Thanks I'm glad you like it, Heather Oops, I did mean the LED lights actually, even though I trust wool, I don't trust me with naked flames My snowperson is about 15 inches top to bottom and about 10.5 across the width.

Half way around the world in 5 days! Here are my super dooper goodies from Tess. I love them all. Just look at those cute little Santa specs! The Mohair locks from little Tinx, are just the best, far, far superior to any I've bought. Even my husband can't stop waxing lyrical over the softness and sheen. Thank you very much Tess xmas 2012 007 by koffipot, on Flickr

yippee they have arrived we have the most awful wind storm here yesterday, my adult son has chicken pox really bad so I had my grand-daughter Sophie here this weekend, we have 3 phase electricity into the house and one of the phases wires touched another and came down, lost of whiz pop and bang and dreadful smell of melting plastic, waiting for the insurance accesor to arrived. Damage to date, my lovely panasonic bread maker fried, my stove fried, a DVD player fried, Ian's breathing machine from the hospital fried, the UPS protecting my computer down stairs fried, toaster also, no wonder I feel off today with all the stress of yesterday. Everything in my studio is OK. argh so close to Xmas and I'm having it here this year, at the moment it feels like I'm swimming against the current. So glad they have arrived and now you have a little of Tinx to play around with.

I know, the insurance guy has just left and acted like it was coming out of his own bank account.! They are going to try to get it all fixed before they will replace them. He didn't even know what a UPS was? Now that is a bit of a worry isn't it. We have one covering the TV our son gave us when he upgraded to yet a bigger screen I'm so releived that is OK.

Hopefully he is just the first guy and someone that knows what they are doing will be out to make final decisions. You could always call his boss and complain a bit.

Talk about one thing on top of another!!! Hope you get things sorted out very quickly. I have to admit that UPS meant only Parcel Delivery to me, had to look it up in relation to electricity ! My daughter visited yesterday with her 2 little ones, they loved all of your goodies., especially the gnome and Santa bauble. Hang on in there, we'll all be thinking of you.
