My mum's quite a star!
I was explaining to her on the phone the other evening some of my (ambitious) plans for making Christmas decorations. In particular trying to reproduce one that I'd seen in John Lewis, but couldn't face spending £5 on. I was describing to her the types of fabrics that I was going to go looking for at the weekend, only for her to say "oh, I think I have something like that in my stash".
A couple of days later an e-mail arrived in my inbox telling me that she'd found some bits and pieces and was posting a little package down to me. I was thrilled when I came home from work the next day and found a jiffy bag containing the following (and some photocopied decoration making instructions) on the door mat.
It was like Christmas had come early. Mum's had a few more years that me to grown her fabric stash, but it's certainly of the size that I aspire to!
