Another Christmas gift build completed. And I had to start watching Gilmore Girls again 🤷‍♀️

After spending a few days tidying & rearranging in my craft room, I can confidently state that if I quit work today & spent 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, in my craft-room for the rest of my life, it would still not be enough time to complete all the projects I have supplies for.

Celebrated the second night of 2026 by drinking a whole bottle of prosecco & re-watching Lucifer on Netflix while trying to finish one of last year's stitching projects.
Also, I am officially "has to change glasses to thread a needle"-years-old!

Happy new year. So far 2026 is great (I watched some fireworks & now I'm in bed). Hope everyone has a great year in 2026 🎆🎇🥂

Thanks for this new year's treat @witchnwords.bsky.social
I haven't been reading much recently. Based on some of the tips on my feed today (thanks @kats-garden.nz & @melbailey.bsky.social) I might have to abandon the book I've been slogging through & make a start on one of these beauties.

The #SecretSantaAoNZ joy continues. Spent the day in my craft room, making a (very small) card set for a friend, using pretty papers I got in my secret Santa package this year. Thanks Santa!

Finished eating the Christmas cookies just in time to have somewhere to put my new Lego bouquet.

Guests have just departed, now the proper holidaying can begin. Many days with no plans or commitments or places to be- bliss. Bring on the Lego & TV!

Merry Christmas everyone 🤶🎄
After three days of cleaning my house is finally fit to have overnight guests who arrive this afternoon. That's the price of slacking off on cleaning all year!

Arrived at pak'n'save Albany at 7am, leaving at 8.11am with a boot full of groceries. Not bad for Christmas eve. There sure were a lot of people up early to beat the rush!

Thanks to my husband's very eclectic Christmas playlist, I've just learned Wheatus once released "Christmas Dirtbag", a re-worked version of their one hit. They're singing the wrong words. It's like the "Christmas/Love is all around" debacle all over again.

@foxylustygrover.bsky.social This seemed like something you might appreciate...

It really is a Christmas miracle to have a stranger study the little pieces of ourself we reveal on this website & then put together amazing personal gifts for us. Huge thanks to Santa's elves for all they do to make this miracle happen #SecretSantaAoNZ

OK, this is going to be an epic thread, I've just been happy dancing on my sofa for the last 20 mins. Huge thanks to my fabulous Santa who has sleuthed hard & spoiled me rotten #SecretSantaAoNZ
December 17, 2025 at 6:57 AM
OK, I needed a little break to recover after a social afternoon. But it's time for the opening to commence. I'll report back soon #SecretSantaAoNz
December 17, 2025 at 5:55 AM
I've missed so much #secretsantaAoNZ while being festive with my workmates. How will I ever catch up?!?
December 17, 2025 at 4:00 AM
Finding it hard to tear myself away from all the glorious #SecretSantaAoNZ opening posts - gotta do some work! Counting the hours until I can get home to my box of joy!
December 16, 2025 at 7:08 PM
As someone who wears trousers 99% of the time, I feel so conspicuous when wearing a dress. It's all in my head of course, but I feel like everyone can tell how uncomfortable I am.
December 16, 2025 at 6:06 PM
Just a heads up for my Santa. I need my beauty sleep too much to do a midnight opening, I have to leave too early to open gifts pre-work, and I have a work Christmas lunch so I'm not sure what time I'll be home. I'm excited to open & post as soon I can, sorry for the delay #SecretSantaAoNZ
December 16, 2025 at 4:11 AM
Struggling to find the festive spirit this year. Grateful to have #SecretSantaAoNZ as a bright spot amongst the struggles. I'm enjoying reading everyone's posts even when I can't get in the headspace to post much myself.
December 15, 2025 at 5:35 AM
Lots of packages arriving this week. Today was the new dress I ordered for festivities, and it fits perfectly thanks Isla-Maree. And goodies from @thesewphist.bsky.social - it will be tough to decide which ones to gift & which I get to keep!
December 10, 2025 at 6:28 AM
I got a big box from Santa 🤩🥳 Thank-you! There's so many gifts in there!!! Bring on opening day ⏳️ #SecretSantaAoNZ

What lines of poetry live rent-free in your head?
Not sure what this says about inside my head...

The time has come,the walrus said, to talk of many things
Of shoes - and ships - and sealing-wax
Of cabbages - and kings
And why the sea is boiling hot and whether pigs have wings.
Which lines of poetry live rent-free in your head?

Dreamed I saw a building with a thousand floors
A thousand windows and a thousand doors….

Also:

I do not dream of Sussex Downs,
Of quaint old England’s quaint old towns…
Which lines of poetry live rent-free in your head?

Dylan Thomas, Do mot go gentle into that good night (most of it) & part of Delmore Schwart’s “Calmly we Walk Through this April’s Day”
