Every year I try to add some new ornaments to the tree. Obviously my favourite are those made by the children. Every year when my husband gets the Christmas box down from the attic, I get quite excited. It’s like seeing old friends. There’re always ones which I’ve forgotten about – and the memories come flooding back. I see myself in 30 years sitting in a fireside chair and looking at my Christmas tree. A memory of every past year.
This year one of my new ornaments is this Christmas robin. His PDF pattern is also going onto Etsy, as soon as there's some natural light for the photographs. He's the perfect size, like a large bauble. He'd make an excellent Christmas gift as well. Buy a decent size box (or make one out of cardboard), cover it in fabic or wrapping paper. Wrap the Robin in tissue and put it inside the box. After all, I think the most important thing about presents is the wrapping!
