Time Flies!

Well, where did that time go?! I am still not back to crafting awaiting a shoulder op which is very frustrating as I want to get on with things. However I'm keeping myself busy getting inspiration for new things to make and wondering how I can justify a new sewing machine when I'm not even using one! I was reading Pants and Paper's blog today and see she has a great giveaway, here's the link if you want to enter, I just love that little dog brooch.
Pants & Paper Giveaway . Talking of dogs, there's no time to be moping here with our little Kray Twins up to mischief all the time. As a change to a crafting photo, here's Dex and Louis meeting a Giant Schnazer, they can't quite work out why he's so big!

Christmas Wreaths

Well, some spare time today saw me making some Christmas Wreaths so thought I'd share with you. They are so simple to make with some festive ribbon and a little imagination. These are for my niece who has a gorgeous flat and plans a very traditional themed Christmas so I hope these fit in. More planned later this week so watch this space!

 
I've also been making some pretty coaster sets courtesy of Martha Stewart. I've been making them all Summer out of pretty vintage cottons and now have made some with some great Moda Christmas fabics. I thought you might like the tutorial to make a great little Christmas gift.


Have lots more planned in the next week or so, the weather looks like it's goning to be good for Crafting!

Howdy Blog World!

Well, where did those few months go! 
I have been keeping up with the Craft World via your blogs and FB and am so pleased to see so many of you enjoying some great Christmas Sales.
I am still enjoying making things for friends and family, and am looking forward to returning to online selling sometime next year.

Meanwhile this blog may turn into the ramblings of my daily life and finds, as the need to 'Promote, Promote, Promote' has gone - one thing I admit I don't miss!
I am on the waiting list for shoulder surgery, hopefully in the New Year - it's keyhole surgery which I had on my other shoulder, with a good quick recovery as long as you stick with the physio - unfortunately I have absolutely no willpower when it comes to having to exercise at home!

A visit to a big shopping centre yesterday has finally convinced me to do all my Christmas shopping online, otherwise I need the shops to open just for me, like The Queen! So, a day of internet surfing as we used to say in the old days, and a hunt for something a bit different to socks and scarves! Enjoy your Sunday everyone. xxx

Thank You Buttons & Beads Gifts

Just a quick blog to thank Angela from Buttons & Beads Gifts for the lovely prize I received today in her giveaway.

I chose these lovely wine glass charms from her shop and they are so pretty. Great quality, they have a real weight to them. I have earmarked as great little Christmas gifts. £5 for 6, and presented in a lovely little organza bag.

Thank you Angela!

Keeeeeeep Jesting!

I've been very naughty and neglected the blog for a week, no excuse just ran out of time!

As usual a click on the photo will take you to the Crafter's shop. I'd also like to thank 'Cuteable' for featuring my new Ted Bag this week - I was thrilled, give Cuteable a visit for all things lovely! Meanwhile hope you like my Jester's picks:
