    I finally finished The Christmas Alphabet felt book I have been making for my niece last night. I shall post the results when I get home from work! I'm really pleased with it and how it's turned out. It's been lots of fun to make but I've grown quite attached to it, I almost don't want to give it away!

    Started sticking the pages in the colouring book last night too!

    I'm feel really disorganised though, I only have 2 weeks until everything has to be sorted, and somethings need sorting for tomorrow. I've also got about 4 evenings where I don't have anything planned in which to do it all. Scary!

    Can't wait to see your book, so glad you're pleased with it, bet it looks great ;)

    Ooh these are fab gag gifts I have found on a website, I like this one too...

    Using a small wooden/plastic/paper circle with 'TUIT' written on it.
    Then print this verse and attach..

    The tap that leaks,
    The hinge that squeaks.
    The crack in the door,
    The hole in the floor.
    You said you'd do it,
    Just as soon as you could
    get around to it.
    Now the round tuit is here,
    So my friend never fear,
    You'll have all the time to do it,
    Since from this day you can't get
    away with the excuse,
    WHEN I GET A ROUND TUIT.
    I absolutely love it!!! :D
    It's OH's birthday tomorrow and seeing as I've still got a leaky bath tap .... this will go down a treat.
    Especially as he's a plumber/air-con engineer !!!
    Thank you
    A creative mess is better than tidy idleness :D

    So this is the book I made from felt for my niece. It was pretty cheap to make but very time-consuming! Sorry this is quite image heavy!
