And the countdown is on, yesterday I posted a very sweet tutorial suitable for the small people in the family that I found on The Crafty Crow - well worth a look, packed with lovely colourful ideas for children and families....plenty of ideas to come!
Hoping to get lots done today on this lovely bright autumnal morning!

100 days to go

100 Days to go

That's right people, today is the start of the Christmas countdown at my craft table, this year (yet again) I have decided to be more organised with my crafty preparations - make as many Christmas gifts as possible / try and purchase handmade items from local crafters and producers / spend time with the family preparing together and having lots of fun, working on seasonal projects etc..
There will be lots of photo's to follow in the next few weeks - also news on Lilyshaw Christmas stock.

Summer Activities

Making the most of the little bursts of sunshine, our Backyard Festival was a great success, I even quite enjoyed sleeping in the tent with JP and FP for the week, lots of family fun......this weekend saw our traditional Harry Potter Fest - all the movies in two days, brill as ever, we've enjoyed a little family walking and numerous picnics down on the allotment.....Hoping for a family gathering with the cousins soon, which JP is especially  looking forward to as he gets a bit tired of hanging around with us girls all the time....Trying to make time for plenty of crafting also- knitting for a new baby and working on new ideas for the next Craft Fair in September.........

Welsh Cakes - delicious!
