So an unscheduled day off for me; with boy-child for company. Fortunately his feeling sick did not amount to anything. So we watched The Hobbit, well it was on; I slowly stitched away, until I was done. I also managed to put together a couple of key fobs on top of yesterday's starts, and I have just finished the final non-family present, but that missed out on the photos today.
So here's what we'll be giving...
Reindeer brooches for one of the Rainbow's leaders, (aka Reindeer) and the other for the Cubs leader...
I used a template from the Plush Addict bunting, and the girls chose the heart; sleepy eyes copied from the Mollie Makes foxy brooches.
Key fobs for the two Young Leaders at Rainbows...
Quick and easy with ribbon, the YLs go by the names Ladybird and Butterfly, so it seemed apt.
Covered notebooks for the Teachers and TAs, and one of the Robot ones for my Dad's birthday...
And a retirement gift for the Headteacher...
My original plan was for a laminated cushion, to keep his butt dry when he was out and about doing the artist stuff he is planning on filling his time with. The laminate was basically pants; the corners started to crack and split no sooner than I had turned the cover through; trust me, the swearing and stamping of feet closely followed. Hey ho, live and learn... not to use that again! So a covered sketchbook will have to do.
And finally I stitched closed the 2 Valori Wells/AMH voile infinity scarves, one for me, and one, well, come back Monday.
So how's that for productivity in the face of adversity. Typically, the MacBook is working absolutely fine again, whilst I don't have the energy left to look at anything more today. So love you and leave you, with a less anxious look on my face, but hoping the lingering ickiness goes on its merry way really soon, I still have loads to do!
