So what do you do when cards need posting, presents need wrapping and food needs buying?
well first you repurpose an old hand embroidered table cloth into a new apron, make sure to spend plenty of time rummaging around for the old flannelette sheet to back it with.
Such lovely handiwork I wonder who made it? I shall enjoy wearing it. Then of course you need to make a little Christmas patchwork mat for the table, to make the sewing room more welcoming to guests over Christmas
hummm what else to prevaricate a little longer? No ideas....better wrap some presents. I settled down with The Holiday, some wrapping paper, ribbon and of course a glass of wine. What a sweet film, very schmaltzy but sweet.
And when you are on the phone and your daughter comes in trying to tell you something do not wave her away, as she might be trying to tell you something important.........
and indeed there was!!
Can I just add that it was the dog that had a wee!
