It's the summer holidays!!

I LOVE the summer holidays! Ok, so outside it is actually cold and wet, and it's almost as if OCTOBER has made an early appearance, but heyho!

I love spending time with all my boys together. It takes a few days (a week....maybe 10 days!) for them to settle down, but it's so great. I miss the eldest when he is at school, it seems like the weeks pass in a whirlwind and I barely see him!

My bathroom is still not finished, but we do have a working (and more importantly....not leaking) shower. The floor is being fitted on friday afternoon, so need to get cracking with the painting.


I am now going to use a swear word. Christmas. Yep. I went there. I am making Christmas gift preparations already. I am going to get my little darlings to make some gorgeous tealight holders for everyone (great-grannies, grandpa's girlfriend, grandma (mooms) and auntie) as they went down really well when they made them for teachers. 

I can't remember where I saw them, whether it was somewhere on t'internet, or on a tv programme or something, but anyway, it involves glass jars (I always save mine when they are finished!), pva glue, and tissue paper.


I have already finished the first gift, for one of the great grannies. A Magrathea shawlette (on Ravelry) in some beautiful yarn from The Knitting Goddess.

Now on with the rest of the Christmas list! It will take me a while.....
