. Wish I could break this awful habit of everything having to be symmetrical, I drive myself bonkers.

That should have been North West Wales

No we are not wets wales
Overlooking Bae Ceredigion
During the 60s apparently our land used to boast the first new potatoes on Pen Llyn

No fiddling here!! Eldest GD always does our tree with help from her younger cousins. Always looks lovely.
The only bit that I will ever fiddle with is the one tree decoration I buy each year from the garden centre where we traditionally take some of the GCs to see the big man. This year it is a fluffy santa sat in a snowball!! Love our motley collection of tree decorations. All the grandchildren have a tree decoration of some type with their name on. There's even one for the cat!!

Rubysong If they are plaster have you tried polyfilla? Brush the cut edges to get rid of any dust and put a thin layer of polyfilla (not the silicon one) between the edges then hold/fasten in place while the polyfilla dries. That's what I would try. You can get it premixed in a tub.

No more fiddling here, just watering!

I said elsewhere that we weren't having a tree.

That was before 5 year old wolfie came round and asked where our tree was. That saw his doting grandparents hurtling off to JL to buy a 7ft prelit one (half price!!!) and a new skirt (also half price)

I hope he appreciates it.

Are you in the South Gwyllt?
It hasnt been that cold has it, so could that be why?

Still berries on the holly this year not all eaten by the birds
Should go and collect some.

I thought I might get the boxes of decorations down today and start thinking about it.

My Christmas tree

I have done quite a bit but there is more to do. I have an agel either end of the mantlepiece and one of them has shed her wings. I think they are made of plaster or pottery. I have tried gluing it back with glue gun and also with blutac neither was any use. Does anyone have any suggestions?

So sorry MiniMoon, I can now see butterflies on your pretty wallpaper. On my teeny weeny phone I thought I could see carousels and snowmen.

AreWeThereYetShe isn't as big as all that. I think the camera angle made her look larger.

Had to de-bauble yesterday as the lights blew a fuse!!

We didn't have one in our last house Minimoon. We nearly didn't have one in this house after I nearly burned it down a few years ago with a candle 😄 I love your silvery tree - that is a big angel on top. Ours in tiny, she's banging her head on the ceiling of the bay window 😄

Lovely tree.
Have you actually wallpapered for Christmas?

I used to do something similar to your mantlepiece AreWeThereYet, but this house doesn't have one.
This is my dining room tree.

We only started fiddling yesterday 😁 Mantelpiece is finished, windowsill is finished, tree is nearly finished. Hallway is started. Front door was finished but this morning the garland round the door had half fallen down - the sticky hook had unstuck overnight 😄 Wreath has stayed up though.

Just finished decorating the tree, stairs and mantelpiece. But where have the red baubles for the stags head gone?
Why is there always something you don’t find till the beginning of January!

As usual, my baubles are rather haphazardly placed, but they look OK from a distance. As it's a small (fake) tree, I need to use small baubles and managed to find a pack from you-know-who.

Ooh you are awful - but I like you!

I've actually started thinning things out. we only had one social occasion which was last Saturday then we are of to DD2 for Christ mas back on Boxing Day. I shall have them all down on New Year's Day while I'm cooking our turkey.
