And it will be Christmas Eve... and the boys and I will have made our homemade christmas shaped chocolates, been to the cinema and will be sitting down to 'our' version of a three course meal. Basically all the things we really like. Prawn cocktail, Rack of smoky bbq ribs and an stone baked american cheesecake. The best thing is it takes very little to prepare so we get to spend really good quality time together all day... i am so looking forward to that.
Saturday I went to a Christmas Fayre at the Cathedral, which was located in the cloisters. They are like a walkway round a grass quadrangle... thing is every side looks the same and i couldnt find my way out. I thought i was going to be stuck in the cloisters for ever...
Managed to get the last couple bits i needed from the city and yesterday I finished wrapping everything up. Looks lovely all in red white striped paper and bags. Will look nice under the tree which Im going to do in our red and white theme.
Hope you all have managed to do some of your christmas shopping. Ive had to walk away from the havana cal as the constant same stitch working made my arm ache. Im doing little bits at a time this week but I have to admit its much more complicated than the actual blanket.. hopefully if i persevere it will be worth it but i cant see it being finished this year lol. EEEk just thought.. there are only 4 weeks to the end of 2018. So much has happened in this last year.
I spent some of my 50th birthday money couple weeks ago and bought a food mixer, only a basic one... i think a kitchen aid or a smeg would have been my dream.. but this one will hopefully do what I need it to do.
Today i made a Mary Berry victoria sponge cake. Think i over did it a little but its still very nice.
Before Christmas I'm going to make some coconut ice for client gifts, some chocolate brownies to take carol singing at Felbrigg Hall and gingerbread men (decorated) for christmas morning.
So not much to report on the crochet side of things but still lots going on at this crazy time of year. Remember the important thing is to spend quality time with our family and friend, the amount of money spent on presents doesnt matter. Do things that make you happy and try to stay stress free.
Enjoy your week Roz x
