All of a sudden it was the last weeks of school and then a day or two of preparation and Christmas - like some crazy downhill race that cannot be stopped.
The day itself was very relaxed, there was lunch under the cherry tree, a walk with Finn and some fabric cutting in the evening.
I made these teatowels for Jemma and her boyfriend Gav, and just quietly I think they are a genius idea. I would have loved to have a drawer full of these when the kids were at the rotating dishes age and every night was a litany of "I did it last night" - "but we swapped" etc etc.
For the record, I did the dishes.
wonderful gift idea!! So clever! Rach x
ReplyDeleteGenius! You could also have one for share houses that say:
ReplyDeleteI bought toilet paper last
Great tea towels! Yes it's always a downhill avalanche . . . And then the peace and calm of the post Christmas Hurley burley is priceless!
ReplyDeleteWhat a niffty idea, cute tea towels
ReplyDeleteHave a great Xmas break
Love the tea towels.
ReplyDeleteVery cute, but mine would have had hid their towel in their room so no one would swap out illegally!
ReplyDeleteAgreed with the downhill race that couldn't be stopped---this year, oh man, it has been crazy.
Oh yes! I want a stash of those when the kids are bigger. Happy New Year to you, Jodie :)

Merry stuff to you Jod . I love your teatowels . I'm glad you had a nice Christmas it sounds very laid back , so good .
ReplyDeleteFabulous idea. We need some at our house too!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas Jodie. I think your idea is great but wouldn't work at our house because our division of labour is I cook and Fixit washes up. Mostly.
ReplyDeleteGreat pressie Jod's.
ReplyDeleteWishing you great things for 2012.
Happy New Year,
Hugs ~ Kerryanne
I wish! What arguments it would save!
ReplyDeleteHow was the cushion received?
Maybe you could make some toilet brushes too! And his and her named vacum cleaners. Oh the list is endless! As are the jobs, sigh...! Hope your end of year-ness is relaxing and fun, see you in 2012 xo
ReplyDeleteI love those tea towels. Might have to steal that idea next year!
ReplyDeleteI love them! Your printing is really inspiring :-) Merry Christmas to you and yours and best wishes for the coming New Year. I can't believe another year has flown by....just like these holidays are, I need more time :-)
ReplyDeleteSo ace you are Miss Jodie.
ReplyDeleteI love these.
I'd love to have a coffee sometime too.
Merry, merry. xx
lol, been there. done that! give the good dr. finn a scratch behind the ears from me. ina ;p
ReplyDeleteMmmm a lot of uses for these tea towells!!!! You could make your first million with them!I'd probably only need one of them in my house and that would actually be for hubby, he seems to always find himself doing the dishes!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a good idea! I have some tea-towels that I picked up super cheap thinking I'd do sumpin' crafty with them but I couldn't think what!
ReplyDeleteI love Cath's idea. I think you could revolutionise the share house world with some simple screen prints.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas lovely. Glad to hear you had a relaxed day.
I love these. I need seven that say "Scott's turn." :)
