DAYS 15,16,17!

Busy busy busy - chasing my own tail at the moment.
Day 15 - Sunday.   I spent the day in the cabin making Christmas cards and planning out the backgammon board flannel!!!     In the evening I made these "labels" for table presents on Christmas day.    I made a whole bundle for our secret santa at work.  Mine is from that although I have to say, I didn't realise how small it was!!!!

Advent pressie is a homemade chutney.   Apple, Sultana and Date.   This will go well with my ham, cold meat and bubble and squeak!!

Oh and I put the tree up!   

DAY 16 - Monday.   Wool arrived for the backgammon flannel.   The first pattern I drew out was 93 sts by 73sts.   A weeny bit too big me thought, so I scaled it down.   It's going to be trial and error I think so best get on with it!   Pic to follow!
I also baked a banana loaf.    The mould kinda spread a bit and Ron said if I baked a few more he could build a wall - thump!!!

It did taste lot better than it looked!
Advent pressie is two stamps.   a hummingbird and a "To/From" stamp.  Very useful!

DAY 17 - Today!   Ron has gone back to work today.  We have had a week off.   I'm going back tomorrow.  Mizzy weather.   I have washed the net curtains in the lounge and dining room.  They are now back up and the rooms are smelling quite nice!
Advent pressie is this - loving it.

Aren't they just the best.    Thank you Tasha.......

Right now I really must get off the computer and do this flannel.    Hopefully I will get it done today, that's always assuming I haven't binned it!

Sorry about the long post but thanks for stopping by anyway.

Day 16 - Cut it out ......

Scissors - Ron thought. Craft knife - Burn thought. Well did I get a surprise. It's friendly plastic and some cutters. I have never had any of this "stuff" before so can't wait to have a go. One of the strips is a bluey lavender colour and the other is a pinky colour. Thanks Lesley

Had a christmas lunch at a Spanish Tapas Restaurant this afternoon. It was really good. Pigged out a bit tho'. Had a little secret santa and this is what I got!

I think it may have been from my crafty colleague Caroline. Just look at that scrummy bright blue Smooch. Fabulous. The chocolate orange should be interesting!

Been up in the cabin tonight doing Emma's albums. One more session me thinks and that will be it. They are coming along great now. Could have done with me new weeny brolly when we came down - it was chucking it down with rain...................

Right that's it for tonight - me tired.

thanks for stopping by.
