Sorry not been on for a while, been hugely busy with birthdays, work and crafting! I managed to give the boys name bunting a go, what do you think?



Next mission is to start thinking of some Christmas planning as i have done NOTHING!! Don't want to leave it all until November (like i usually do ) and then end up rushing all my gifts lol!

There is lots more of what i've been up to, you know where

I've mainly been doing sewing recently; helping my best mate make a pair of dungarees for her sons christening and lots of bandana bibs. However today I made some oat soak sachets (more piccies on my blog);

I really need to make a start on the Christmas presents!!

Wow Laura D i had no idea they were good for eczema! As a house full of it we may have to give that a go, thanks for sharing

I'm making my friend a little sewing kit to go with the freegled sewing machine I managed to get and upcycle for her. So far I've made a storage tin, needle case and pin cushion any ideas for anything else she might need - great way of using up my scraps as well

Been looking at everything people have made and it's all brilliant! Am going to have to get busy with making things. Have just made a ribbon (French) memo board for my mum for her birthday so very pleased with that!

Hi everyone,
How are the Christmas crafts coming along?
We found a very cute coastal craft shop at the weekend on our way home from a weekend away and it had the most gorgeous handmade gifts from a number of different people / genres. Anyway they had some extremley lovely shabby chic driftwood pieces so we decided to take a walk along the beach and see what we discovered and there we found a driftwood full size Christmas Tree!!
It's pines we're long gone and it was looking tired and worn but i loved it and could just picture it in my dining room covered in handmade creations stood proudly like an old fisherman with many a tale to tell ..hahah...as you can tell i get so carried away.
Anyway the meanie (Hubby) said no In fairness don't know where we'd have put it to get it home and i guess it was kinda smelly so i'll have rethink of something equally as interesting before December
Does anyone else have anything a bit different on display at Christmas?

Along the Shabby Chic theme, i made this recently...more pics on my blog.
