Getting organised for Christmas

I know, I know, some of you are shouting but its not even Halloween.  You see, its like this. Im always leaving things to last minute, almost running out of time to make my christmas cake and forget to make cards and mean to get round to adding the extra little special touches to gifts and things but run out of time.  so this year Im going to get organised.  Now to get organised, I needed to make a Christmas Planner and to have it ready to be planning for Christmas I thought it best to start making it now.  So here is the first stage to getting organised.  Ive made a front page for my Christmas Planner 2012.  I hope to make my own pages and use my bind it all to complete the book.  I have my ideas of what I want my pages to look like but Im always open to ideas, oh yeah and if anyone has any ideas how I can protect my cover from getting ruined as I will be using this book please feel free to comment :)  T x

new birthday card

Here is the birthday card I have just made for my dad.  It took alot of shuffling and changing my mind of the background colours but I think it turned out not too bad. :) T x

where's the sun gone???????

Well folks, finally I have set up my new sewing machine and run up something simple but quite effective. My seams are not even at all or whatsoever. It took a bit of fiddling but I finally got there :) Im sooooo looking foward to having more time to do bigger and better projects. Christmas is going to be soooo much fun this year :)

My new books :) two sewing books and two crochet.  Now all I need is time to actually make something from them lol

Hi to anyone who notices this post.  I am back, bigger and better than ever :)  Today I brought home a very early birthday present from my mum.  thanks mum.  My mum has bought me a, drum roll please............................................... a sewing machine :) its a janome 2050 and I am very excited about using it.  I have only just taken it out of the box, it has not been set up yet.  I think I will leave that till I have more time to actually pay attention to what Im doing.  So watch this space.  Im expanding from just doing paper crafts to sewing projects :)

calendar challenge June

Wow half way through the year already. I hope you ladies are still enjoying doing this challange, I know Im way behind but I have every intention of getting back to doing this calendar soon as well as photographing what Ive done so far and post how Im getting on. Now June is half way through the year and is brought in with the star sign gemini, which is as we know is the twins. So I think the theme for june should be the number 2!.
