Brr........ it's cold outside...

Rosemary & Gingham

Don't forget our pets...

Brown paper packages ties up with string......

Why do I feel a song coming on...!? Soaps all wrapped up...

Handmade Note-lets

For all those thank you's after Christmas.....

Whilst it's been snowing outside.......

So here's the thing

So.... most of the bits & pieces for the Christmas craft fare are done... just bits & bobs to finish off now, phew..
The utility room looks like, a small whirl wind has spun about a bit, & plonked paper, pins, fabric, pencils, lace, rose hips, stuffing, &... oh well.. you get the picture...
Work is now hectic, & have got the usual very sore hands, which are currently heavily greased up, & shoved into white cotton gloves, 'nice' but not in a good way...! &, am presently typing in them... feel like a magician about to perform a trick... (pick a card any card...!!)
Remind me again why I started doing this craft lark again....?

Full steam ahead.....

My second wind... well ok, I did reward myself with a chocolate muffin too....

Sunday a floppy day.....

Had one of those floppy days, today as we call it in our house... so have been drinking tea, reading the Sundays, & little much else really, just lovely...
So why do I feel so guilty....?

Still working towards the church fare...

Christmas Country Living fair

Inspirational.... breath taking (small clapping of hands) Christmasy smells, gingham hearts, twiggy hangings, vintage ribbons on bobbins... the list goes on & on & truly on....
However....for outstanding fresh & innovative handmade items, it must go to
'Made in hastings' lovely stand, kind friendly people, with their different approach to the ordinary gifts & goodies you can buy,.. if you haven't see these truly great artists & their work, have a look at their website www.madeinhastings.co.uk

We are wondering...

What do you think...?
Lagotto puppies aren't they lovely...?
We (that's my husband, James & I) are thinking about getting another dog.....
