Good Morning All

Okay gone and ruined it but we are over half way through the year and only 143 days to go. Now who is ready? I am almost there just a few more gifts to make, so much for getting them all done by the end of March, hmpff!

Taking ourselves out for coffee this morning as want a browse round country market, since it burned to the ground, now reopened and have to have a snoop, then back for more stitching.

Have a good day

At work today. Back to the grindstone for 3 days.... tempted to make it 2 1/2! Need to pop out at lunchtime in search of a frame, a wooden spoon and some wrapping paper. What a fun trip I have planned!

I do hope you are not going to be stiring up trouble?

Christmas - getting there, by the end of August we like to have all/most Christmas stock made - always difficult estimating how much we will need.

Far too busy preparing to move house to think about Christmas yet, maybe next week I'll start to think about it.

bit of mum taxi for me and then the final day of decorating before the vinyl is fitted tomorrow and Wednesday.
Last tasks:
Touch up the kitchen ceiling
decorate the bathroom (not in the original plans but a special offer on paint (one tin for twenty four pounds or three for thirty pounds swung the decission) and hopefully there will be an off cut of vinyl from downstairs to do the floor as well.
Paint the blackboard onto the wall.
Move furniture
take the rubbish to the tip
This list is very long!!

Thanks for the reminder. Life is racing by too fast to even think about Christmas, I'm still chillin' on my two weeks off work!

Christmas indeed. I am already having nightmares about it. I have to go to the garage that is kindly giving my dead car funeral space to take pics of it for Ebay. Hopefully someone will want it for spares. Its only the engine that has died. Surely someone will want a car without an engine. I had contemplated cutting holes in the floor so they could 'scoot' it along. Maybe I could use that as a sales gimick. lol. Wish me luck.
Lots of intricate cutting out on Heat and Bond and then on fabric today as have an idea for No.1 sons birthday prezzie and as its the 12th I had better get the proverbial finger out. Still, my day looks less stressful than some of yours. Good luck BBD. Hope you achieve it all.
Have a good day everyone.

Oh pleeeeezzzzeeee bad enough that we booked some christmas fairs for this year at the end of last. Yes we have planned product for christmas, getting it made is another thing though. Pete keeps trying to build up stocks of pocket money items but they keep selling LOL I am doing my usual lists though. As for presents we have talked about having to get going when we are at events to see if there is anything nice for people. Do like to buy handmade where possible.

Been working for 13 days without a break so having some down time today and just doing the essentials like washing, ironing and getting my car tax renewed.

Have a good day everyone.

Just finished taking pictures for a catalogue of our christmas wreaths and decorations. We are putting them on the ipad as a slideshow which we will then put on the stand when we are out and about. Ipad will be securely chained to our gridwall displays with a mini alarm on it as well as security.

Now just got to start making the stock so as to avoid the late rush between events later in the year!

Thats optomistic of you David. No matter how hard I plan and work I always end up with some sort of panic as we get closer to the festive season. lol.
