Whilst I was chatting to her friends about knitting and quilting,

she joins in with an “Oh Yes,”

“I know what I want for Christmas” I’m thinking, It is January isn’t it!!!

“Oh” sez I.

“I want one of those Christmas tree skirts,” and then proceeded to wax lyrical about the one I had made.

I reminded her that I hadn’t finished it, I am still sewing beads on..

so she said with glee..

“Well, it will give you a whole year to make mine”

Game, set and match to my mother me thinks…
