22 sleeps
No pressure then!!

Hi Everybody
Well, I am sitting
here with a cup of tea and a choccy biscuit so, I guess, you had better do
the same - not sure how much rambling I am going to be able to do!!
How sad is it that
we are already onto the final few weeks of countdown to Christmas? And
how many of you ar ready for it? 'Cos I know that I am not anywhere
near ready!!
But, I will tell
you something that will surprise you all (so I hope you are sitting down!!) I
had a week off!! A holiday, a break!! Did not do much just
cleaned the kitchen, sorted out some cupboards and had some fun.
We had a day out to met Helen and Jet at the Bristol Aquarium, it
was brilliant. So lovely to see them.
And the we had a house full of dogs - couldn't say that
was brilliant. Manic - yes, brilliant? probably not! But it was
fun. Honey (Mum of Buzz & Kite) came to stay with Poppy (Kites
Sister). So we had Kip (miserable old boy), Bridie (on speed!), Honey
(4 years old but still feeling like a puppy), Buzz (15 months old and still
considers himself a puppy), Kite and Poppy (14 weeks old and definitely puppies!!). Oh, boy! Feeding time was fun!
This picture shows Honey being ambushed by her three hooligan
children!! I tried taking lots of pictures, but they kept moving before
the camera clicked!!
So, anyway
- I have come back this week for a well earned rest, yes I know I am
supposed to GO for a rest not come back for a rest!! Ho hum. And
we are into December, countdown to that most manic time of the year which
will leave us exhausted and wondering what all the fuss was about!!
How miserable and
cynical that sounded!! Ba, humbug! Sorry.
But we have got
some things happening to take us up to that magical time!
Tomorrow is
Knit'n'Natter day - 10 'til 4 in the Bead'n'Bits shop. Come for a short
time, come for all day - it is up to you! It does not cost anything,
but we do ask for donations to our chosen charity for the teas &
biscuits!!
And then, in the
afternoon, it is Promarker Club. 2 'til 4 (or there abouts) - the last
one before the end of the year, how sad is that. Not sure what Nicky
has up her sleeve, but she doesn't usually let you down!!
Saturday, the 10th
will be the last Jo Sonja's of the year (sob!), so if you have in mind to do
the napkin art on any Christmas pressies, this will be your last opportunity.
If you have
youngsters that fancy having a go at a bit of crafting, the 19th is the day
for you. We will be helping them to make some lush Chrissy pressies
perfect for Mum or Dad, Nan or Grandad. It will be for 7 years upwards
and there will be two tables (Gift for Her and Gift for Him) and it will cost
£7.50 per gift, each gift taking around an hour!!! Please book your
youngster in as places will be limited.
I tell you what, I
should be the size of a house (not comments!), I am eating choccy biscuits
like fury while typing this!!
The 19th will be
the last of our workshops for this year, but I have something for you
all to ponder.
On the Thursday,
between Christmas and New Year, would any of you fancy a quick
get-away?
The idea is that
we will have the tables out in the shop and you can bring your crafting stuff
- especially if you got some new gear for Christmas and need some inspiration
with it. It will be a turkey & pudding free zone! Not a
Christmas cracker in sight!
Nicky will be here
to help if you have received some stamps & are not sure what to do
with them. Catherine will be here to help kick start the
scrap-booking. Ruth & I will be here with the answer to Jewellery
& Knitting.
If you think it
would be a good idea, please let me know and I will continue with the
arrangements. I will be looking to have it running from 11 'til 3pm
and, of course, you will probably get permission to leave the house so that
hubby can veg in front of the tv & have a good snore!!
Well, I have run
out of choccy biscuits so I am going to call it a day there.
Only to add that
we have a load of new beads in the shop.
Watch out for
changes to the demo area - we can feel a make-over coming up. And the
new workshop brochure should be out very soon, with some exciting news about
additional classes.
We will see you
tomorrow at the Knit'n'Natter
With best regards
Lynn and the
Girls. xx
