When Christmas is only 5 days away


Bunnies, originally uploaded by quiltingmick / michelle.

When it comes to Christmas, I'm usually the most over-organised and excitable person you could know. I love Christmas. No, really. Love it. The tree goes up on the 1st, all the presents are organised and sent a week before they need to be there, and the baking and rumball-making is in full swing.

Not so this year. I have just been so busy with other things (including the market and that pesky day-job gig) that I haven't had time to put the tree up, buy presents (let alone send them) and work out what we are having for Christmas lunch.

Which is how I find myself still up at 12.35 am on Sunday morning, waiting for a fruit cake to finish cooking so I can go to bed. Christmas cards are currently sitting, half written, on the dining room table.

I did find some time last night to make up these little dudes. They look so relaxed lying there on the step. Gosh, I wish I was lying down right now... Anyway, Mustard Bunny Dude was given to a wee boy for Christmas earlier tonight. Red Bunny Dude is headed for a Toy Society Christmas drop sometime tomorrow.

In the meantime, I have just two more social occasion to attend and two more fruit cakes to bake. The tree will go up whenever and then I intend to relax. And sleep. Lots. Can't wait.

    We haven't put our Christmas tree up yet either, and I'm still sewing presents!
    The orange penguin box for socks arrived yesterday, thank you soooo much, I'm sure my MIL will love it.
    Enjoy your Christmas break. :-)

  3. Oooooh, those bunnies are extremely cute Michelle! I have found myself so busy with stuff this year that I haven't written any cards or my annual letter and I suspect that I'm not going to (the letter may get done as a New Year letter). Kick back a little and relax when you can!

  6. I skipped the cards this year - it was all just far too hard! I am looking forward to my Toy Society drop later today - what fun.

  7. I hear you - I am still making dolls to fill Christmas orders and haven't been toned before midnight in weeks. Our tree us up though.

    Your wee bunnies are super sweet though.

  9. Your bunnies are in heaven. I so wish to lay flat and relax. Im finishing a shop order and baking my 2nd cake at this very moment. I think that it is so lovely that you are donating one of the bunnies to a child you dont know. That is the true spirit of christmas. Merry Christmas Michelle.

  10. Love the bunnies - very cute!

    While I have my tree up, I have not yet written any cards at all, and still have a bunch of Christmas shopping to do, as well as baking...and I don't even have work as an excuse. Oh dear.

  11. yes - relaxing is a good idea. I haven't done a toy society thingy, yet. No christmas cake either - but we do have a dying branch of a suckering chinese elm looking crinkly in the corner covered in tinsel and the like. Have a lovely rest of your weekend.

  12. Love the bunny dudes - surprised a real one this morning on my run - yours are waaaay cuter and not nearly so pesky!

    Relax into chrissie - remember it will happen - whether we are organised or not (my new mantra!)
