What Christmassy thing have you done today?

[Rags]

Oh I love the brussel sprout crisps- in small amounts anyway!!

Today I ordered straighteners as a shared gift for my nieces and a game - stinky pig - for Ds and his friend.

I almost ordered 'just dance 2020' for my nieces, got all the way through to the PayPal payment confirmation before the delivery price came up - £23!!!!!! I quickly cancelled that, I'll look in argos or game.

Wow that's an insane charge for delivery!

 

[motherofboys]

That's crazy!

Technically last night, but I've finally finished sewing the baby's advent calendar and have stitched in all the lights. Took AGES as it is massive - about 1m long.

The idea is to hang on one little ornament a day until Christmas!

Unfortunately I feel like it is nicer/better than the one I made for her big sister two years ago ... oops ... but the more embroidery you do, the better you get.

Now I have to make her stocking!

 

[motherofboys]

That's amazing! I'm always so jealous of my creative friends talents. I can cross stitch, sew a button, and I can knit a scarf and that's about it.

Thank you very much! I have absolutely no chance of knitting a thing and find it so confusing - it's quite a talent!

P.S. I stitched it from a pattern so totally not my own design lol.

 

[motherofboys]

It's still impressive

 

[Bevziibubble]

That looks amazing Meep!

I was relieved this morning to get a PayPal email confirming the cancellation of the transaction - I was worried it had gone through!!

Meep, those are beautiful and such a wonderful gift for life, your elder daughter will never think the new one is better, her's will always be her own special one and she'll love the differences

 

[Bevziibubble]

That's a relief!

Ah, thanks. This is what I am hoping. I will try to post a picture of hers later when I have got it out of the loft!!

I hope they will always like and want them as they have been a huge labour of love lol - maybe pass them on to their own kids? Can't wait to have grandchildren so I can make them some stockings of their own!

 

[_Meep_]

Here it is! I'd actually forgotten how cute it is. I think she will still like it.

 

[Bevziibubble]

Aww that's lovely
