Christmas is Coming

And I am a little bit behind!

I'm pleased to have made a start, so many ideas going through my head and not enough time.

I have to give thanks to the lovely ladies over on MSE the inspiration they have provided me with is amazing, thank you.

The Practice Run Crayon Roll

The lovely ladies on the Sewing Thread on MSE have filled me with so much inspiration, I have a list of gifts I want to make for christmas the first being co-ordinating Crayon Rolls and drawstring bags (Thanks to Dizzytina for the idea).

I have bought my material ready but didn't want to chance messing it up so I practiced using some tea-towels, it's not perfect but I'm happy with it!

My First Proper Bit of Sewing

Well my Sewing Machine is nearly a year old, and I'm quite embarassed to say it's not had much use, I picked up some lovely material and have been meaning to make a bag for while! So I had the bright idea of making a start yesterday, for my first attempt I am thrilled to bits! It's really given me the bug now and I can't wait to start the next project!

Forever Friends Birthday Card

I am finding lately if I don't put my mind to it, I seem to create better cards.... I really like the forever friends range, I have added some ribbon and emblishments to make it really girlie!

My first Door Hanger

I really enjoyed making this and hope to make alot more for Christmas presents.

My first make using the Scalloped Punch!

I finally gave in and bought myself 2 scalloped punches, I do regret going for the 2inch wish I had gone for the bigger version. I have however made my first gift tag and I am thrilled to bits!

More bracelets

I'm so happy to have built up a little supply of handmade bracelets, I am really enjoying making these, such a lovely way to unwind in the evening.

Christmas!

Well after my visit to the Range this morning and noticing all the Christmas craft has been put out, I thought what better time to make a start and have all the Christmas cards ready in time! I bought these peels off for £0.25 in the bargain section of the Range, I think I may add some pretty lace to the bottom to jazz it up a little, so it's work in progress but a start none the least!

Seed Card for my Nan

Thanks to the inspiration of the Ladies over on MSE, I made this little holder to hold a packet of seeds, I have to admit it was abit rushed but as always will learn from my mistakes.

Thank you Card

Another Thank you card, I am slowly getting the hang of layering!

Memory Wire Bracelets

I'm just loving making these at the moment!!

Teachers Thank you Card

I'm trying to be organised this year, starting with the Teacher thank you cards for the end of term, I just love this little image and thanks to another lovely lady on MSE I was able to make the card.

I would like to put this forward for the following challenges, I hope I've done it right!

My Swarovski Bracelet made over the weekend, a birthday present for a friend, I love the colours and love how they twinkle when they catch the light, I am certain I will be making more of these.

Gift Box

I made this gorgeous little gift box to hold a bracelet I made for a friend recently, very simple, yet so effective.

Another Memory Wire Bracelet Make.

I have really enjoyed making these bracelets, I have added a little charm to this one and it says "made with a smile".

I am trying to be organised and have little gift packs ready for birthdays / christmas!

Paper Creations

I'm in the process of making a Thank you bag of goodies for a friend, here are some of the things I've made so far.

Memory Wire Bracelet

After seeing some gorgeous bracelets made by the girls on the MSE forum, I added this to my list of to do, I finally got round to making it and really enjoyed it, I have another 2 kits waiting to me made.

Teabag Holder Cards

I've done quite abit of blog-hoping the last few days and my little notepad is full of things I now want to make, I had some spare 12 x 12 paper so I made some teabag holder cards, I have a friend who has just moved away so I thought it would be nice to send her one. Hope you like them.

My fist bit of sewing

Thought I would start with something easy! A cover to protect my Ipod, I love it!
