No-longer-Secret Santa brought me this cute little pin cushion. I guessed it was made by Shelly because she has a thing for selvedges.
I think 'Santa' is starting to replace 'Father Christmas' in New Zealand. Ugh. I am trying to bring back 'pictures' in place of 'movies'. As kids we always said pictures. And I hate the word cookies in place of biscuits. I learn a lot of slang from the kids at school. "H n F, Miss. H n F." Hard and fast. Meaning, I will be back quickly if you let me go for a drink. 'Doorstepped' is another word I learnt at school maybe last year. It's when someone steals your shoes from your doorstep. Truly.
I remember going to the 'pictures' too. We have always said Santa though, and yes I hate cookies too, they are always biscuits. Probably causes confusion when we blog about them though.
ReplyDeleteCute pouch and pincushion. Not long till your holidays now.
I think you are a zip expert!! I love my pouch, I have been busy filling it this morning. I worry about the effects of teenagers on my language. Laters Miss.
ReplyDeleteI love the fabrics in that pouch! I prefer Father Christmas too but Santa has definitely taken over. I think 'pictures' is just so lovely, I hope it catches on and I totally agree they ARE biscuits!!
