Little Saturday Crafting

Whilst my shoulders still feel really sore at the moment, it wasn't going to hold me back today, I wanted to carry on stitching, so I cracked on with a couple of small projects, till I feel ready to get back to the slate frame. I am off later today to see a very good friend of mine whose going to look at my shoulders and see what the issues are, and she's also just completed a several years in the making course, huzzah. I wanted to take a little something to celebrate this, so I delved into my favourite cross-stitch book and whipped up a little dotty heart in suitable Jenny colours, and turned it into a tag for a wrapped gift. I think I will be making a few more of these to adorn Christmas gifts because nothing beats a tag that actually can be kept.

I also finished another bauble and listed it today, in rather glam red and gold. With one complete in this colour way I really should make a few more, especially if I am aiming to do a Christmas market this year, though with dodgy shoulders I am getting behind with other projects....so we'll have to wait and see.


Really, really love this book


Can't beat brown paper.

A little square which I simply sewed through stranded cotton, almost turning into a slider and tied it round the package, which means it can be used for something else, she's a crafty lady too.


Another project, but this is about as much as I am going to show at the moment, as this is for another special friend of mine, fingers crossed I get this worked in time, again it's from the same cross stitch book as the heart was. 

Tomorrow I hope to have a little Halloween tutorial, something silly, hope you all have a good day.

Want it Wednesday: A little bit more Organised

This is a very simple Want it Wednesday. I've been uber forgetful of late and this has meant so many birthday cards have been neglected to be popped into the postbox, despite having the cards ready to post. So next year I am aiming to be more on the ball - fingers crossed! I think this friendly calendar will do the job nicely!

Birthday Calendar


What have you been uber forgetful about lately?
