Tomorrow is the start of nativity so today, whilst Toby is at school, I have got most of my decorations out to see what I like and will put out this year (kitsch, blown glass baubles, bright pastels, white, snow covered trees and huge paper pompoms) and what I need to get (snow frosted fake tree, angel for the nativity, special kitschy glass baubles for our annual collections). I also started wrapping gifts with white thick tissue I have in for wrapping my sculptures, bright candy coloured ribbon bows and Toby's Christmassy stickers.
I love the colours this year and am so excited about putting them all up and making the pompoms from the gorgeous tissue paper ;)
This Friday my sister and I are taking the boys to see Father Christmas on his sleigh arriving in Knutsford to turn on the lights (and drink Mulled Wine from the stalls) and at the weekend I will cover the table and floor as well as an excited 3 year old with oilcloth and transform an empty wine box into a stable to house our inherited family nativity set, with paint, scrunched paper, straw and moss...so exciting ;)
