  • omg that would be so funny and my ds1 would def sleep though it. You would have to have it all put on ready then just swop them over in the night. Would love to find one a bit cheaper than £15 though cos i would have to do it for both kids. Off for a look.

    I wont have it ready, will have to be done during the night, but my two can sleep though it, my two can be moved about in their sleep and dont wake so ill be ok, lol

    maisiescamp- i debating on if i should get the bunting but na sure. lol

    I'm getting excited as we get closer to Xmas. I've got stuff organised to the Xmas eve hamper that Elvis leaves for the kids and I've been picking up loads of craft goodies.
    Ive also been making wooden Xmas decorations to sell on my fb page. I made a few Elf doors too. I now I somewhere for Elvis to arrive through rather than arrive on our doorstep.

    Tootsie's just arrived!And he fits in my Christmas sock from last year that I bought at store21 so that will be his sleeping bag.

    Yummy mummy
    ,found a greeting card program called page plus (I just downloaded the basic free version) but its perfect for Christmas cards,and Ive been playing with his passport too-Im thinking of using pictures of different flags instead of stamps,as he's learning about all the countries where his family lives.So thought say "oh he's been to visit Noah and Nana in South Africa-and he was in New Zealand with Aunty and your cousins,oh and he want to Australia to visit the other Aunty...",but Im not completely sold on that idea yet.

    The duvet covers are also on Ebeast...Im going to order one next week.DS1 sleeps through everything-but also he still sleeps with "blankie" which covers him completely underneath his doona so he'd def not notice...would just need something for DS2's cot.

    I have a friend who makes bunting too so Im thinking of asking her to do some for me.
  • Next have their christmas stuff online now, so just ordered christmas bed set and the stocking so the elves can change the covers overnight

    LittleNicsmummy - thanks for the info on the Next stuff. I love it, but it's quite costly for a couple of weeks use, so I'll have to see how my funds are going later. :)

    I've just been searching for the knitting pattern for a little elf, someone posted earlier. I've looked twice but still can't find it. I wondered if anyone bookmarked it, and can give me the link. Thanks so much.
    I :heartpuls M.S.E.

    Just finished Tootsie's passport-going to laminate it when I print it later.It amazes me how you change when you have kids.Im terribly proud of myself over this simple task:D

    I found this site: http://www.christmastimeclipart.com/category/christmas-stationery.html has some lovely bits to customise and print.
    There is a subs fee (which I might consider paying next year) but if you dont pay it gives a cross shaped watermark-its not very dark so if kids are still too little to read its okay.
