Doesn't look much like my desk, which is probably because it isn't my desk.. it's the pile of things at the ready for me to throw into my car and head off to Bath when I get the call to say that my daughter has gone into labour. She is due to have her second baby on 29th, but she feels that it will be sooner, and I am delegated to look after my granddaughter
What you can see is the new 'travel system' (apparently they're not prams anymore) which we have bought for them. They needed a double buggy and chose a Phil & Ted model, so that's what Mr John Lewis delivered to us. She's a little superstitious about having the pram in the house before the birth, which is why we bought it and had it delivered here.
The pink overnight bag is waiting for me to pop in my laptop and head off. The perfume is a little gift for my daughter after she has delivered... I hope it will make her feel good.
Just to look a little crafty, here is the stash which I found on the doorstep when we got home from choir last night. I don't know when it was delivered but I'll be having a play later!
Head over to Julia's Stamping Ground if you'd like to snoop at the workspaces of the world. There's a permanent link on my sidebar... and enjoy!
How exciting a baby on the way. Enjoy your new stash - looks lovely :-)
ReplyDeleteOh what a delightful stash haul, bet your keen to play with that lot. Have fun with your granddaughter x

Love the stamps from darkroom door! Just the type I like. Will check them out.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to being a granny again!
Morning Chrissie, Wow going to be another addition to your family. Hope all goes well. Your daughter is like me I had my pram at my mothers too. Lovely new stash. Have fun looking after your grandchild. Hugs JO.xxx**19**
ReplyDeleteI guess a "pram" is either a baby carrier or a car carrier. See how different English is from British (GRIN)? If it happens before next week, congrats to the new mom and Grandmother. I can tell how excited you are. And of course your stash looks like Tim!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the pending arrival of your new grandchild! How sweet to bring her perfume! Love the stash! Happy WOYWW! #11
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lesson on "pram," Chrissie. Now I get it. We called them baby carriages, which, like you said was replaced by strollers.
ReplyDeleteAs for rocking horses, I have about 450, so I can go many, many weeks before you ever see them all. Thanks so much for your sweet comment.
Hi Chrissie,
ReplyDeleteExciting times another baby how wonderful,
I can see some fabulous creations with your new stash.
I wish you all well,
Hugs cherie
This is too cute, never thought about Nana's having their bags ready to go...lol Makes perfect sense...hehe
ReplyDeleteHopefully you will be able to play with your new yummy stash before you dash out the door!
Thanks for the peek and sharing, Marjo #23 Happy WOYWW
OH SO EXCITED for you! Do let us know, and how absolutely thoughtful to take a gift of perfume. I'm so waiting to hear the news!
ReplyDeleteaw so fab that you're so organised ready for Libs' big day. Choosing a double buggie for us was more difficult that choosing a car - we're almost at the stage where we can sell it now as Zac is wanting to walk everywhere rather than be pushed (yey!).
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to hearing if you have a grandson or a grandaughter this time around
Love

Oh exciting times Chrissie, all the best and enjoy your lovely new stamps. Kim
ReplyDeleteHow exciting a new baby. Hugs Pam x
ReplyDeleteA Phil and Ted do not come cheaply I think that is why they are now called a travel system (have to justify that price tag). All the best looking after your granddaughter and the new little one. Great to see you got your Darkroom Door stamps. Looking forward to seeing what you create.

How exciting waiting for a new arrival……I’m talking about the baby here not the craft stash, although that’s exciting too! Hope all goes well when the time comes.
ReplyDeleteI’m sure your daughter will be thrilled with the perfume to make her feel all ‘girlie’ again.

Another grandchild, how lovely. Hope everything goes as planned for your daughter - she will certainly appreciate that perfume once it is all over. A 'travel system' is it now, it was still a pram when I bought my first in Germany almost 42 years ago! Isn't great when the postman brings such great craft items - those stamps are brilliant.

ReplyDeleteoooh lovely pile of new stash to play with there! and how exciting to have a new grand baby soon too - hope all goes well. Thanks for sharing. No. 29.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to start the new year with a new baby. I hope all goes well. My birthday is 27th so I'll look out for when the new arrival puts in an appearance with interest.
ReplyDeleteYour new stash looks gorgeous, especially those stamps. Can't wait to see what you do with them.

OOh Chrissie - you are very organised - and what a lovely thing to buy your daughter something after the birth - ppl tend to overlook the poor woman who has delivered. Its my OH b'day on 31st... fingers crossed she won't be waiting much longer.
ReplyDeletePaula x x x
