what a wonderful pile of presents! I always find myself reverting to feeling like a child again when I see what's under the tree on Christmas morning!

my winter pastime
I've got my 2009 projects all lined up - so just hurrying to get this one finished. It's based on a pattern by erika knight, with some huge changes, and inspired by the wonderfully talented Attic24. Tomorrow I'll be really busy - have to get the presents and food bought for Christmas day as well as drop off eldest monster at the train station so she can visit her dad and meet up with the other monsters who are already with him. The D.C. is away for a couple of days, so I have a friend coming to help me with the food shop and stay over - we'll be getting a take away and watching a girlie movie!
I've been so incredibly busy these past few days - work has finished now - the students left and then we had a week of staff development. I've been trying to catch up on various crochet and knitting projects so I can start the New Year with a clean slate. But the pressing thing on my mind is that I haven't done any Christmas shopping bar one present for my youngest son! So tomorrow I'll be hitting the shops, for presents, stocking fillers and food!! Still haven't decided what to eat on Christmas day - hmm - a day of writing lists and menus is about to ensue. The picture of the little cake is from Friday when work S came round with her family so we could discuss the menu and programme of events for New Years Eve and New Years Day! We'll probably head off to the North Norfolk Coast for a bracing seaside walk with kids and dogs and end up in Cromer for fireworks on the Pier!

I'm coming back to my blog - made some changes to it this evening but have decided that 2009 will be the year of my blog! I posted this pic to flickr today - in order to keep creativity juices moving, I belong to different daily groups so have to post pics that fit their theme...Today is 'bokeh wednesday'.

Fashion
Tonight I visited the textile students' fashion show - it was professionally performed - but I did feel it hard that those who just wanted to design clothes then had to model them - some would be fine with that - but several looked very self conscious and I wondered whether they had had the choice to use another model or whether part of their brief was that they had to show the designs themselves.
The eldest son has been very argumentative all evening - sometimes he can be very thoughtful - at others a complete brute and I wonder whether he is very unhappy or if this is part of a teenage boy's transition to adulthood.
