So I got quite a lot done but then had an early night because I had a stinky headache and stiff neck. I'm off to hear Dorothy singing carols in the local town at lunchtime and haven't done any sewing yet so I need to get on with it! At least the end of the orders is in sight and as for Christmas presents - well at least there is another two weeks until they need to be finished. (Isn't there?)

By the way, I have a little list and at the moment it has all the days of the week on a separate page in a a5 notebook upto Christmas Eve and each time I think of something I must do I choose a day to put in on my list! Thought I would share that with you. I also have in my book an ongoing shopping list (food) and a menu list for the weekend when the outlaws are coming!! Must run in the family.

Enjoy Dorothy's carol singing and give her a big hug from me.

It's obvious that your superior planning skills are genetic judging by your sister's comment!!
Looks like you are doing great to me - your dolly is lovely and her clothes are so beautiful!!
Enjoy the carol singing and hope Fred gets on ok :)
Minx is fed now and may even let me have 5 minutes peace - yeh, right!!

You must be the busiest mummy in the UK. I still haven't made a list but then again with no kiddies at home, it is a bit easier. I think your kiddos are so cute... but then again, so are you. Have you ever posted a pic of the archaelogist?? Fred is darn adorable... makes me melt. And that cute name... Fred!
Hmmmmmmm... prawn and mayo sandwich?? How do you make that?? Like a shrimp salad... I wonder??
Sounds tasty!
I can't wait to order my Princess and the Pea after the holidays and the kids are back in school.
Christmas hugs,
Joni

I think you need another cup of tea!! I don't actually have a list yet, but my room looks like a tornado has hit. I am still working right up to Friday. I am getting so excited about staying home in the holidays and playing in my sewing room.

Wow! OK, I am seriously impressed.

Hope that your neck is feeling better and not turning into anything nasty - we were all felled this week with a lovely virus that started as achy and ended up with 101 degree fevers and hacking coughs. Yuk.

Hope you enjoy the carols!

I'm a tad concerned that you and Lesly are going to work yourselves into the ground before the big day. I think you both need to step away from the jobs and the lists.

Step closer to the wine / tea / chocolates / cakes / sweets / whatever floats your boat and spend AT LEAST an hour indulging.

ps. Note the vice I listed first. Mmm, interesting.

pps. Cute Rosy dollie last post :)

Love your lists. I'm learning to let go of mine as they just seem to get longer and longer!! The little elephant applique/embroidery is very cute indeed.

Jodie said...

ummm...Dear Ms locket I do believe you are suffering from some time lapse type Dr Who time travel thingo ...(very technical term I know). You may need to consult a specialist to ensure you understand there are not in fact TWO weeks left until Christmas. In my time zone there is less than one.
