hellos and goodbyes.

work has taken over all time i could possibly find and put in my pocket. work. work. work. and no play. not at all. unless you call designing childrenswear play. which i suppose somewhat you could.
i have missed being here. missed moon tea parties. and christmas celebrations with you, drinking egg nog or hot milk and honey. or mint hot chocolates. with homemade mince pies and singing to christmas songs. and snuggling infront of fires watching christmas films like elf. home alone. the santa clause. miracle on 34th street. serendipity. and the grinch.
oh how i completely can not wait to go home. i really can not. please someone fast forward to the 18th of december. please.
until then, i have been away doing sweet and fun things inbetween fun childrenswear designing. went home to draw and decorate little ralphie's nursery, although i could not help paint, sobs, too much work.
saw my kitty, trixie-lu. hugs from mother. saw A, over and completely. had amazing fun with best friends and glittered faces. new kisses. auntie cuddles with ralph. learning 'doe a deer'...on the vintage piano. advent calendars from mother for samuel and i.
back up here for uni adventures. i missed tilly~rose such a massive amount, and she is so teeny compared to my fluffy trixie-lu.
making peach coloured butter iced cupcakes and pink fairy biscuits for the fashion cake stall. nibbling at some that were left over on my plate.
1st of december, lighting the first bit of the candle... counting down the days. 18. counting the minutes and seconds inbetween 'last christmas' and 'winter wonderland'. my excitement is just bubbling inside me. it is wonderous. and it snowed after this day. it was perfection. wishing on a white christmas.
winning a giant christmas cookie at the cake stall raffle made me smile and giggle. i was the very first person to buy a ticket. how very completely strange and funny.
homemade pink lemonade. homemade peppermint creams for a dear old friend. pig. smiles. tears. a beginning. an end. christmas sing-a-longs. wrapping gifts. putting gifts under the teeny coloured-light-ed tree. lots more work. tilly~rose snuggles. whisper mail. the flea market at animal crossing. a green horse dress.....wishes. chocolate stars and wispa's. cherry cola. rosy cheeks and noses. spilt tea. peanut butter. christmas countdowns. walks in the cold frosty air. cold breath. diana. stars. mints. fairy wrapping paper.
oh diana vickers! she has gone. her voice, next saturday will not be there. my heart has sunk to the very bottom. a little yelp i let out. i wanted her to win. i wished so very hard with fingers crossed and sorts. oh tears for diana. i hope she will present my fond ears with her beautiful and wonderous voice extremely soon.
your beautiful comments have made me smile lots over this weird and work filled week. so i thank you lots sweet petals. and those of you who have nicely commented about helping with my research, you are more than welcome to still help, the draft is not due in until later on this month. so feel free, and i am so very grateful that you still wish to help. lovely yous.
