Christmas Sunshine

Greece
December 28, 2016 11:32am CST
This year I made a few of my own Christmas decorations. The wood in this one is burned pine bark, treated with a glue that shines and brings out the colour of the natural wood. The candle holder is an acorn cup and I picked up the other odd pieces which I think must be some kind of pine seed. The photo was taken early in the morning when the sun was shining on the table. Winter sunshine, still a novelty to an English woman abroad in sunny Greece.

There was not a whole crowd unfortunately, but I enjoyed it and I made a couple for Christmas presents for my friends.

@41CombedaleRoad - It is sad when life has to end with no crowd in spite of being born to a crowd. Do happy things and smile and you are a contented person.

The wood just looked charred until I treated it with this special glue I have. After that it got a new look.

People like receiving home made gifts too. So it is double the pleasure in the making and the giving.

I like this. It is very creative. Of course the snowman probably feels a bit out of his element in sunny Greece.

He may have been out of his element last week but yesterday it snowed and a little today as well.

We have had two mornings of snow and the clouds were thick and low. No sunshine until today.
