Plum Pudding and Xmas shopping.

I have finally started a granny stripe blanket. For some silly reason I decided to just jump right in and do a double bed size. I'm a bit stupid sometimes I think. But never mind!
So far it's taking me about 2 episodes of Octonaughts a row. Which is about 45 mins a stripe. Not bad considering there are 240 triples in every row (480 a stripe!!!)


I am loving it though and have already got my next ones planned :D

I got paid today so xmas shopping it was! Wrapped Sea Monkey's presents the other night and the pile was pathetic looking. Yeah, she has a new wooden kitchen (Half price! Bargain!) and that darned ChiccoBella doll, or whatever he's called (£2 from a caarboot sale because a few bits were missing, which the company then replaced for £3 postage! £5 for a doll worth about £40! Score) but the rest of it seemed to be all stocking filler types. Books, bracelets, a couple of DVDs. Have spent since then panicking about Xmas day. So today I managed to spoil her a little more. She's got a nice little stack of things to open now, including some wooden biscuits and a wooden baking set, a couple of Octonaughts books (Her latest 'thing') and... A kiddies knitting set! SQUEEE! So cute!
Manshape also got paid this week so bought her the Flynn and Rapunzel dolls from Disney store.
Also nabbed some Snowfairy from Lush (Tis the only shower gel I use, I stock up at xmas so it lasts all year lol!) and some yarn so it looks like Santa left things for mummy too :D

Need an on-time bed time tonight so I can get on with taking up the bottoms of her Xmas Eve PJs (CUTE!), making some magic reindeer food (Oats and glitter ;) ) and hopefully HOPEFULLY making her a little dolly baby carrier. Need to see if I still have the black polycotton and the black dino fabric left upstairs :S Need xmas eve reserved for wrapping last minute bits and building the kitchen. Not looking forward to it. My friend is the QUEEN of flatpacks and said she swore at it lots. EEP!


Anyway, I must away and get Sea Monkey ready for bed. I probably won't post again before Xmas now, so MERRY CHRISTMAS / HAPPY HOLIDAYS to my readers :)
