Normally by mid-November Si has placed a ban on me buying books, CDs and DVDs without him knowing: this is so I don't end up buying something he has bought, or is going to buy, for my Christmas present. To date this hasn't happened. Now this is not because Si isn't putting thought into my Christmas present: it is simply because this year I am getting something other than a book, CD or DVD.
So, I am free to buy myself the occasional little treat...
I am a huge Kirstie fan. Remember how excited I got at the Yorkshire Show back in July? Needless to say I have been watching her new show, where she is entering craft competitions at local shows, like what she was up to at the Yorkshire Show.
The TV show is great and the book is just as good. What I love about the Kirstie's writing, is that she writes as she speaks. The book is crammed full of ideas from baking, to things to make for the garden, to gorgeous gifts to make for friends. There really is something in here for everyone.
Knowing where to start is the real problem: a problem which I'll tackle in the New Year once my Christmas making has finished.
The book has just one negative: there is no crochet...but it is a beautiful book, so Kirstie is forgiven (just).
