POMANDER

I made myself a winter Pomander...

This basically involves buying an orange (preferably thin skinned) and some apple cloves and mixing them together as a scent decoration.

The cool thing is you can make the pomander look like a landmine (pictured), but in my case I stuck some eyes on it and gave it some extra character. The eyes were originally for a Pac-Man ghost custom that is still in Development Hades. I figured that these could have a Halloween Pumpkin appeal, but in a Christmas way.

These take a while to make a scent, but its worth the wait. After the Pomander has run its course, it can be boiled to make a further 'Christmassy' scent.

FALL

So September has begun. Back to school, college and university for some of us and it won’t be long before we swap our beach wear for some arctic attire.

Before we know it, Christmas stuff will be in the shop windows.

Whatever September brings, I hope it will be a good and prosperous month. I hope you guys all “Ave a good-un”.
