I seem to have a thing for cushions...

Not sure how that happened, but it's my 'thing' at the minute. I think it's because cusions are relatively easy to make with a small amount of fabric and they can change the look of a room with minimum effort (my favourite amount of effort). Saying that, this one was not exactly quick, I have been dipping in and out of it since December but it's finally finished:

As soon as it was done I raided the button stash and came across these,


I recieved these from the lovely Amanda last year and have been keeping them for the ideal project, well I think this is it ~ thanks Amanda xx

Talking of gifts from lovely ladies I received this on friday from the uber talented Jackie ~ Sew Special Bears, I have had my eyes on one for a while but never got round to buying one, isn't it special and just in time for valentines too.


Besides this was the most precious handcrafted card made by Jackie ~ I adore this!

It it currently sat on my 'messy' shelf (kids words,not mine) with all my favourite bits and bobs on it ~ thanks agan Jackie xx


My hubbie and I don't really 'do' valentines day, I don't like the whole commercial turn it has taken, but we will get loved up and share a movie and a cuddle tomorrow night; so I hope you all have a loving day whether it's with a significant other or just the cat; give some love ~ and (in the words of the Indigo Girls)love will come to you!

~ ♥ With Valentine Love ♥ ~

~ ♥ Happy New Year ♥ ~

Happy New Year lovely ladies ~ did you celebrate in style, or did New Year just creep in and sit at the back. However you did it, it's here and it's time to shake ourselves off, make a few resolutions, give thanks for the good bits, of which blogging was one of mine.

Huge thanks to you all for following, commenting and encouraging my crafty makes.

Over the last few weeks I have recieved some fab bits and bobs from some lovely blogging ladies and wanted to share them with you.

Here we have some lovely pay it forward gifts from Crafty Helen at Home (can't link as Helen has since deleted her blog), that I had signed up to earlier this year, I had forgotten all about this so this was a real suprise:

This bundle of treausre is from the lovely Alex, I adore the fabrics and little bows and ribbons, right up my street ~ thanks honey!

Some lovely handmade Christmas bits from my friends Pene, Lynda, Amanda and Annie ~ thanks again lovely ladies!

Isn't blogging just amazing? Well I am back on the wagon and will be posting again, I have been crafting over this festive period and will update you in the coming days.

Love to you all.

~ ♥ Back Soon ♥ ~
