Came home tonight to find a reindeer waiting for me on the doorstep. He was adorning a gift from my Bloggers Secret Santa partner, who hadn’t been able to make it to the party on Saturday because she was sick, so she got her husband to drop the parcel off today. Inside were two books…
The Christchurch Bloggers Christmas party was tonight, which means I can finally show you the project I was working on when I attempted to cut my finger off: Such a simple little bag, you wouldn’t think it could have caused so much trouble, would you? The recipient was really pleased with it anyway, and with…
ell, I managed to get through yesterday and even made it to the party in the evening (which was a lot of fun – it featured giant jenga on the lawn, and a poetry recitation by the boss), but I’m paying for it today – I don’t feel all that unwell, but I’m exhausted, in…
Phase 2 complete: (Photos taken by Lucy-Jane) Yes, the lights do flash on and off.
here’s a competition going on along our corridor to decorate your office door for Christmas. So our team have decided to go all-out to try and beat the College Office staff. Phase one of our plan was Lucy-Jane zipping down to Lincraft at lunchtime yesterday to buy a length of calico and some dark green…
Binding complete, so I can tick that one off the Secret Santa list. (Sorry for the rubbish photo – it’s pouring with rain, so the light is terrible, but I wanted to get a photo before I wrapped it up). I’m so pleased with how it turned out! I’m feeling all inspired to try so…

I *almost* got the corners to line up properly! One side is a tiny bit off, but not really enough to be seriously noticeable, so I’m pretty pleased with it. Of course, now that I’ve got that particular obstacle out of the way, I reach the even bigger one: it’s time to quilt it. Dare…
It’s Secret Santa season, and I’m determined not to resort to junk from the Warehouse to fulfill the under-$10 requirement for any of them. Which means I’ve got a lot of crafting deadlines in my near future. But I’m making good progress. I’m almost finished making my gift for the Christchurch Bloggers Secret Santa, and…
ctually, it’s suprisingly unpainful – except of course at those moments when I bump it against something, which happens every time I forget that I’ve got a giant sausage of bandage on my finger, making it twice the size it normally is and therefore needs a lot more clearance room than normal… I am discovering,…
