Bags, Bags, Bags

I have listed some delightful new bags in my shop with many more to follow.

Just a little taster.

Yum

I saw this on the front page of Etsy yesterday. Two of my favorite things - felt and chocolate yule log. A fab creation by Becky M.

More craft shopping

From time to time I am a craft shopper. On Saturday my OH and I headed of to a craft fair on Londonderry in the Guild Hall. It was about an hour a little bit before we arrived so not to bad. The venue was fab and had a lovely feel about it, everyone we met was very friendly.

We had heard it was a good fair and were checking it out, as one to possibly apply for next year. It was lovely and a nice change being back on the other side of the stall. We drank coffee and ambled around. I spoke to a few stall holders I knew and they seemed to be quite positive, so a definite maybe.

I also made a few purchases and even bought something for myself from Hennies Beads.

craft book

I splashed out on Stray Sock Sewing, because it is super cute and I welcome a fun new thing to do over the Christmas Hols. As soon as I picked this book up I was hooked, it is full of fun animals just waiting to be made. The book is split into sections, there is a section showing a variety of animals having adventures and a section showing how to make some of them. It is fun feel-good book which I am looking forward to trying out.

This little guy is the very last picture in the book and I just love him.

New Fabric

On Thursday, my OH and I went to the Kings Hall in Belfast to the Stitch and Creative Crafts Exhibition. I buy fabric all the time, but I rarely get the chance to touch it before I buy. There were lots of stands all showcasing a variety of crafts and supplies. I was there for fabric and craft books. I did myself proud in terms of fabric and even got a delightful craft book (more tomorrow).

Dolls and Elephants

Monsters.....ohh scary

Singers and coffee cups

These flowers and birds really sparked a few thoughts in my head.

My love of GingerBread men grows, nearly time to get Georgie out again.

Featured Shop - Sewn Natural

While looking at around Etsy for Christmas stuff I found Sewn Natural. The idea behind this store is that nice things can be pretty "while making the world a little bit better at the same time". What I really liked was the fresh approach they take. These lovely christmas trees are made from red vintage Japanese kimono silk. It has a beautiful balsam fir tree sachet in it which would leave that christmas tree smell in the room.

I really like these little trees as well.

When I looked on through the shop I saw some lovely other items. Here are a few other lovelies.
