Sigh. This is a busy time of year for me. I can barely remember what it was like to have spare time to think about the garden... I still don't have time to write much, but I hope to get back to it in a few weeks when work isn't so hectic.
In the meantime, here's a Christmas ornament I made over the week-end. I got the idea from my Mom's Harrowsmith magazine, and I think these are lovely! They're simply lamb's ears (the plant! ha ha) glued onto a styrofoam ball. I wish I had more plants to harvest more leaves from - I only had enough to make 2 balls, and since my kids insisted on "helping", I only ended up with one nice one (or maybe I should say adult-quality). Wouldn't a bunch of these look nice in a bowl, maybe with some berries or red twigs?
... and update: here it is in a place of honour on my mantle.
That ornament is adorable! My toddler - and cats! - would adore it :)

Thanks! And yes, they are fuzzy and fun to touch. Thats why I grow the plant in the first place!
Cheers,
Janice
