Christmas Eve...

Mick and I went shopping at Tesco's in Cardigan last night at around 8.30pm. Just wanted to get some Cream, Fruit and Salad stuff. Well I ended up laughing hysterically, walking round, it was like there was a food shortage. There was no vegetable's or fruit left on the shelves, literally only Potatoes and some red onion's left. We then moved onto the Cheese, not a cheese board left in sight. I just wanted a small tub of cream cream to go with the smoked salmon, nothing! By this time I've got the giggles. We then gone to the Salad aisle, not a leaf in sight not even a mouldy one. Now I'm really laughing. But what had me in hysteric's was the pickle aisle. Nothing on the shelves, absolutely nothing left. I spoke to one of the assistant's and she said that their deliveries hadn't arrived they were expecting a delivery at Midnight and another one at Midday today, which as she said is too late..
I've been listening to the Radio this morning, and they've said that the Town Centres are packed, lots of the store's are starting there Sales today. Thought there was a recession on..
I've got to go into Newcastle Emlyn today, to pick up Mick's presciption for his dressings, and pick up our poorly cat Angel from the vets. Maybe I'll be able to get a lettuce and some Cranberry sauce!... I'll update you later.... LOL...

The Offending Article...

When I took Mick to have his dressing changed on Friday, the Nurse was worried that the scab on Mick's thumb was a bit too granulated. So told him to soak it in water tonight and tomorrow morning, to soften it. Well he had the offending article in soak for about 1/2 hour this evening. Its softened up a lot and I managed to give it a good clean, before I redressed it.

Tiny Treasures Mini Links...

Just to let everyone know, that over the last couple of days, I've added at least another 40 links over on the Tiny Treasures Mini Link Blog. I've found some amazing blogs and Artist site's. Hope you enjoy..
On a sad note, I received a Christmas card from Peggy, remember this is the lady who's collection I now own, telling me that her Husband Ernie had sadly passed away in November.
On a Happy note, I'd like to welcome another three followers, Hello & Welcome...
1. Marian who's blog is called MundoMarian.
2. Bogna who's blog is called I Love That Doll.
3. Ana Rosa who has three blogs La Miniaturas de Ana , Mi Tienda De Novias & Mis Bordados En Punto De Cruz..
Ana's first two blogs are all about miniatures and the third is about cross stitch..

Miniature Trunks..

Thought I'd show you these Miniature Trunks I made a couple of years ago. I used to sell these at the Fairs. These two I really liked and kept. No two were ever the same. The little Yellow one contains a Christening Gown, Rattle, little Gold Teddy, a dinky duck and other bits and pieces for baby. The Green one is a Gentleman's Chest, containing his smoking jacket, hat and little leather slippers, with his glasses and a well worn book. If you click on the pictures, they will come up bigger, so that you can see the detail.
Harry wants me to make a Pirate's chest and a Wizard one. Another project for the new year. Want to get "Honeydukes" finished first. I also want to make a Witches Hat Shop..
I went shopping today at Carmarthen, who ever said there was a recession on? The roads in were packed with cars, so I just went to Morrison's did some food shopping and came home. No way was I sitting in traffic then trying to find a parking space. Thank goodness all my presents are done and wrapped...

Last Lot...

These are the last lot of items that I have to show you from The Stork's Nest. Height Charts, Cushions and bib's, which are all cross stitched. These were also purchased from Catherine French at The Linen Cupboard. I hope you've enjoyed looking at all the tiny treasures..
