Christmas Looms

I have done my last Christmas Fayre for this year and now I'm settling in to finish my orders and get on with my own things.

I feel as though I haven't started towards my own family's Christmas but when I checked last night I found I have actually got lots organised.
I'll be going into Seasonal Meltdown soon. Watch out for flying fabric, ribbon and various children!

Birthday Girl!

Well, yesterday was my 56th birthday. 56! how did that happen!! I was 12 last time I looked in the mirror and now my Grand Mother looks back at me when I chance a quick glance!

I have lovely friends and family. I had a beautiful pendant bearing the paw prints of my two precious dogs Bertie and Summer.
I also had, amongst other things, areally pretty pair of tiny scissors great for cotton cutting or unpicking (which I seem to do a lot of) and not1 but 2 sewing work boxes.

Thank you to everyone. I am a lucky bird!

More Neglect

I'm beginning to feel like an absent parent. I always seem to have so much to do and I never get done the jobs which I need to keep on top of; in this case, my blog!
I did a lovely Christmas Fayre last night at The Lacon Arms in Hemsby. It was to help take local disabled kids on a 2 week holiday to Florida. Lots of good feeling about.
Today I got my birthday present early. I had my 2 dogs paw prints made into a double pendant in silver. I have them forever now.

I also got round to re-zipping a bag which just wasn't quite right. It's fine now and ready to go to it's new home. Oh, and I made a pouch for a mobile phone as a Christmas gift and I am rather pleased with it especially as its in a lovely Alexander Henry fabric. Got some pretty Amy Butler coming next. Can't wait!

Busy Bee!

I've neglected my blog lately and for this I apologise. I can only say that I have been rushed off my feet!

I have so many Craft and Christmas Fayres this month that its hard to keep track of where I am and what I'm doing next.

Been busy making too. Bags, Name Banners and towelling gifts coming out of my ears. Roll on Christmas then I can have a rest.

Satisfied Customers

I know that the gifts I purchased were well received– the teenagers I bought for liked the novelty and the girl transformed the cherry decoration into a pendant as well! I hope Jackie’s business goes from strength to strength – coming to craft fairs this summer, perhaps…?’ ‘Wow– how lovely, and what a great idea. ‘ ‘My friend loved the nappy cake and everyone at the baby shower thought it was great.’ ‘My wife and daughter were so impressed that I’d got them something so unusual.’ ‘What a brilliant way to give socks.’ ‘I’ll be ordering more later on for birthday presents.’ ‘Those lovely gifts were a real hit with all the family.’ ‘At last – a fun way to give men’s socks.’ ‘Friends thought the box of cupcakes were gorgeous – one person even thought they were real cakes!’ ‘Thanks for my order of gifts – all so pretty and such good quality.’ ‘What a clever idea – must be made by someone very creative.’

I recently bought a beautiful Pamper Hamper from Uniquely Gifted and was thrilled with it. Perfect colour, perfect style. I couldn't fault it. It made a brilliant Anniversary gift.

Just to say a big thank you for all the’ cupcakes’ and ‘liquorice swirls’ you did for my father-in-law’s 80 birthday party. The day was great and everybody was absolutely charmed with the presents they got, they all thought they were such a lovely idea.

I have just finished distributing everyone’s orders and they are delighted. A few envious glances from people who didn’t order things so there may be more orders in the New Year. I’m so impressed with the quality of all the things you sent and the speed you got them done in. Thanks so much.
