It has been a running joke in the Whalley household over farts in jars (Clair was in on it too) so for Christmas it was decided that we should hand out festive farts. I created a fart in a jar (needlefelted with wire frame) and Clair wrote a poem:
Searching for the prefect gift for you
Some socks? A tie? They wouldn't do!
Looking in places both near and far
I finally found this fart in a jar
Be sure to keep the lid screwed on tight

First things first I must choose from the menu what I fancy.
