Looking forward to 'nog night'

1970s woven polyester with slight width stretch...

1970s still cotton larger remnants...

Super cool super graphic 70s print...

1950s lamp barkcloth...sooooo divine....

Counting the days down now - officially three sleeps to go 'til Santa rocks around the world and brings special delight to kiddies when they wake on Christmas Day. The four year old can't wait - we haven't used an advent calendar this year and it's proving to be monotonous reminding the poor boy Santa isn't coming today. Must get advent calendar for next year!

We have a special egg nog night on Christmas Eve. I Googled for a traditional recipe years ago and use one someone added online that is from the Southern states of America and it was her Grandpa's. It has white rum and scotch in it (lots of the latter) and lots of cream etc. We have labelled it the 'drink of the gods' as it's just so divine!! I am making the biggest batch possible this year - 24 servings - even though I can't have even a sip. Well, maybe a sip, but that'll be it for moi until this little baby starts munching on his own :)

I look back at the year - it has been a great one for the business but I can't help but think it could have been better. We relocated and that ruined us timewise for at least two months...and then my pregnancy slowed us down for another couple of months...and then we have a little newborn keeping our time filled with ooooohhhsss, ahs and poops and feeds...

I am still adding fabric slowly onto the website and Etsy - slower than how many news pieces arrive, so that's a worry! We need to sit down and evaluate goals and actions for the business in the New Year - like the Etsy shop...it's going well, but perhaps it would be more popular if we added in uber cool bargains. Like the photos above. They should really be priced accordingly and popped into the website - but, seeing as it's the time of year and...well, I don't know, I just feel like a mighty good bargain - half yards shall be popped into the Etsy store tonight, tomorrow and Sunday...the blue dot one will be the entire yardage we have - 3-4 yards, from memory...

Ho, ho, ho...
