Christmas Decorations & Gifts

Happy Christmas Everyone

This is my last post before Christmas so I would like to wish you all a happy & restful holiday period.

I have been busy with those final gifts and last minute requests that have been forgotten – the thing I enjoyed making the most was the tree decorations – my angels.  They are very simple but have great impact on the tree.  I would like to hear what you think.

I am taking a small break from the blog, my first post for 2015 will be the 2nd of February, I hope you will take a look at what I have been up to then.

Christmas Card for Friends & Family

Hi there

This week has been all about catching up with my Christmas stuff – so I have been busy making cards and sending them out to friends and family.

Also, last Monday I attended a very small craft fair for the Manx Hospice which was a lot of fun (and the last fair of the year!).

Must dash, more gifts to make!

Jewellery Commissions

Morning Everyone

This has been a very quiet week for me, following all the Christmas Fairs, and I have done very little in the way of crafting. I did, however, finish off some pieces which were orders from my jewellery party. 

I will be at my final fair today at the Manx Hospice for a few hours and then I will be trying to catch up on my own gifts and cards for the festive season.

Enjoy the week.

Great Christmas Gifts

Hi Everyone

I can’t believe another week has disappeared – who knows where they go?  Unfortunately, I’ve not been very well this last week (again!) so I didn’t get as much done as I would have liked. 

What I did do was mainly jewellery based because I could do that from the warmth of my bed in between napping!

I also attended the Laxey Christmas Fair last weekend, and if you were there I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

Next Saturday morning I will be in the Manx Crafters’ Gift Shop in Douglas to run the “Santa’s Pants” workshop, so please do drop in if you are passing.
