Unseasonably warm weather this week - 18C yesterday.
My new made up soup - butternut squash, onions, carrots, ginger and stock. Yum.
A family visit to see this eagerly anticipated sequel at the cinema.
An impromptu dinner with good friends tonight.
Sewing Christmas stockings.
Neighbourhood craft night. These were so easy to do. I feel a tutorial coming on.
I'm having a hard time justifying my blahs this week.
Was the movie good? My kids are hanging out to see it, no release here until early Dec.

Your stockings are gorgeous! I have just been playing with red and linen but I don't think mine looks as good as yours!!! Lucy x

My goodness, your Christmas stockings are EXACTLY like the ones I have been dreaming to make. Did you follow a pattern or did you make it up your self. How much do I need to pay to get a full shot of a stocking to run to the fabric store and buy similar materials??

All scrumptious. Have you any idea how much I wish I could come to your neighbourhood craft night?!

I was thinking of making new stockings this year since I found this ribbon I have been searching for...please a tutorial?

What beautiful stockings! I wouldn't even mind finding it empty on Christmas morning if I had a stocking like that (I'm still trying to work out what I did that was SO naughty that Father Christmas stopped coming when I was 11...)
