Happy New Year

Happy New Year Everyone!!! How can it suddenly be the 6th January already?! I hope everyone had a fabulous New Year. We had a quiet one which suited me down to the ground, what with the dodgy weather and to be honest I'm not that fussed about big celebrations at New Year so a quiet one in with some nice food and a couple of drinks watching the fireworks on the tv was great!

It was so nice to have a decent break from work and I kept a promise to myself that I wouldn't do any sewing, knitting or crafting either... so I could actually rest for a change, like many of you others the run up to christmas was rather manic.

Any New Years Resolutions to share? I haven't seemed to have had 5 mins to think clearly about them and thought I should set some goals this year.I tend to not bother.

I don't know how the weathers affecting everyone else but I've been yo-yo-ing in and out of work this week teamed at home what with our downpour of snow. Heres a few snaps from yesterdays snow, I didn't venture far and not for long.

The road outside my house, normally a busy one.

Lovely snow covered tree branches

Even wire fences can look nice!

More is expected later I do believe so I could well be tucked in the warm again tomorrow. Hopefully if we have lots more snow I will bring you some more photos from the countryside...If I manage to get there tomorrow :)

I'm off to have a play with my pom pom makers which arrived in the post today...very exciting!!! Sad I know..he he but I can't wait. It'll speed up my little project no end. No more cutting up cereal boxes and hopefully will give my wrist a rest. I can't believe it feels like I've given myself rsi making poms poms, who would have thought!! Will post you photos when its all finished.

Snow snow snow

Now the snow has all gone, well from my area. I know it's still hitting other parts of the UK. Here's a few of my favourite snaps so far.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Sorry I've been a bit quiet these last couple of weeks, like you all it's been a bit mad this end, lots of orders and making and trying to get organised for christmas though saly not as successfully organised as normal.

I want to wish you all a very Happy Christmas and a Merry New Year!!!

Hope you all have a fantastic time and try to rest up abit and have a break :)

I want to thank you all for following me this year and taking a peep into the things I create and do and for all your lovely comments!!

Last order before christmas

Here's my last order posted out before christmas, can't fit in anymore folks sorry. Still got my own presents to make let alone wrap everything.

Flowery Purse

It was my Friend Katy's birthday earlier this week and amongst other things I made her this little purse.

More Birds

As regular visitors will know I have created lots of nirds lately, they seem to be selling rather well in several forms. I had a little order last week for 3 one as a dec and 2 for cat toys :) here they are.

Cupcakes

Hope you have all had a lovely weekend. I've had weekend and a few days off of much needed rest. Back at the sewing machine tomorrow though after work. Here's the last edition of orders made at the end of last week. Little cupcake pin cushions. the firs one was a wee bit too big so I scaled them down bit. What do you think?....more to follow soon

Bit and Pieces

Hi everyone, sorry not been posting quite so much. Here's a few of the random things I've been making to feast your eyes upon.

Here's probably the oddest thing I've been asked to make so far.....dog bandanas and christmassy ones at  that.

The wash bags are all finished except sewing in the ends and threading the ribbon ties through, but once they are complete I show post those too. Hope you all have a very happy Friday and a lovely weekend!!
