Sometimes the last presents prove to be the most difficult or time consuming. i know exactly what i want to get but finding this item is proving to be a little difficult so we have changed plans and gone to plan b!
Still looking for cranberries and chestnuts although I have been informed that it should not be too difficult. The places i tried are very small and only stock limited items so that might not have been the best choice however tonight we have my favourite supermarket to visit in Hawthorn. This place has everything including the kitchen sink.
Our little petal was sick last night, amazing how children only vomit when things are dark and quiet. We have told her about the buggies in her tummy and she is refusing to limit her food intake. She absolutely loves her food and has been enjoying all the lovely delights of summer and our garden and now I have to stop this for a bit and give her plain bland food. There has been tears, threats of dying from starvation and lots of crying and complaining that she is VERY hungry. I am not surprised given that her stomach was emptied completely. We are hoping to get her back on top of things for Christmas and in the meantime all holding our breath to see if our hurricane gets it as well. So i am off to do washing whilst there is no rain and a bit of sun. The out for a bit of gardening.
Have a lovely sunny day.

Nearly Christmas
Goodness not many days left till Christmas. I have one more present to get, a couple to make and I am done. Except for the food which I am working on. The turkey I am going up the street to attempt to get now. The cranberries and the chestnuts well goodness knows where I get them? The seafood is being bought tomorrow morning at the Market and the veggies are being collected at the Farmers Market (twilight ones). I am hoping to get the BEST EGGS in the world and garlic at the farmers market!!!!
Oh you missed my birthday, it was nice, I had some lovely friends come the following weekend and that felt more like my birthday than the day which was hmmmm......... I think the less said the better.
We have been busy in the garden again, I have been chipping away each day and all I could see was the mountain that was not getting any smaller until my dear dear friend pointed out that I need to stop and look at what I/we have done. When I did that I managed to smile, there are lovely pockets of garden looking beautiful especially with all the rain that we have had. The lush plant life is there making the garden beds look quite full and beautiful. They are flowering and now that a lot of the weeds have been removed you can see how much they have grown and how lovely some of the plants really are we make wonderful discoveries. The water feature is flowing and makes the whole effect quite peaceful. I love pointing out the new fruit on the blueberries, the strawberries and the apple trees. Quite amazing to see what is happening in the garden now and we are all enjoying it a bit more.
Painting has come to a grinding halt I had better get to the paint shop very soon before they close for Christmas and get the paint needed to finish the jobs. That can wait for a bit.
We were all busy the other night making Christmas trees from this wonderful blog.http://www.craftypod.com/2010/12/07/how-to-make-japanese-inspired-upholstered-ornaments/ It was quite late however they both stuck with it as best they could and the result is just so sweet. I am wondering if they are going to gift them or keep them.
