...Homecraft.

Where we can discuss all the small, but oh-so-important, things involved in keeping our homes running in a ship shape and Bristol fashion.

I made three Christmas wreaths with two of my dgds today. Does that count as homecraft? [Stepford Wife] emoticon.

I've just tidied my toiletries and make up drawers because I just received some stuff I had ordered online. Really enjoyed it because I am that SAD! Also looking forward to receiving some new pans I have ordered - I can get really excited about a new kitchen utensil. tchsmile

There are several posters with a jingl style of writing at the moment, I think? Maybe I just hear voices...

and I had a specsavers moment when I read merlotgran's making Christmas wreaths with 2 of her dogs...... I thought 'what clever doggies'[visions of them passing her the scissors and holding holly in their jaws] until I re-read the post. OH dear.tchblush

Galen that reminds me of going into a small local bookshop and asking about "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus". The assistant asked me if it was either a novel or a self-help book. I told her it might be considered more of a users guide.

jinglbellrocks Sat 14-Dec-13 18:44:06

jinglbellrocks Sat 14-Dec-13 18:44:46

Icyalittle Sat 14-Dec-13 19:10:21
