I am glad to say that I have raided Waitrose and am guarding my stash like Smaug and his pile of gold. One job down... roll on the remaining million or so hehehe
So, tomorrow, I am going to give myself a little bit of a treat and I'm off to one of my favourite quilting shops - Midsomer Quilting (www.midsomerq.com) - which is about an hour or so's drive away. In fairness, it is true to say I do have a couple of large quilts to collect which they have layered up for me on their longarm, and I'm taking another over for the same treatment (it certainly saves all that crawling around on the floor!) but the biggest surprise is that TROLL IS COMING TOO!!
This will doubtless cut down the time I spend in the shop in half, because there's only so much free coffee Troll can consume and the Sunday paper will only keep him busy for so long. But, gentle readers, it's a little Christmas miracle he is coming at all, because normally he avoids all things quilting as if they will pass on a combination of the Black Death, rabies, yellow fever and Ebola in short measure. Let us hope that Chris is on form to chat with him and generally soothe the troubled Troll breast...
Afterwards, and as a compensation for Troll being a Good Boy at the quiltshop, we are off to visit one of our favourite cities - Bath. It has an absolutely fabulous Christmas market, and I'm hoping the atmosphere and all the lovely things to eat on display will get us all in a Christmas spirit, something which comes about as naturally to my Trolls as flying to a kipper. There is also the not inconsiderable issue of what to find the GrandeTrolle for her Christmas present...
... Ah well, let's hope a little Christmas miracle occurs, although after the massive one of getting Troll into a quiltshop I'm not pushing my luck...
