WOYWW 859

 Here we are again, Wednesday and time for WOYWW... 

Sarah has the link at Sarah's Craftshed  

I put a few more Christmas cards together,  not had another count up but think there may be just about enough now.











when we were at Kew on Saturday we took advantage of a members 20% discount week (double the normal 10%)  and did a (very little) Christmas shopping. .   but I also treated myself to a Christmas tree...





it's made of fabric scraps and I'd seen it a few weeks ago 


as you know, i don't have space for a proper sized tree and this will do nicely  on a window sill.  

I also bought myself a gorgeous Amaryllis bulb which I must plant up!  

we also discovered that you can walk across the bridge that's been built across the Palm House pond (it was even open to do so during the day)  and you get a great view of the lights on it close up 


we saw our colourful friend Goldie the Golden pheasant in the woodland too. 

it brightened up a very dull (but luckily dry) day.


That's  it for me this week, Happy WOYWW  and sending continued good recovery wishes to Neet.

The tree is fab, so colourful (like Goldie!) and it will fit your space. Love it. Maddie planted an amaryllis too but not sure - we've never gown one before :). The cards are all great - love the depth of your stash. Always a surprise!
Happy WOYWW!

Great view of the lights on the water, arent they fab! How nice to have admired something and then discovered on another visit that you could have a bigger discount - it was meant to be, and like you, I'd have made space for that tree, it's gorgeous!

I love that little tree…wonder how it’s made cos I’m not short of fabric scraps lol. Sounds like we are both finished making cards for this year.
Hugs,

Lovely fabric tree, so colourful like the beautiful Goldie. Does she come expecting food? Happy WOYWW. Angela #10

I like that little tree, imagining that good use was made of all the fabric.
I love your Kew photos; Goldie is a handsome bird! (Or is he now called Roadrunner 🤣)
Happy WOYWW

That's a really fab Christmas tree. What is the centre- a foam cone maybe? That pheasant is funky too - gorgeous colours. x x Jo 🌈
