Happy Christmas one and all,
I have just finished the Stocking I have made for my Grandson- spoiler alert - you’ll find out his name!
We are spending Christmas together and I can’t wait! He really is just the most adorable baby. Sweet natured. Up on his feet, cruising round the furniture. Chatty and alert and rarely cries. Just like his Mama was.
We have got him two toys, a pirate ship and a pull along xylophone. A couple of books, a stick on toy for his high chair.
When his Mum was his age, she had a similar toy and in order to make her laugh one day, I licked the base and stuck it on my forehead. I waggled my head and it had the desired effect. It came the time a minute later, to remove it. However, the suction was epic. The vacuum seal was NASA space station airlock strong. I couldn’t even get a fingernail under the edge to release the seal.
It was starting to hurt. The HG got some shampoo and rubbed it around the edge and somehow managed to get it to pop off. The circular red mark was there for days- akin to a teenage lovebird! It was so sore too haha.
She laughs like a drain now when I remind her! Thank goodness there were no mobile phones with cameras in those days!
Anyway, photos of my tree - I love it! The new bauble this year is the orange one that my daughter said looks like a pumpkin. I bought it from that TK shop, purely because the designer is called Rachel.

To finish, I’ll leave you with another one of his festive photos!
Love Rachel x
