WOYWW...

I hope you have all had a wonderful Christmas and Santa brought you all you deserved.  We have really enjoyed many family together times over Christmas and for me that has made it all simply perfect. 

I am still focusing on plans for next year with what I'm sharing today.  Our family does a Secret Santa for the eight adults.  We are limited to just a £20 limit on what we spend and as you can imagine much hilarity is enjoyed when we open our gifts.  There is always a good mixture of joke and sensible gifts but my Secret Santa really knew what I wanted this year.

A gorgeous storage box filled with glass storage jars, 2 packs of pretty fabric fat quarters, ribbons and much more :-)

It was just what I wanted for my new sewing room and this is what I have planned for it....

In one of my temporary cupboards in my make do sewing room are my 7 old plastic sweet jars filled to the brim with ribbons and trims but the jars have now gone brittle and have seen better days so I will be sorting the contents and filling my fab new jars at some point in the New Year.

The dolls clothes you've been seeing made leading up to the big day really put smiles on my little grandees faces as you can imagine and I've now been given an order for proper dolls sized blankets as the baby blankets that have been used are "just too big Nanny" :-)  Of course I'm more than happy to please and have needed something to do with my hands.  I've now finished 3 and the 4th will be finished soon.  :-)

So that's what I've been doing.  How about you?  If you'd like to leave me a little hello message to let me know you've been then I will do my best to pay you a return visit as soon as I can to see what you've been up to.

Wishing you all a very happy New Year and here's to many more fun times together in 2015.

Hugs,

I hope at least one is a girl :-)

I thought I would share my industrious last few days with you......

Last night I put the finishing touches to the latest knitting.  I know it's a girly one but I have 5 babies I'm knitting for at the mo and surely one of them with be a girl?....the wool was just so pretty  :-)

Oh and I've already started the nexy little knitty  :-)  I'm on a roll.

 The other items I thought you'd like to see are ones that will be appearing in the shop over the next few weeks.

This is one of 4 pen rolls I've made.  

This is the first ribbon holder I've designed.  I really loved making this and hope you girls like the idea.  I've made it so you can just hang it up on a hook and your ribbons will then just loop through the ring.  And cos I like it so much ......

.....I just had to make a few more  :-)

Now girls, don't forget to pop over to the shop today to see who has won the apron and to put your name down in the next weekly draw with your comments saying what you think of it.  Thanks girls for all your great help with comments and suggestions....they really do give us an insight into what you girls need to make crafting life easier.
