Merry Christmas to you...

Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas filled with joy and loveliness.

Here is a photo of the most delicious Christmas trees ever.
Huge towers made of marshmallows and sprinkled with edible gold glitter.

See them at Mr Simms Olde Sweet Shoppe in Windsor.



Happy Holidays

Guess who we saw...

When we decided to take a short walk in the soft and fluffy snow to the local garden centre.

Here is a little clue...

In a cosy log cabin hidden amongst all the trees and fabulous decorations...

We found Mr and Mrs Santa Claus!

Only 3 more sleeps 'til Christmas...

You can personalise a set of handmade Mr and Mrs Love Hearts for a special couple with their memorable date on the reverse too.

Christmas baubles galore...


From the moment I saw this amazingly decorated Christmas tree, I knew I would have to go back the very next day with my camera.

It is covered from top to toe with so many colourful baubles and fairy lights.




Here is a close-up of the fabulous decorations.

Have you seen this special tree too?
You can find it in Maidenhead.

Hope you love it too... x

Cute Halloween...

I definitely prefer cuteness rather than a scary Halloween.

This is a custom-made cushion for my friend Amy who loves the Halloween celebrations.

We designed and made this cushion together under the watchful eyes of Baby and Cat.


Our fun craft day inspired me to make these Pumpkin Pals for sale in my Etsy shop.


I also added some cute Bat Buttons to my Folksy shop too.


Happy Halloween! x

Lovely sunny October days...

The sky has been bright blue with not a cloud in sight.

Everyone feels happy at the unexpected fine weather. Over 20 degrees!

There are some gorgeous flowers still in bloom in the garden.

Here are just a couple which are so sweet they had to be photographed.

Love the soft pale colours x

Cars and Crafts, Crafts and Cars...

My two sisters, my youngest nephew and I held our 'Make & Bake Day' a little while ago.

The scones were in the oven and the cute amigurumi teddy bear was taking shape.

I made a bright blue Tickle Monster for my nephew, aged 4.

He also wanted to make something for Mr Mac...

Can you guess what we made?



Yeah! A red felt Ferrari!

We had seen the Knitted Ferrari by Lauren Porter at a car show in London. See http://www.lauren-porter.co.uk/ for more details.



Inspired by the real thing!

Mr Mac loves cars, I love crafts.
He takes me to car shows, I take him to craft fairs.
I wonder who has the better deal?

How many more sleeps to go...?

I have been busy making lots of cute Christmas decorations for sale online and at local craft and gift fairs.

Hope you like my special tree.

Please let me know which is your favourite and I will make some more.

Have you started making too?
