Fairytail of New York - The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl

We are learning this at choir at the mo. It's great fun full of love and hate plus it''s a classic Christmas song. I love singing the "You scumbag you maggot" bit which should go down well tomorrow when we sing for the lights switch on in Leighton Buzzard : )

It's a month away!

It's Christmas mode at home and work as I work on designs for Xmas 2015 and frantically start shopping lists and looking at my kids LONG wish lists. If you want to see a FABULOUS range of designs for all seasons pop along to Cinnamon Joe studios they have fabbidy stuff and are super friendly. For more info take a look here.

Moyo...

As always the latest Moyo magazine, issue 7, is full of great info. and inspiration. There's also a really great article on the fabulous Dashwood studios too. Take a look here, it's free : )

One of these days...

We went and saw Gaz Combes (ex frontman of Supergrass) last night in  a teeny tiny venue in Milton Keynes. Must have only been 200 people there. He crafts songs brilliantly, plays piano, guitar and drums. What a talent and what a great night.

Paper Christmas tree ...

...at the Royal Festival Hall. It looks fabulous.

Paper downloads from Homemaker Magazine

Homemaker magazine have added some of my paper designs as a download so you can print off as many sheets as you like for any of your craft projects. Take a look here and get downloading...

Time for tea

I've been experimenting with a bit of mixed media stitching. I have to admit I'm not sure about it. I normally like clean blocks of colour (I think this is a bit grey) but I have enjoyed trying something different and will defo do more and develop the idea : )

Sorry to bring up THAT day in December but if you fancy making something and getting festive why not make these? You get the kit when you buy Homemaker magazine. I'm really happy they decided to put my Little Trees on the front cover  : )
