Starting to panic

I get lots of requests for heart-shaped beads but I have to be in the right mood to make focal beads. I was when I made these. I'm particularly fond of the black one.

I went to see Robyn's Nativity play today. Kid's costumes have come a long way since I was at school. The donkey was wearing a proper Donkey from Shrek suit and the sheep were sporting actual full-on sheep costumes. The angels were so pretty. When I was an angel in the school play I just wore a converted bed sheet and a loop of tinsel on my head. These ones had lovely white and gold dresses. Robyn was the star - she had a sparkly dress and a big gold star on a headband. All the children looked slightly bemused and startled at the amount of grown-ups that were crowding their playschool. Halfway through one of the sheep announced that she was 'going to see my Mummy' and she wandered off the stage!

I've really got to get my arse in gear as far as Christmas is concerned. So far I have the following :

1 x Chocolate Orange
1 x Bag of Chocolate Coins
1 x Frozen Turkey
1 x Jar of Goose Fat
1 x Packet of Paxo Stuffing

That's it. No presents. I am seriously starting to panic now. I've got some ideas for people - just got to actually physically make the purchases.

I have just finished putting the tree up and the cat is wandering around with his annual why-the-heck-have-you-put-a-tree-in-the-lounge face on.

Christmas. Why? Why? Why?

  2. Ha ha, finally someone I can feel superior to because I'm actually more ready for Christmas than you! I'm sick of all these people who had it done and dusted three weeks ago - I'm sure they lie!

  5. Thanks Janine!

    Well, the black and white hearts were so popular last night I've made another two. The white one is almost identical to last night's but the black one is slightly smaller and the vines are in a slightly different arrangement.

    They'll be on the site later.
