SCOUT: "Do you think it suits me?"

COUSIN PADDINGTON: "Very Carnaby Street!"
SCOUT: "Very what, Cousin Paddington?"
COUSIN PADDINGTON: "Oh never mind, Scout! Come on, let's all sing Happy Birthday to our very special Birthday Bear Scout!"
PADDY, COUSIN PADDINGTON and DADDY: "Happy Birthday to you!"
PADDY, COUSIN PADDINGTON and DADDY: "Happy Birthday to you!"

PADDY, COUSIN PADDINGTON and DADDY: "Happy Birthday to you!"
SCOUT: "Oh thank you everyone!" *Blushes pink beneath new beret and blush woollen fur.* "This is the bestest birthday EVER!"
My Paddington Bear came to live with me in London when I was two years old (many, many years ago). He was hand made by my Great Aunt and he has a chocolate coloured felt hat, the brim of which had to be pinned up by a safety pin to stop it getting in his eyes. The collar of his mackintosh is made of the same felt. He wears wellington boots made from the same red leather used to make the toggles on his mackintosh.
He has travelled with me across the world and he and I have had many adventures together over the years. He is a very precious member of my small family.
Scout was a gift to Paddy from my friend. He is a Fair Trade Bear hand knitted in Africa. His name comes from the shop my friend found him in: Scout House. He tells me that life was very different where he came from, and Paddy is helping introduce him to many new experiences. Scout catches on quickly, and has proven to be a cheeky, but very lovable member of our closely knit family.
Cousin Paddington is a recent visitor to our family. Travelling all the way from London, he was caught in transit thanks to the Coronavirus pandemic, so it looks like he is stopping with us for a while. The more I look into his happy, smiling face, the more attached I am becoming to him.

Origami Icosahedron (Maria Sinayskaya)
rectangles (2:3), 10 units, no glue
Same folding sequence as here applied to 2:3 rectangles. The longer the rectangle, the longer the flap, but the difference is not visible in the finished model.
Reflecting spoons are altogether too much fun! You're going to see still more of them, my friends! I'd been looking for something big enough to fold or curl up behind the spoons. Here is a spoon and two forks lined up on some Christmas wrapping paper, proudly toeing the lines!!

60° Origami Modulars (Maria Sinayskaya)
The same folding sequence applied to different rectangles - 2:3, 3:4, 2:√3 and 1:1. The square version, although works in terms of angles and pattern, doesn't quite work in terms of layers - there is too much paper inside. Everything else from about 2:3 to the double bronze rectangle works fine.
I got a gift in this wrapping paper. I like it because it looks like the old-style artwork/ornaments from the 60s & 70s.
I have a love/hate relationship with Christmas. I love the lights, buying people gifts, the 2 week break from work...I hate the crowds, how weird people get, worrying that I am not getting cool enough gifts and this year? I am having Anna questioning Santa and feeling torn between lying that he is real and letting her believe the magic (like I know she still wants to).
It's exhausting!!!
Get me a drink, stat!

Origami Dodecahedron (Tomoko Fuse)
rectangles, 30 units, no glue
Published in Unit Origami Essence by Tomoko Fuse
Underneath the mistletoe last night!
She thought that I was tucked up
In my bedroom, fast asleep!
Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night!
My granddaughter gave me the fir-tree mug for Christmas. When I went to make room for it in the cupboard, I found I had no fewer than eight tins of black and green tea with various Christmassy flavourings, four of them unopened since the previous year. So I was able to gie some away and have been drinking the rest ever since.
The X in Xmas is the Greek letter Chi (X), the first letter of Christos and a symbol for Christ. And it should be pronounced Christmas and not Eks-mas.

A cool glass of Monbazillac which has always been our favourite sweet white wine, which goes well with a chocolate dessert or an hors d'oeuvre featuring foie gras (like Sauternes or Loupiac). The background is the Christmas Wrapping paper I used last year.
About the letter W, I always wonder why it is called double U when really it is double V (as they say in French, double-vé). Two interlocking Vs, making a W, are the symbol of the town I lived in for 20 years, Vevey. In many French words, W is pronounced V, as in le wagon. Wagner, Walkyrie, Wisigoth, while in others, derived from English or Flemish, it sounds the same as in English: whisky, water-polo, wigwam.
W is also pronounced V in German, as in Wiesbaden and Wien (Vienna) and Wurst (sausage). And Wein that sounds like vine but means wine.
Also in French, some words that start with a W in English have a hard "g" in French, such as William/Guillaume; guerre/war, guet/watchman; wasp/guêpe, warden/gardien...
One of my favorite Etsy shops - Wrap and Revel - is having a destash sale. Prices on pretty paper goods have been marked wayyy down. For example: premium wrapping paper that was $15-18 is now $5. Visit: www.etsy.com/shop/WrapAndRevel
Detail of a piece of vintage Christmas wrapping paper I won in an eBay auction for an ephemera lot late last year.
The black background makes the candy "pop".
"I'm gonna wrap myself in paper
I'm gonna daub myself with glue
Stick some stamps on the top of my head
I'm gonna mail myself to you
I'm gonna tie me in a little red string
I'm gonna tie blue ribbons too
Climb up into my mailbox
I'm gonna mail myself to you
When you find me in your mailbox
Cut the string and let me out
Wash the glue off of my fingers
Stick some bubble gum in my mouth
Take me out of my wrapping paper
Wash the stamps off of my head
Pour me full of some ice cream soda
Tuck me into a nice warm bed"

This post came about all because I needed a *box* to mail some very old diaries from a Great Great Aunt up to my sister
in New Hampshire.
When I went searching in the garage, I came across the most wonderfully sturdy container which was perfect for my purpose! Attached to the outside were these fabulous stamps which I couldn't bare to remove, so carefully covered them in cellophane and added another layer of removable stock so my sister could have an added surprise on the outside as well as on the inside!
I especially love that I was able to repurpose the box in such a fun way, and that it had originally come to me from a dear flickr friend!
