Morning All

This week I have been making a friend something to wear to a festive-themed wedding. I was not sure what I would end up with at the start, but I am very pleased with the result and so I think was my friend.

I found this lovely braid in my local shop JJ Ribbons and it was perfect for a 60’s style head dress, and I had two flowers left to make a long double-sided pendant - so that when it moved both sides would be lovely.

This last weekend was also my last craft event of the year, two days at the Workingmen’s Institute in Laxey, which was both fun and very tiring. If you called in I hope you had a great time and found something nice to take home.

Have a great week and, as always, it would be great to hear from you.

Candy Cane Houses

Happy Monday

Can’t believe we are into the first week of November already and it is time to start panicking about the Christmas products. So this week I have been making Christmas Cottages which hold twelve candy canes. I just love these little houses - they can be reused every year, just replace the candy canes for years of fun.

I have only finished the first two in a Nordic theme but I have started a further four which will be finished with more modern papers, but they are quite addictive to make.

I won’t be posting next Monday (the 14^th) as I will be on away on holiday - so I will try and have something fun for the week after. Also, don’t forget my next outing with be Saturday, 19^th November, for Motor Neurone Disease Christmas Fair, at St John’s Methodist Hall from 11:00 to 4:00, hope to see you there.
