WOYWW 289 – family, look away NOW!

17 Comments

Happy nearly Christmas WOYWW!  Just one more to go.

There is much scattered across my desk today – Those damn socks (SUCH boring knitting, for very big feet) and some (hidden) wrist warmers (more on that another day) and a bit of canvas art (more on that tomorrow when I finish it and can take a better photo) and the gift tag remnants from yesterday. Do peek back if you have time – I think the ones I embossed look so adorable, I am totally doing that for the rest of them this year.  If you still need tags, feel free to pop back and grab the printables.

I did think about being more careful to hide stuff, but my hope is the people these gifts are for are way too busy at the moment to waste time looking at my blog.   If not, that I can at least trust them to look away when they see the title.

My desk seems to be a desk of two halves – one side paper and one side yarn.  But they are united in the fact both sides are a mess LOL!

V V excited that DS is coming home on Thursday, and still some wrapping and (sadly) a little shopping still to do, but for the most part pretty happy with where I am.  Of course if the turkey and the ham delivery goes wrong, or a couple of gifts that are listed as “shipped” don’t arrive in time I may be less so. Keeping my fingers crossed and not leaving the house during delivery hours.  Oh, if there really WAS a one-night-only, no need to answer the door, or explain location over a crackling cell phone delivery, in a jolly man in a big red suit….

{sigh}

  1. Hi Mary Anne, your desk looks incredibly busy still. The handwarmers look very cosy – I don’t knit anymore but if I did these would be on my ‘attempt’ list too. Wishing you a lovely festive week. Elizabeth x #42

  3. O.k. maybe I will be brave one day and try to knit socks – but I can’t imagine they are boring!!! haaa And what mess?!? I like the looks of the canvas so far. I’ll put a star by your name so I can come back and take a peak.

    Happy WOYWW

  4. I also have separate areas for yarns and textiles, and mostly-paper. Love the socks. A real labour of love for the big footed recipient!

    Happy WOYWW,

  11. What a lovely mess! I love it! Those tags are really great. I might grab them for next year. Thanks.
    It must be a great feeling to be on target…. if things do go wrong it won’t be your fault.
    Have a great week and don’t work too hard.

  12. What lucky recipients to receive your handmade presents. Last year we used your word search printables for cards and they were very well received. Hugs from Horace @ no. 32

  14. I’m loving the desk of two halves – it really is! I’m in a flux of unfinisheds now, and that applies all around I think…it’s kinda like all the balls have to come down from the air, huh! Love the look of the canvas, and have really admired the printables and your wrapping…..my wrapping area is WORSE than the state of my desk, so am not showing that!!

  15. Hi Maryanne – glad you’re on target. Such a pain having to wait in for deliveries, but it’s got to be better than fighting the crowds and having to carry stuff home. Happy WOYWW, and have a great week, Chris # 8
