It Happens Every Year

In June I get a phone call:
"Would you like to put an advert in the village Harvest Fair programme?"
"Yes, why not... I know I'll advertise a Chistmas Open Day"
Move forward five months and a friend will casually remark:
"Looking forward to your open day in a couple of weeks."
"Open day? OPEN DAY????"

I always forget. I always think I've got plenty of time. So this week has seen several of these chaps being finished off:

A few more of these being made:

Several bits and bobs made for the tree:

And even some more of these:

Of course because I forgot all about it I've not really advertised it so probably no one will turn up for my open day... TODAY!!! But on the bright side that will mean I can sit stitching my portraits and I'll have plenty of homemade pressies all ready for Christmas!
I suppose I should get off the computer and go and shower... I open in just over an hour!

  12. I do love your sock creatures, Gina. Where did you find the socks? I've finally got round to making sock monkeys for grandsons for Christmas having seen them several years ago when you could buy quite pretty coloured stripes on the market. Now all I could find were horrific fluorescent orange and pink stripes.
    Oh, and the Tea cosies are great!x
