Morning all!

Christmas is in full swing in my studio, I just finished filling & wrapping the advent trucks for my nephews, nothing like leaving it 'til the last minute. Tonight my friend is coming to my studio for sewing club - there's only two of us, it's the most exclusive club there is! I shall be attempting to make (& design) my oldest nephew's nativity outfit.

Today I will also be blushing madly. I helped Karen from Did You Make That out a tiny little bit this week with her blog header, it was nothing really, and then she said some very nice things about me. I get embarrassed really easily, this is perhaps a strange attribute in a blogger, but I will own my praise & I would like to say thank you for the lovely words. I'm just happy to be of use in some way!

 Happy Wednesday - halfway to the weekend xo K

The best way to spend a Sunday

Yesterday I ventured to Tooting for the first Got Craft? fair held in London, and it was LOVELY!

It was my first time at the venue (Tooting Tram & Social), I thought it was a great space. And I think that every craft fair should have a bar!

On top of the fabulous location, Got Craft? was full of very sweet, very talented vendors! These were some of my favourites:

Hannah Melin

Robin & Mould

Tilly Flop Designs

The Aviary

And my absolute favourite - Pretty Zoo, I bought this ring from her and it is by far my favourite piece of jewellery, I'm in love with it. It is no exaggeration when I say I could have bought everything on her stall.

Perfect Sunday!

I hope you had a good one.

Weekly Web Watch #9

No time to sit in Starbucks for a couple of hours today, so I'm taking away. Wearing my new favourite outfit, flamingos and stripes, what more could a girl want?

Have you seen this? Transparent white board paint on Design Sponge, this changes everything! The possibilities!

This polaroid ornament DIY is so cute, I wish my family had similar taste to me, these would make great Xmas gifts. Posted by Miss Indie, tutorial by Katie Cupcake.

This is amazing. Found on Lotus Events' blog.

Loved this lazy girls guide to winter dressing on Retro Chick this week.

This puff sleeve tutorial Tilly posted today is great! I love a puff sleeve too, her self-drafted button back blouse is so pretty.

That's it, happy weekend! xo

This weekend I will mostly be...

And...

Anyone else going to Got Craft? in Tooting on Sunday? I'm really excited about it.

Wednesday WIP

I'm taking a break from the making because I realised December is fast approaching & I need to prep the advent trucks!

This is a tradition I started last year when I bought my nephews two advent trucks from Lakeland. I put a mixture of sweets, pound coins & "vouchers" in the drawers. The vouchers are for bigger wrapped presents (the drawers are too small to fit anything much bigger than a marble in). It went down really well last year and I hope to keep the tradition up until they're too cool for advent trucks.

Happy Wednesday xo
