This week...

.......I started my Christmas making.

Nothing big, just gift tags using these paper tapes - a nice little project 

to get our festive making underway. I'll show you the gift tags

next time.

.......the yarn I ordered came through the post and they're as

lovely as I'd expected.

I'll be using these to make a present for my mother-in-law.

I can't wait to get started!



......I bought a new crochet book.

I don't think I need another craft book but this has pretty
and useful projects that I'm interested in making (the pot holders
and table runners are my favourites) and it's only £3.99. It was a good
bargain and I couldn't resist.



......we made orange and almond cake.

It's been a long time since we've made this cake and yesterday
we were reminded by how simple it is to make and how delicious
it tastes. We'll be baking this again soon.



.......we've all felt a bit unwell.

Markie was the first one to get sick and had to miss three days of
 school. Thankfully she's well again and went back to school yesterday.
The rest of us are still not a hundred percent well but we're getting
better everyday and hopefully by the end of this week we'd be rid of
all these nasty germs and bugs.



So that's a bit of our week so far. Hope yours is going well and
you're all keeping warm and healthy. See you soon!
