Miserable, wet, cold and windy today :-(
Roman brought this home from school for Christingle. I was amazed he didn't eat all the sweeties off it!
The fruit for our Christmas cakes are marinating in brandy and white rum for the next 24 hours, yum! We can bake them when the kids finish school tomorrow.
I am using this recipe which was in Sainsbury's magazine, it looks nice and simple for the kids to do. I brought a bag of crystalised ginger to also put some in the cakes and Roman has been asking to make ginger bread men too. He asked to try some straight from the pack and ran round shouting"hot, hot, I neeeeeeed water!" - Roman will try just about anything!

Ages ago I brought this transparent keyring in the Hobbycraft sale but never knew what to put in it as it was quite big.
On the weekend I brought this "M" cross stitch from Hobbycraft, it was reduced to 50p.
It was perfect sized to go in the keyring.......

So today I cross stitched the "M" - for Mark.
Cut it to fit the keyring.....
............and used my Pogo printer to print a picture of the kids on holiday to hide the messy back of the cross stitch. This is to go on Mark's laptop bag so he can easily identify his from all the others in meetings!
Also today Roman has been to swimming lessons.
I have started to wrap Christmas presents up.
This evening we have been doing more pyrograhpy but no photo's to show for it as it is a secret!
