Happy Days.......

I spent three hours at a friend's house making this Christmas wreath for my front door. It was well worth the effort but I was more tired after that than I am when I run a full day craft workshop of my own.  It was definitely a challenge.

Now remember in September we went to London to celebrate our silver wedding anniversary ?  Well we paid £25 for these silver cake forks and cheese knife from a lady in Covent Garden market.  We thought it was a good sign - silver - 25.

The only thing is we lost them when we got home along with these little glass and brass frames

Now you creative types will know what I'm talking about.......where did I find them, three months later ?

Well where else but my ribbon basket on the bottom shelf of the bookcase in my craft room when I was looking for something to attach my Christmas wreath to the door.   Happy days !!!

Santa in Black and White

The theme this year for our craft group's Secret Santa is Black and White.  The idea is to give a present upto the value of £5 incorporating the theme.

I've used two pieces of A3 paper, laid them on top of each other and machine stitched using black thread.

Then using a black fine liner I've drawn on the paper.  Wrapping the paper around the present I then machine stitched it closed.

As it's a secret I can't tell you what's inside.  You will have to see if Santa has it in his sack for you.

What's on my workdesk today

 I was asked if I did gift vouchers for my craft workshops. So naturally I said yes, hee hee or is it ho ho ho as its Christmas.

I have used three of my own photographs, a piece of card and a zip.

It took some thinking about and will admit it wasnt as easy as it looks.

Here's the front with the voucher 

This is the back with the envelope and 

a little paper doillie to write a greeting on.

Hope i've inspired you.

Time for a look around some more desks
