Today was going so well; penultimate day at work, and home to finish another Christmas present before the school run...
I used Kerry's super tute from the Sizzix Christmas blog hop, and the bundle of fabric from Pin It and Stitch which one little girl had adopted the minute she saw the mice!
Thanks ladies, you are going to ensure a very smiley girl on Christmas morning!
And the not-so-ho?
Our last Tesco delivery before Christmas, (hauling a heavy trolley round the aisles is still not my idea of fun or comfort), and guess what, no freaking turkey crown! No apologies, just a line of the delivery note, along with the short-life coleslaw and replacement grapes.
One poor lad on the customer service helpline got my wrath; I did warn him in advance, I am fair like that. We got a without prejudice payment of £20 for the aggro - not enough I reckon.
But be warned; I pretty much demanded that one be waiting for me tomorrow at the Xtra store near work, in fact, whilst on hold I was able to set up a 'click & collect' order for what I wanted - but when the guy rang the store, they informed him there would be none in stock until Wednesday!
Sheesh, I went to the Metro in the next village after tea and got one, smaller than I had hoped for, but safely in the freezer now, so only the fresh bread and veggies to get next week now.
I have never been so prepared, but with all the health issues and rather a lot of stitching miles to cram into the next week, I am leaving nothing to chance, and do not intend to leave the village after I get back from work tomorrow until after the big day.
So please do not rely on anyone but yourselves, especially Tesco - yes Tesco, I am going to warn my friends about your greed and total disregard for your customers; I had almost forgiven you for substituting the nappies we ordered for nappy sacks, all hose years ago!

Good Will Bunting!
Well I was going to post this sooner, but I didn't want to be online too long over the last couple of evenings. So anyhoo, to make the most of the rain on Sunday, I finally unpacked my sewing machine and got making, and it counts as decorating too!!
OK, so I know I am behind the times, and probably the last person in the world to make bunting, so I will just post the pictures and you can skip through to the finished result...
The flash makes the girl's room look a little more stark than it really is - I have deliberately cropped off the messy, toy-strewn beds and floor!
Most of the hearts cover the mess left behind from shelves and things, which we will get round to sorting eventually, but for now, we have two happy girls, and a happy mummy x.
