Handmade Monday

I have nothing prepared this week so am scratting round to find something half entertaining.  Looks like seasonal ditty.

That time of year,
Its nearly here,
Just as dear
But do not fear,
We'll have some cheer,
Plenty of beer,
Keep family near
Shed the odd tear
Unwrap the gear
And revere

The one who was born and died for it,
We now enjoy the living of it
The giving of the gifts on it.
And our grateful thanks for having it.

And a half finished project still hoping to be wrapped and put under the tree but just in case I do have a back-up solution.



Like a friend from Texas said earlier this week, my fingers are sore and my hands ache but I am still hopeful of completion. lol.

Can I suggest you go along and see all the other offerings for Handmade Monday on  http://www.1stuniquegifts.co.uk/blog/

    Love the ditty & hope you get finished in time. Sore fingers aplenty here too. Combination of overwashing of hands (all that paint!), glue gun mishaps and screwing the mechanisms on literally hundreds of clocks. Won't be long now though - enjoy! x

    I love the ditty Carol - especially the lines:

    Shed the odd tear
    Unwrap the gear

    Hope you have a great Christmas

    Thanks for sharing that, especially the part about the beer! ;) Love the knitting. I actually ordered a kit and am going to try my hand. Of course, I now need to go out and buy some needles...
