SNOW!!!

Today it is trying VERY hard to snow - it's very pretty but not settling yet - I hope it does but I also hope it doesn't!

SNOW!! Yay!! for kids and playing!

BOO! for work and driving!

Bored!

I am sat at home bored because middle child managed to get her self diagnosed with either a chest infection or swine flu. This means we basically have been stuck at home for the last week. It is very frustrating as she really doesn't have it. She is currently running around playing with her brother.

The most frustrating thing is if I don't go to work I DON'T get paid.

I have no inclination to bake or sew and I am not supposed to take her out. It's not fair! There is only so much house work you can do!!

Nevermind, back to the housework!

Secret Santa

So this is the panel for my secret Santa gift for a lovely young lady at work. It was a really enjoyable little project and I had a lot of fun making in, starting from the back of the picture and working forward! Using both my hand turned Singer and sewing by hand, trying to embroider and adding beads for details. I almost don't want to part with it!!

The bag is now put together - It's a very summery bag but never mind!

And if she doesn't like it, it can always come home with me!!

And so to make my little token gifts I have planned for the grownups! Kids get presents!! Adults get token presents!

Onwards!
