I like trying new things out, it did cost £65 to do the workshop. I ran out of time to do lacquer so these eventually will tarnish if I don't do it.

I had to get it especially after that guardian article... also a hellebore is also known as a Christmas rose (according to someone I know) so it's an Xmas jumper really.

I know him, he's lovely 🙂 (and is also on bluesky)

....he is staring you in the face?

No, these were a bit closer to my neck of the woods.

I've not done my tree yet, but have started a tiny bit.... Doing the light trail early in the season (like on Friday) meant no massive crowds!

2/2 I did however leave with a new #moomins bookmark and 5 new books containing translated Korean fiction, and Christmas folklore featuring Krampus, and a little book on the music of #twinpeaks so there's that.

I vaguely remember that cartoon, but never really got into it. Probably watched Garfield more as a kid.

Might have just ordered one for an important person in my life.... Me (if I asked family for it they'd wait until it was too late to order and then it wouldn't happen)

Adverts make me glad I don't watch regular TV. However if you enjoy a good parody advert, may I suggest the Manchester museum Christmas one, as it does feature a giant taxidermy crab (in real life the crab is bigger than most children)

The Lake house

I remember going past it on the ghost bus tour (super fun) it was pointed out to us (the bus) as "if you're quick you can get a dick pic" 😂
