Home Made for a bloke.....

In the theme of handmade (sort of) Christmas gifts we fixed up some beer for widget's dad.....

I've seen these done several times and was glad I gave it a go this year

"Reinbeer"


Labels printed from this fun site....  


really fun with some christmas pipe cleaners with little bells....


our ham was delicious.....


... it came with a calender that surprised me.... 

.... when my boys were younger in the house I really was against these sexy woman calenders and pictures.... I told them it's an insult to me to have these images.....

... somehow I don't feel the same about this one!.....


(actually I think he needs a bit more meat on him!!)

Righto, Gotto Go..... still sorting those cupboards.... how come when I sort one shelf it makes three times more mess and things to do??????

  5. Love the reinbeer idea, and your calendar story is very funny. I don't think your calendar is demeaning.......it's art!

  6. The Reinbeer is great! I know what I'm doing for my s-i-l next year! Did you make your own beer? The calendar is nice to look at but would make me feel guilty after all the times I've told men that such stuff is using women as sex objects. :)

  10. cute reinbeer..
    as far as I am concerned that guy in the calendar is still a male, when I look at him I think 'get out of the bed and get some clothes on so I can make the bed!'
    I must be too old....

  13. It's always harder to think of things to make men. This would have gone down well

  14. Back from holidays and catching up on your news. The ham looks delicious ( and so does the calendar!). Love the idea with the beer bottles. Good luck with all the tidying and sorting. Isn't this a great time to get into those cupboards so there can be a fresh start to the new year? Good luck!

  15. Oh Fiona I love your reinbeer weewee - what a brilliant idea. Good on you having the calendar, a few more sales & the poor boy might be able to afford to buy clothes! Scrumptious looking ham (the real one, not still talking about the clothesless man!). Tracee xx

  18. Ha ha, I love the beer Fi, very clever.
    As for the calender, that's a good one... years ago a boyfriend of mine was a Fireman, and he appeared in the WA Firemans calender, so of course I had to have my copy!
    Tell Hubz your calender is for ... um... ah... bed linen research... x
