The little green cottage smells of cinnamon and ginger, the cold winter wind is ruffling the feathers of the hens, the twinkle lights glow and we are up to our elbows in last minute doings.You may recognize those spiky Aloes from my header. Despite my best efforts at neglect, they have continued to grow and propagate, multiplying in bunny-like abandon. So, inspired by Dottie Angel's jars in jackets, I thought why not tins in turtlenecks and cans in cardis?
What a grand last minute gift idea! I'll make them all cozy, dressed in their best sweaters, and at the last minute deposit them on doorsteps with notes of care. The recipient will open their door and see that a canned aloe has come seeking shelter and a forever home. If you see one upon your doorstep, please take them in and give them some love. They wont cause nearly as much mischief as a pesky gnome and they are quite useful around the house. 
I am off, for the Gingerbread men are demanding duds and decorations!I hope you are having a cozy day where ever you are!
So cute, I love the one with the sweater one, it made me giggle. Happy decorating.

Merry Christmas, see you in January! x
ReplyDeleteOh wow - I really love your interpretation of dottie's jars here. Gorgeous!

Amazing ideia.
ReplyDeleteoh such cuties! cardis are probably my favourite garment (with dresses), those wee ones are beyond adorable... i've been meaning to make little swedish lovikka-style jar jumpers for ages, too much projects ongoing or planned at the moment, so maybe next year i can join your most fab jar-cladding-club?
ReplyDeletea belated happy birthday (i too want to skip the age-thing, i can't believe we're in this age-group now, where have the years gone...) and i hope you've had a lovely christmas time!!
