Finally - time to stop and blog

I'm determined to do nothing else for 2 hours - until the Turkey is cooked whereupon I will be baking two cakes - one for the kids as the Christmas cake I've made has far too much brandy in it for them - and one for the in-laws hamper that we are creating.

It has been total chaos the last week or two. What with Alex getting himself excluded three times !!! and knitting those little mice for people at work - I have made 16 of them in total.



My yarn from Allison arrive wrapped in a lovely sheet of printed tissue paper. The yarn is so beautiful - I really think that Posh Yarns would struggle to better this. I'll be keeping an eye on your Folksy shop Allison :)

And my secret santa box arrived and I managed about 30 minutes before I gave up and opened it. Oh so wonderful - each item unwrapped from bright orange tissue (I've kept it) brought yet another squeal of excitement from me. I love it all, and I am so impressed with the bead work - I especially love the little angel - I need one of them at the moment and she is perfect.



The cloth teddy pattern has given me loads of ideas for crafty makes to sell at work. I've had to drop my hours to 20 per week because of Alex and his problems so I'm going to need a source of secondary income to keep me in yarn. :)

It's Christmas Eve - I hope you all have a very wonderful and fun packed Christmas. Best wishes for the New Year - onwards and upwards Ladies - I feel very privileged to know you all - a wonderful bunch of knitterly sisters.
