Post Christmas Bargains

January 7, 2015April 6, 2018Other, Sewing4 Comments

I have always been one for post-Christmas sales. For around 5 years running, I would go to our local shopping centre, Meadowhall, for when it opened on Boxing day. We would have a few hours shopping and would then trundle off home with many bargains, mainly clothes and Christmas items. Last year, I did the sales on December 26th but did them online, in my pyjamas with a cup of tea to hand.

This year I didn’t do any shopping on Boxing Day…AT ALL!! But I did go a few days later 😀

I took our Mums up to my local Joanns Fabric & Craft store. I actually didn’t think that there would be much left as it was 5 days after Christmas. However, we had a good search and found some great buys that I have just got to share with you!

I love the look of vintage blown decorations. I found these remakes at $2!!

A Plethora of Presents

January 5, 2015April 6, 2018Other, Sewing4 Comments

December was a good month. It was my birthday, Christmas and the time when our parents began their visit. All of these meant that we/I were given a lot of presents, which was lovely and very kind of the ‘givers’. I wanted to share a few of the items received as many of them are sewing related or quite unique.

First up, Adam got me this super cool Alexander Henry fabric. There is a yard so I’m hoping to make a bag or a top out of it.

Sewing Santas

January 4, 2015April 6, 2018Other, Sewing9 Comments

What could be better than a sewing themed secret santa?… I hear you…nothing!!

When I read that my friend, Camilla, had signed up for the #sewingsanta over on Lisa’s blog, I was gutted that I couldn’t participate because I was in the USA. 😦 I even had a little strop! However, Camilla then told me that she had Jessie comment on her blog saying that she couldn’t get involved either as she lived in Singapore. Well, a couple of emails later, I had arranged with Jessie that we should do our own international swap between us two! 😀

I have already seen that Jessie has received the package I sent and loved it! Read about it here.

Her parcel arrived a few days before Christmas. I was patient and I put it under our tree. When Christmas morning came, it was one of the first presents I opened…with excitement of course!

Jessie included a little note to explain each item.

Happy Belated New Year!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

It’s been a busy one! Our parents are still with us until the 7th and we have been showing them around, eating and entertaining. I haven’t done as much blogging as I would have liked to… so this post is my ‘starting’ post for 2015!

2014 was quite a good one for us 🙂 We finished renovating our house in the UK, got married and we are now spending some time in Alabama. AND I have had all the time in the world for crafting and blogging!

December 8, 2014April 6, 20182014, Sunday Sevens4 Comments

Oooops…I am a day late this week! We have been so busy getting things ready for when our parents arrive in just over a week! We still have a lot to do but we are making good progress!
We have also decided to get married while they are over here! 😀 We are very excited and now need to plan everything… for the 27th December!

So, here is my week:

1. Finished the dress that I had cut out last week. I like the style but the collar looks slightly odd when the dress is on.
