Handmade Monday - Catch up

It's all gone a bit quiet hasn't it? Sorry. It's just that I have been deliciously busy making things! Unfortunately because they're...... ssshhhhh......... top secret surprises for lovely Christmas customers I'm afraid to show you any for fear of spoiling those surprises.

Suffice it to say a young lady will have a lovely new bedroom to look at thanks to her quick thinking mum, a window seat cushion and a roman blind and many customers will have their own personalised Kindle Covers. I'm desperately trying to replenish supplies in my Folksy shop which is not easy a the moment as their system seems to be struggling abit - anyone else having problems?



Day 5 and all going well......






Buds starting to open.....






House is starting to feel a little more Christmassy each day.........




So for now I'll just direct you in the way of Wendy at Handmade Monday who must be dreaming painted plaques at the moment as she is very busy with her elves in her own little Santa workshop.

  7. Oh, that all looks lovely. And I know the feeling. I hesitated to put my cup on my page because the person it's going to just MIGHT look, but I don't think he comes to my blog. And if he does it's his own darned fault! :)

  8. It a bit of a nightmare picture wise when you can't put them up in case someone reads your blog! (Put up after Christmas tho! ) Mich x

  9. Love the christmassy branches.
    I made the mistake with my last post about magnets, not thinking my mum would read my craft blog, but turns out she does - hopefully she won't read it over the next few weeks! Oops

  12. I also have the thing about not being able to post things as they're for gifts - some are so identifiable too, with names and dates, etc!

  13. I love the red berries, they look so Christmassy. I think there's going to be an awful lot of pictures after the big day with all the surprises we're all making! x

  15. Those red berries look so festive in the glass vase.
    Are you doing different sizes in the Kindle covers?
    My Kindle keyboard is bigger than the one they have just brought out.
