I was catching up on my google reader and saw that allsorts had bought some items from Decorative County Living. They reminded me of these little pieces that I picked up at the Knitting and Stitching Show at Ally Pally last month (I can’t remember the name of the stand I bought them from!). These…

Day 8
My Stanley looks nothing like the picture. I may have to have another go.
Day 7
Yay, today I won a lovely pumpkin pin on a giveaway from sewSpun. I love the colour and aspire to make something like this one day. I popped into a new Christmas shop which has opened on Marylebone High Street at lunch time today. I got some great inspiration for the handmade ornament swap –…
Day 6

Grumpy bunnies – just like me
Not much crafting going on here lately as I’m struggling with a bad cold. I took the day off today so I could spend the day sneezing at home rather than at my desk. The morning was spent wrapping Christmas presents which are now ready to be delivered to family on the Isle of Wight…
