This is Noby, the naughty gnome who pops up in the strangest places around here. Ususally after he's done something particularly cheeky. Where did Christmas go? It went by in a blur of wrapping paper, Bing Crosby and Dean Martin on the record player, a good-spirits-and-wine-fuelled charades marathon that went on until we could no longer stand (so it morphed into a few rounds of Pictionary, naturally) and far too many truffles and gingerbread cookies. It was good.
But there's nothing like an impending birthday party to get you moving again: Stella turns 4 on the 3rd. The party is planned for the 6th. I prefer colours or shapes to actual themes, so her soiree will be a pastiche of Lightning McQueen references (Stella's idea) and my fixation on aqua, lime and white. And polka dots. It will all come together. Somehow. I'll post some pictures as I pull things together this week. Auf Wiedersehen Noby, until next year.
