lovely snowman Siren its very cute.:T

your hamper sound lovely nemo i wil be making my homemade goodies at the end of the month.:D

With the cook recipe book you could add a short cut section with hint n `tips . You could also wrap it around a new apron so it a suprise when they open it !:j

dougl re Spirit of Chrtistmas you could buy some white parcels tags 1.35 for 10 @ paperchase and stick on some cinammon and an orange slice tie with rafia. Also include a little note to sister mother or your favourite christmas memory that concerns them.

I've spent the afternoon making scented wardrobe hangers for my nan and great aunt. So far I've just done the main stitching and got a pillow style base just need to decorate them.

I can't get the smell of lavender soap off my hands though lol.

I'll post pictures up soon.

Everyone's projects are looking fantastic btw.

piglet - love the vynil bowls (ooops spelt vinyl wrong.........lol):T
Used to do that years ago. Made loads into either ashtrays or fruit bowls.

The bowls look great! I was just saying last night that I might make some, it was actually one thing I thought of for my incredibly hard to buy for 17 year old brother who has his birthday right after Christmas too!

Nemo, im 16 with a birthday after christmas so can vouch that there great for this age....lol im wanting to do a vinyl clock aswell now...


Ive just made some snowman soup cones aswell! looking so much better than i thought! Im doing 6 gifts for friends, each will be a hamper style thing in one of those vinyl bowls with a snowman soup and then a main gift of a sort, will probably be some kitsch jewellery (which im hoping to make myself from fimo as i got some today) or a band t-shirt (which will either be bought or made with some transfers, depends on how much i can find oasis t-shirts for...)
