So are the weeks whizzing by for you too?
I can barely believe we are already into the first week of December. For me, it feels as if I am on some fast track rollercoaster hurtling along at full pelt to destination - the 25th. Disorganized is the word I am looking for here. Big time disorganized. The decorating is coming along nicely but that is only because hubby went out and got the tree and my eldest daughter at the merry age of 10 pretty much decorated the house for me. Yes, you did read that right. And might I say, she did a brilliant job of it too, so it would have been rude of me not to put her skills to a good use, wouldn't it?
So now, I would like to put out a question to all of you, would it be bad of me to burst her Santa and Rudolph anticipating bubble forever and tell her the truth?????? You know, about Mr Santa??? I think at age 10 she is too long in the tooth to be believing that some man in a red suit pops by each 24th for every child in the world (come on, how believable does it sound anyhow?). The main reason in my bubble bursting truth telling urges lie in the fact that she asks too many questions like why Santa has the same wrapping paper as us? why his writing is the same as mine ( even though I work hard to disguise it..). I have this feeling that deep down she knows, so I feel a bit stupid every time I come up with yet another unbelievable cover up lie. What do you think? Is 10 too young? (or even too old?).
I'd love to know your thoughts???
Meanwhile, my one festive contribution so far - a quilted patchwork tablecloth for a little table in our bedroom.................it's a start.
A bit simple maybe?
I love all these prints, put together they look pretty festive but not one of them is actually a holiday print, I never seem to be able to find holiday prints I like and I think that might be because they all scream Christmas and I want prints that whisper Christmas..............do you know what I mean???
As if by magic, just because I was talking about Santa, a post lady came to the door and delivered me a little Monday goodness from a one of Santa's little helpers I'm sure aka miss Angela/Raggedy owl. Sent for no other reason other than she is well and truly awesome, what a super kind hearted sweetiecake she is, (she has a sale on in her super cute shop too). I just love the prettiest little washcloth, the cutesome little mug rug and the hedgie bookmark, definitely all objects for my kind of lifestyle! Aren't these enough to put a little merry festiveness spark into the scroogiest of moods?
Now exuse me whilst I make a mug for my rug and get stitching.
See you tommorow!!!!
