Good News

Here I am again, really pleased with what I have done so far, will post some pictures as this isn't a secret.  Also have to do two nativity scenes before December 1st and sew the snowmen buttons on a ribbon, that shouldn't take long but there are 24 buttons to sew.  

 Behind the shapes for the Christmas bunting is an Argos catalogue folded into a Christmas tree - well my attempt at it, it was easy to do but took ages folding each page twice, then tucking in the bottoms!!!

The star has a pin in it because it isn't quite finished and I think the parcel needs a bow.  The snowman has a  needle felted nose


The letters will spell out Merry Christmas on both sides.  As I said I am quite pleased with it and my daughter in law likes it.  Not sure quite how I am going to attach it to the ribbon yet but that will come to me as I progress.


Had some more luck after getting the news about my contract, firstly I shouldn't be paying national insurance contributions any more so am going to be just over £100 better off a month,then won the lottery - well £64 anyway.  Thought I would try and spread the luck so bought a very dear friend a scratch card and she won £5.00.  Not to be sneezed at!!!  

The new regime at work is taking time to settle down, so much to do in each twenty minute appointment but getting there.  

Haven't done my nails for a couple of weeks now - cut them short because I think the stress played havoc with them, all splitting and breaking.  Hopefully they will grow now I am feeling a little better.  Ooh forgot had a rotten cough that was tearing my chest apart, that lasted over two weeks so annoying; couldn't sleep for coughing.
