13♥ days to 2012

I'm still in recovery mode after the weekend so I am fully embracing the fact that the house is quiet and empty apart from Giddy Dog and the kits.  Mind you the kits more than make up for the boys being at school - they are just as bad as the boys at leaving their toys all over the place. I will, over the course of a day, have to pick up cushions and blankets, rescue toppled over pots of pens and paintbrushes and rehang the ornaments on the tree....


Any hoo - enough waffle -


today's number is 13♥, not one of my favourite numbers - 13. As a teenager I was incredibly superstitious and would go to great lengths to avoid saying, thinking or seeing the number. Made maths a bit tricky (Mind you maths was a bit tricky for me any way!)

The kits are galloping up and down on their dainty elephant-sized feet and the washing machine has become silent....better get on, got work to get ready for and I am still trying to finish my crochet pressies - the deadline draws closer and I keep kidding myself that starting another woolly based handmade gift is a good idea....I start off in good time and as chrimbly-pressie-swap-day gets closer, my crafting becomes more frantic and instead of going with the flow and finishing them off in good time, I hastily start the next one as I convince myself that weaving in ALL the ends and stitching on ALL the buttons and sewing on ALL the labels is a good idea if only I would actually get on with it and do it!!

And the hardest thing of all? Not sharing the pictures with you, oh well, will have to have a show and tell after everyone has opened their pressies :)

A Happy Monday to you all!
