MOTH emerged briefly from his miserable Christmas funk last night when I reminded him that very soon it will be his favourite night of the year (thanks Jac!). The night when he can combine 2 of his most loved chores - 'innovative' Chrissie wrapping & the 2010 Victoria's Secret Fashion show. If you missed his How-To tutorial from last year, do take a look here.
He's still waiting for the call to come from Martha - he reckons it will still happen, it's just that she's coming to terms with the fact that he's better than her. He remarked that the ideal time for him to make a guest appearance would be when we're in New York next May. Oh & wouldn't the taping of that show be a sell-out!!
Mr. Home and I are eagerly awaiting MOTH'S tutorial 2010 !!!! It is especially helpful to Mr. Home as, after many drunken Christmas Eve firms 'do's', my present was bought (in a drunken stupor after said firm's 'do'),and was nearly always a set of red and black suspenders !!!!, wrapped, Christmas cracker style and ends secured by robin redbreast/holly sellotape !!!!!!!!!!.....'nuff said. .....plus, Mr. Home is an avid Victoria's Secret supporter or any other store that sells similar items !! We are both so excited as to what MOTH has in store this year. XXXX
Oh Millie, MOTH'S talents and interests run so deep.My husband wouldn't be interested in wrapping (unless he was wrapping a new bicycle) or the Angels (unless they were riding a bicycle). You are a blessed woman!! Remember us all when Martha schedules that show, your lovely readers want first dibs on tickets to watch MOTH in action.
Sending you both heaps of holiday cheer Ms. Millie. xx xx
I just read Moth's instructions from last year to my husband..very funny! I watch the VS show sometimes with Sean so I can hear him say, "but darling, you're so much better looking than them"..it's so funny that he earnestly tries to convince me that he really thinks that! He's a nice husband..Rachaelxx
Life in the little village of Stirling in the hills above Adelaide in South Australia is just about as good as it gets! Enjoying a cool climate and 'hill-station' feel, Stirling is well-known for its 19th-century stone villas set on large grounds dense with roses, camellias, rhododendrons and huge old Oaks.
With 3 sons, 3 grandchildren & my work in a scientific business dominated by yes, more men, The Laurel Hedge was born out of my sheer desperation for something the boys just don't get & never will!
Quote This!
'No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it all too seriously.'
15 years of renovating was over - we'd just completed everything & were really enjoying our lovely old Victorian villa in the Eastern suburbs of Adelaide. However we'd always had a fondness for the country life & without warning we found ourselves transported by alien beings disguised as Real Estate Agents to a house on 1/2 acre of wild, rambling gardens in Stirling!
The house is circa 1972 & with all the 70's features. Open-faced brown brick walls, raked ceilings, exposed beams, split levels - totally yuk! However, it's inherent design is great & the location amazing - tucked behind a wonderful old laurel hedge in a quiet country lane in the heart of gorgeous Stirling.
looks girls looks scary to me! hope you hear from Martha Moth!

You two should have one of your own.
Now, will MOTH guest star on the show before or after you pop in to visit me?!!!!
