Yesterday I was out all day.......Christmas shopping and I am chuffed to say that........apart from a pair of side bent tweezers and two bottles of glitter glue.......Ruby's is finished and just needs wrapping, bagging or boxing.....whichever I decide to do.
I know what Marlowe is having and I have seen other things to go with it to compliment it so as soon as I have replenished the coffers that will be bought and stashed away.
That will be the bulk of spending out of the way and then I just have five more people to buy for.
I have to say that I don't quite have the stamina for it that I used to....it completely shattered me and I am still tired today.........and so.......Andy has cooked the dinner. He and DD had lamb and I had mine meat free as I just wasn't in the mood to be gnawing on a great thick chop which Andy always brings when he goes to the butchers.
I have washed up and am trying to fight off a nanna nap by unboxing my very brand spanking new overlocker and trying to get to grips with the instructions.
Hope you have all had a happy weekend.

Your overlocker will fast become your best friend, I wouldn't be without mine. My Christmas shopping will be minimal as I am making most gifts again this year. Mostly quilts again as everyone seems to love them and can not have too many.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait until I have learned to use it properly. The only overlocking I have ever done was when I worked in a knitwear factory when I was about sixteen and then the machines were threaded and ready to go by the machine team and all I had to do was put my foot on the pedal and go.
DeleteI have one handmade gift to make this year but for next year I will be looking at making more handmade things to give.

You are good and organised with your Christmas shopping. I've only bought a few stocking fillers so far but probably need to start looking into it soon, as I like it all out of the way by the first week in December. I've cut back on a lot of gifts this year so I'm hoping it won't take me long.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your evening. X
I just wanted it out of the way this year Jules. Last year felt and was so disorganised what with Andy's op and recovery.
DeleteI'm cutting back a bit on the adults gifts this time and in fact one of the gifts is going to be handmade.

Good to get the Christmas shopping out the way before the madness begins.x
ReplyDeleteI was surprised at how mad it already was Marlene.

I am in awe of your overlocker but in time...Its such a nice feeling to get Christmas shopping done and dusted I hate having to shop for anything even food at the last minute.
ReplyDeleteYou have done very well, Sheila, beaten me to it by a couple of weeks at least! DD and I are going Chrissie shopping the first week in November. It will be exhausting but, hopefully, rewarding xx
