I seem to have got out of the habit of writing this, there just never seems to be the time and I have realised that words are not really my forte. It takes me such a long time to think about what to write and then get it down in some comprehensive way that I just wimp out and leave it until tomorrow! In response to this recognition of my failing I've decided just to write some words down and post them and stop worrying so much. So I've been doing a lot of thinking about christmas and all the things I'd like to make, buy, host etc and not a whole lot of action... Having said that here's a few things that I have made recently...

Beautiful little pine cones collected from Battle woods coated in fine glitter and strung onto vintage embroidery thread from my grandma....

Chocolate roll reindeers for the winter fair at school (hope they'll survive the car journey later)...

And a very simple top, using 1960's fur coat lining fabric from Wayward and some hand stitching.

And now my time is up, need to take Jumble round the block before heading to school to help set up the fair, oh the glamour!!
