Well it has been some time since my last blog entrant, infact I haven't written anything since my husband got back from Africa, but now the camera has been brought home from work and I've started making some Christmas decorations that my friend and I are hoping to sell at a local Christmas craft fair so I thought I should make an entrant before I lose all interest in carrying it on. Don't worry I haven't lost interest in all your blogs as your lives are a lot more interesting and you're all a lot better both at blogging and crafting than myself  but give me time. So here are the gingerbread men I have been making and today I took them into work to show my crafting buddy and I got some positive feedback and somebody even asked me if I could make them some. My kids love them and even my husband thinks they're good.

I started this a month ago and are only now getting around to posting it. All my gingerbread men have been sold with orders for another dozen which I really must do this week. I've also made some little pin houses and some other Christmas decorations.

My hope of making all my friends and relatives a homemade present is still on the cards, although I haven't actually started as yet. The fact that money is extremely tight, as in we have none and will be living on our overdraft this month means I don't really have much choice.

The kids have been off school for three days last week and the two older ones are off again today. They have extremely enjoyed the snow, as have I, although a lot of people are fed up with it now and the dirty heaps from people's drives don't look very appealing.

This week I have been painting our newly fitted bathroom and the blind has actually been put up after not having one up for eight months. The tiles and shower are still to be fitted when money's less tight but it looks ten times better than the original pink and grey bathroom. Photos to be added at a later date.
