CHRISTMAS  FIR  CONES

With Christmas round the corner I wanted to make some fir cone decorations with new hessian ribbon I'd ordered especially for this very moment several months ago.  I like to be prepared!

Now,  I thought, let's go for a walk to find the fir cones, but who new they would be so hard to find at this time of year?  I just assumed fir cones - autumn - great!  Not so, it seems they are like gold dust round here unless someone knows where they are???

So what now?  Hurrah I found a box of cones I'd collected earlier in the year in Devon, really big ones, and thought ahah!   Treasure!       The result?....see what you think.

Next time I see cones I'll know to pick up loads ready for next Christmas!!
