Create your own gifts
I always think how nice it would be to make my own greetings cards for a change. I know it would make my Mum cry – even if I am now 33 years old! However, I always leave it too late and end up popping out to the corner shop in a panic and picking up some horrendous effort with a cartoon bunny rabbit for female relatives or a painting of a steam train for males. You know the kind of thing I mean. The stock that long ago should have been consigned to self storage, but which they leave out ready for desperate idiots like me…
Anyway, this year I’m getting prepared early. I may have already missed most of the big birthdays in my family, but I have six months until Christmas. I figured six months was enough time even for me to cobble together a reasonable effort at home-made cards! I’ve bought myself a few cross stitching kits off the internet and have made a start on them. I used to do stuff like this a lot when I was a kid and I had hoped it was like riding a bike. Sadly, that has not proved to be the case and I have already had to completely unpick one kit after my robin started to look more like something you might see in the toilet bowl…
I’m hoping the grateful tears of my relatives will make up for all the hours of straining my eyes and pricking my fingers on the damn needle. Chances are most of them won’t even I realise I made the cards anyway!
