We made it through the last week of school. It was long and hard; many concert rehearsals and concerts and children who were not in the least bit interested in learning anything ! I let out a big sigh of relief when the bell rang !
Stockings were delivered so I was able to check that off. Someone wanted seven stockings before Christmas...err. that didn't happen. However in my spare time I have been knitting up a few more currently on my twelfth so I will have a stash for future orders.
While I really did nothing on the weekend, being extremely lazy, I am now gearing up. Yesterday I spent the day with ED. We shopped , went for lunch and picked up the wine for Christmas. It was lovely ! Today we'll go grocery shopping and pick up a couple of pairs of pyjamas. I want to have a pair for YGS as his cousins always get new pjs for Christmas Eve.He can open his with them ! His other grandparents are coming for the evening. YGS is so excited because his whole family will be there.[ He never, ever mentions his mother]
We stopped yesterday at Value Village and picked up games and jigsaw puzzles. I also found some material to make an apron for ES and YGS. YGS baked with ED on the weekend and had to have an apron which of course was way too big. This material is quite appropriate as it has veggies and garden tools on it. I have two days to get them sewn.
We went to a Liquidation Superstore and I bought ED two [cheap] area rugs for her living room and dining room. She in turn had bought me 4 tops I spied at Value Village. We promised to be excited when we opened our 'gifts' . Gift cards were bought- nice and easy to wrap ! LOL
Today sometime I will start to do a little baking. Shortbread, bridesmaids[ Bakewell tarts] and maybe a square or two. A friend of ED loves Bakewell tarts so I will try to get them done in time for delivery before Christmas ! GD loves Shepherd's pie so I will make one for Christmas Eve. I doubt that they will eat very much, but it is something that only I can make !!!
Now to remember where I have hidden all the little gifts and to wrap the others !
