I honestly need to start taking some lovely pictures of your personalised Christmas baubles - as I add names to each one, I take a quick photo before popping them in the post. So last week I snuck up to the loft and got our Christmas tree out - for 2 reasons!
- The fun reason! So I could start hanging up each bauble I make and take a prettier, more Christmassy photo of all your lovely personalised bauble orders. Today, a gorgeous bauble for Hope is on my desk, ready to be varnished before heading off to her new home.
- The funny reason. Young cats. My two were tiny kittens last year, confined to inside and nibbling everything - so this will be their first Christmas tree. We're introducing it gradually, so right now we have an almost bare tree, and 'safe' baubles and ornaments will be added to see what happens over the next week or two! Wish me luck!

Meanwhile, all of my ceramic baubles are painted and ready for names. I have boxes of olive and sage green baubles, five shades of pink baubles with leaves painted on, purple, five different blues, and more!
Here are two personalised baubles I've written today - and remember you can find all of these baubles in my Christmas shop!


Oh! So far, no cats in the tree. They're far more interested in silvervine twigs from Pets at Home. I feel like we're winning!
