I’m seeing a lot of companies running wishlist apps or competitions in the run up to Christmassome approaching festival or other, and I thought it might be quite amusing to have a think through what I’d like.
First of all, a good masher. The last one I had had a really badly designed handle, that let gunk in, but couldn’t be cleaned and so I ended up chucking it. Having to energetically fork potatoes a couple of times a week is really getting to me now though, and I’d like a decent replacement. Somewhere must do one without costing the earth?
Oh, how exciting my life has become that the first thing I think of is a good masher…
I’d quite like a Buffy the Vampire Slayer boxset
. Although I’d settle for Once More, With Feeling
as let’s face it, without a magic wand, I’d never find time to watch it.
I’d love a decent baby wearing coat. Something like the MaM coat from BabyArmadillo So expensive though, that I keep just hankering after one and not getting.
Oh, let’s go for that magic wand. I’d like a couple of hours in a day with me awake and my children asleep. Aren’t children supposed to need more sleep than adults? Mine don’t really seem to. Or Smallest grabs a nap during the day and then keeps going all evening, while I’m flagging and desperately needing Zzzs. I need a little bit of me space.
Could I wave it to make me organised? A recurrent theme to my life and my blog is that I just don’t seem to be able to keep on top of myself and my stuff. I’d like a bit of self control please. Some self discipline, and a bit of oomph. Hohum.
Perhaps I’d better settle for wishing for some inspiration to get some of the pattern ideas for crochet out of my head and onto paper, and then eventually into yarn. And a bit more of that time to get the half a dozen web projects launched.
Ooh, and while I’m at it, I could do with a netbook that doesn’t white out if you get the screen at the wrong angle 🙁
I’d like a couple of pretty things. A teething necklace that I don’t mind wearing for when next one comes along. And to be able to find the set of watercolour pencils I bought ages ago so that I could use the sketch pads I found the other day…
I’d settle though for something handmade or secondhand with a bit of imagination thrown in. And with this in mind, I thought I’d do another bloggers’ gift exchange as last year’s was pretty successful generally speaking. I’ve set it up at Elfster, with a £5 limit and the suggestion that handmade or secondhand is absolutely excellent. I’m thinking thrifty folks, imaginative, so only join in if you think you can keep to those guidelines. Sign up deadline is Nov 21st, to be posted by December 12th, though preferably earlier. Stick me a comment if there’s anything I’ve missed, and otherwise, feel free to share 🙂
