Two shopping weeks left and I’m glad to say I’ve made a good start on buying presents for friends and family. Wrapping the presents and decorating the tree are two of my favourite parts of Christmas. My daughter is learning to play the piano and has been practising carols (every day!) so we can have a sing along on Christmas Day. This weekend I’m joining friends (thank you Kate) for a fun day making wreaths and other Christmas greenery with which to decorate the house. There are orange slices drying in the oven – mmm, lovely smell.

I’ve also been busy adding to my shops both here and at Folksy. The bag below is on Folksy and the notebook cover is here on my own site. Do check out my other items for sale.

The notebook is titled ‘Limestone and Lace’ – named by my husband. I may ask him to name all my items he does it so well.

One item I’d still like to buy is a notebook for my daughter. Preferrably textured, anything soft is always a big draw for her. So if anyone knows where I can find one do please let me know. And no, she doesn’t like pink. Acceptable colours are purple, blue, green and orange, or so I’m told.
