So .....I've altered my list in a panic as usual. Dad is getting a mushroom kit ( because I'd like one of them too and he's so hard to buy for) PJ's getting a sewing kit instead of the poor doll with no hair, the boys are getting (see previous post) stunt bike and tickets to crusty demons. (The 18 year old rat bag in me totally wants to go!!!!) Mum is harder she's such an awesome support I wish I could give her all her heart desires. Instead it may be an apron and one of the fabulous PJ Heath's wooden spoons. Perhaps a goat. (She's a born again Christian, story for another day)The fabulous Aunts are getting a snazzy miniature stockings filled with goodies (red baby booties). PJ and the red head are getting ukulele's cos we all love music and I believe it opens lots of mathematical pathways in the brain. L and I have already bought ourselves a dinky little BBQ for the beach and a food processor for pesto so our joy will be through our kids. I have plans of an oilskin man bag for him too though. Do you think I can squeeze in a few extra hours before Christmas? If I have dark rings under my eyes you'll know why, I've been sewing till midnight, working at Dad's farm, getting up for the market, trying to be supermum and a good friend to boot. Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night.

I concur with the hectic end of year, Summers here, out and about and not quite getting the homemade stuff done. I kid myself that there are still 18 days to go, ha, ha, but the kids arrive in 13 days and there's much to do, plus I'm working full time the next 2 weeks while work is available.
PS I'm having a give-away at my blog.
Great ideas for gifts!
I'm struggling with the homemade gift thing this year too. Such a nice idea in theory but in practice it's a lot of work! Today I made a batch of mango chutney - I got 4 jars out of it, so that's 4 gifts done!
Im taking your mushroom kit idea for my mums gift. Thanks!
