Pretty Things!

Here are a couple more presents I've made recently:

A linen pouch for my mum for her birthday:


A Christmas Mugrug set for a friend who LOVES Christmas!


Thank you for all your lovely comments encouraging me to take time out to notice lovely things around me.

Here are 2 pics which brought a smile to my face yesterday.

Our garden at this time of year looks pretty sad as everything seems to be dying back & mulching down.  But there is one wee splash of colour still hanging on among all the drab browns!


And my youngest made me laugh yesterday when she got changed after school into an outfit which almost exactly matched mine (even down to the hair clip)!


I hope you notice some lovely things today!

  9. I noticed how dark it is now at 4:30 when I walk home from work and thought that I would like a sprinkling of snow to go with the gorgeous new lights on the magnolia trees in front of the library to 'festive' the place up a bit!

    I love the linen bag with the yummy colours and BUTTONS!! Delicious :)
