Preparations.

 Hello Friends,

Let me show you the fun Xmas glasses I found I the Netherlands . I found some Xmas crackers in France ( not easy to get here) and my daughter brought mince pies and mince meat from Dubai.

This morning I phoned the butcher to order a goose for Xmas. I like to cook a fruit and nut stuffing goose from my Crabtree & Evelyn cook book brought from England.

Everybody love it!20 ingredients in the stuffing! This Saturday Mr L will drive me to the shop to get all I need

As it takes a long time I will freeze it until Christmas.

I just had a look on Amazon I payed it 19£95 it is now 103 €! I bought it in the 90’s.

So expensive now!

The Christmas tree 🌲 is arriving tomorrow evening.

Yesterday, between resting and watching Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple I began to paint the stars and made some clay gingerbread. They are drying and I will have to paint them, it will be part of the stair railing decoration with pine cones and dried orange slices.

With rest and medication I begin to feel better and it reassures me to be able to do something before the children’s arrival in two weeks!

Tidying day !

Hello friends!

Today, it is a busy day, sorting out all my crafting items.

It is hard work 😓! Next tidy my craft room and make room for the new dryer arriving next week. I am changing the dryer’s room.

I found this to put at the foot of the Xmas tree and last Saturday I ordered already the tree so it’s done ✔️ before their arrival.

I have put the little cardboard houses on the mantel but did not decide what will be the decoration yet.

This morning I applied the last protection on the armoire

And tomorrow I will tidy the room, one project  done ✔️ 

And we will go shopping and get a new changing table for the baby and a child booster chair for Maxime.

Grandparents shopping!

I wish you a nice weekend!
