The village is building up to the festive period and the switching on of the Christmas lights took place yesterday, which also marks the window display competition.
For this the girl decided on a Gingerbread Man theme.
Did she
a) Order them from the internet?
b) Purchase them from John Lewis?
c) Spend every night for the last week making them by hand, with limited help from me?
She started with Brown felt and scissors
Then the smile, buttons and heart were added. The eyes were out sourced to a man, as you can clearly tell.
Next came the filling and sewing together.
The night before deployment, a team meeting was held to discuss 'Operation Dangle'. All the boys were there........
...and the plan was put into place at 1700hrs on Friday
Everyone was in place, however when we returned on Saturday morning some of the candy canes had disappeared and nobody knew where they had gone.
Gardengirl will return to blogland shortly, mostly likely in the new year.
