Christmas Shopping Inspiration...

What a lovely surprise I had when I got home, well two really.

One of my friends from down the road had popped up to see us, we got chatting and opened a bottle of wine, don't you just love that spur of the moment get together?

Secondly, the Not On The High Street Christmas brochure had been delivered to my door, oh yeah its that time of the year when households are bombarded with Christmas brochures, but I have to say this is one I didn't put straight into the recycling...

Well without a moments hesitation I was in that brochure before you could say 'Merry Christmas' and I now have some fabulous ideas...not for family gifts but for me!!  Here's a few that will be going on my list...

I just adore these silver words bangles, they come from Posh Totty Designs Boutique and cost £110 for two bangles with a joining ring or you can just go for a single bangle for £55.  Gorgeous aren't they?

The next gift on my wish list is this lovely golden jewellery stand which comes from BeGolden, I love the pretty little birds just perching on the branches...

and finally this wonderful personalised family poster from A Piece Of.  To be honest I could probably recreate something like this myself and I probably will but I thought I would just share how cute it is!!

Seriously, if you are looking for a unique gift for a friend or family member check out Not On The High Street.  I've shown you only a few items, there are many more gifts available that suits all tastes...go have a look!!  TTFN ~x~

I'm late, I'm late...

No don't worry, not that kind of late! People, I'm not pregnant!!

But I am late...I'm usually well on my way to having most if not all my Christmas shopping done but I have to hold my hands up and admit I have not had the time to get anything...until today that is.

I met one of my friends down the road at lunchtime and we were walking and talking, looking in the charity shop, you know like you do and we decided to pop into the chemist.  They had buy one get one half price on Baylis and Harding gift sets, I adore their products so I picked up a couple of sets for my Mum and sister!

Yay, I'm off and on my way, only a few hundred more pressies to go and I'm done!!! I'm off to look at Ebay and some online toy shops...when I get going I just can't stop! TTFN ~x~

My first blog....

Well there you go, here it is my first ever blog and I intend to use this to keep anyone up to date in what I'm up to with all things crafts....which I have to say I'm very into at the moment. 

Last October I set up my Folksy shop and even managed to sell some items! along with having to work very hard to produce loads of stuff for work colleagues and people from my sons school for Christmas.  Below is a picture of my best seller;

I also made some patchwork cushions, which I sold to my friend as Christmas presents.....this got me thinking that I'd like to make more, so I have been busy buying fabric scraps and remnants.....I'll let you know how I get on.

Anyway, I've gotta get on, put the kids to bed and sit down to watch True Blood Season 3....can't wait! TTFN ~x~
