Anyone got matchsticks?

Happy Monday everyone - the start of a good week I hope.  However - has anyone got any matchsticks so I can keep my eyes open????  Busy busy all weekend and think I am running on empty now.

Took deliveries, bought more supplies, made stuff all weekend and then the dreaded school run today - James' first day in full time school.  I was absolutely fine and he just ran in without a backwards glance and came out so excited and asked if he can go again!!!  I must say I felt lost without him and was clock watching from lunchtime.  I had forgotten what a quiet house is as I didn't hear a peep out of William today.


Yes, I know you have seen these before.  BUT WAIT - who is that at the top right???  A new Santa decoration I have been working on.  Just this one has been made so far as I have been playing around with a design for about 2 weeks now trying to get it right and I actually really like him now so think I will be going with this.  Making a batch of these has now been added to that ever growing "to do list"!


The above is a bespoke card order I had just before the weekend.





These are some of the things I had delivered end of last week and the weekend.  Lots of wonderful things to keep me going.  I also got lots and lots of bias binding, 4 big bags of filling, other ribbon, more felt, and other bits and pieces.  Postman got fed up of knocking my door I think as he was also coming here with presents (ready for Christmas)!!

I have another two lots of bunting to finish and other orders for decorations, mini aprons, tote bag - here's a sample tote bag I have made: -




The last two pics are of a needle book I have made.  Sorry about the naff photos - the lighting was seriously bad when I took them.  Will post better pics another time.

That is it from me today.  Got lots planned so hope to be back next time with more pics xxx
