Halloween Sceptic/Special
In front of the greengrocer's
I was taking these pictures when a lady came up to me to ask perplexed whether this was to commemorate a road traffic accident? Was it a monument on this dangerous corner alerting us to the chaotic new traffic situation owing to the perpetual roadworks in the High Street? Taking a closer look she then wondered, how many lives had there actually been lost?
Having just figured out for myself that it probably had something to do with Halloween, I explained this horrific display as such. She supposed it was all part of the deal we had to buy into: Americanisation. I simpered an apology on behalf of my American friends and added that it ought to have come with a viewing guideline of 16+.
Today’s Musical Interlude
This one is up because I love free running. (Free anything!) I guess I am an Urban Rat. (Not that I'm doing any of the running for real. But boy, do I fly in my head!)
Anybody this spiritually agile may apply for my sponsorship.
Today’s Christmas Gift Idea
For under 1yr olds.
Think of getting your youngest ones something off Etsy.
There are many happy crocheters making darling outfits for babies and todlers out there. The three piece mermaid costume seems to be quite popular, but you could consider dressing up your child to reflect their character best - you know, to get them used to picking avatars for when they start gaming next year. For example:
For the loner how about a Wolf by ABentzBoutique
at €30.93;Or if storytime is their favorite thing, and of course you’ll be reading them Winne the Pooh then go to OhSoVeryKnotty’page and find her outfit there from €37.50 to €42.19 (depending on the size).
Or there is a bunny hat on special offer at Monarchdancer for only €18.54 (reduced from €20.61)
There is even stuff to be found free of shipping charges! I’ve been crocheting sheep this year myself, so I’ve got to admire the hat found at BabaMoon.
Go ahead: pick an Etsy page and browse your gifts together there!
If we have to cost our crafts based on the time it took to get it right I am afraid
