Christmas

Christmas so far has been relaxed and full of over indulgence. The boys had a fab Christmas morning to find Santa had come during the night and left them some surprises. The farm for Charlie has yet to be completed but that has not stopped them from loving it and playing with it non stop. Charlie also got a 'Papa' made cooker and it has already found a prized place in his favourite toys!


Andrew loved what he got and when he was telling his Oma and Opa he kept saying to them he got a CD and DVD his girlfriend, who is Hannah Montana. Mind you the best present they both got was from Oma and Opa and it was Aqua Play canal system. We set it up for Christmas and Charlie played with it all afternoon. The little boats were used for transporting the oranges around. I am sure it will be well used and loved especially in the warmer months when they can go out the back more and make more of a mess.


Christmas Creating

I have been so busy with little and not so little Christmas presents and festive surprises. Firstly I have been making a farm for Charlie. It is sewn, looped and knitted onto rug backing. It is taking me a long time to make it as the looping seems to take forever and then I had to take a break as I hurt my wrist! I really hope it it all finished before Christmas morning! Here is a photo to see my progress.


You know what? I think I am addicted to making things. Not happy being busy with the farm creating I had to go and make my darling husband a pair of Santa slippers (pattern here) and this was because he came home from work to tell me he didnt feel 'christmasy' yet. Then the next day to help his christmas feeling I made him some fresh mince pies!
