When is too soon for Christmas...??

 
 
 
I frikking love Christmas.....no...thats not strong enough...wait...I LOVE CHRISTMAS, But I also appreciate that there are those people out there who loahe every crappy Christmas card posted through their letterbox and can´t wait till the whole thing is over with and they are lugging the Christmas box back up to the loft for another year. So...with that in mind, I started to thinking..when is too soon???
 
I cater a lot for the American market as well as the UK and European market and with America having thanksgiving and a lot of people putting their tres and decorations up early, I always start that Little bit earlier with advertising my Christmas stock. I think part of me just loves the build up to the big day. As kids we never really had much, but my mum would always make it this magical and fantastic day anyway, I have her to thank that the magic hasn´t ever really gone away :)
So the Christmas stock is out. I´m really sorry to the people who wish it wasn´t...I wish I could sprinkle some of my Christmas fairy dust on you and (although I agree that Christmas is over commercialized nowadays), help you to see it isn´t about that - it´s about family, love, time together and "making that extra special bit of an effort" with people you don´t always have time for.
Mmmmm Christmas....... :)

Guilty feelings....

 
 
Okay...so I started feeling bad. It´s been such a long time since I posted anything and made new stock, well...actually....I have made new stock, but I have been very bad and not shared it with you lovely people :( I´m so sorry! BAD SAM!
So...here are my most recent makes (I totally love them). Felt is by far, my most favourite fabric to work with, most of the things in my shop are felt, but occasionally....just occasionally....I move back to lovely soft fabrics.

To blog...or not to blog...that has been my question!

WOW! It has been well over a year since I last "blogged" and what a year it has been!!!!
It is amazing how much your life can change in 12 months!!!

I was all set to return home to the rainy UK, when I found the love of my life, (in actual fact I found him a loooooong time ago when I first came to live in Spain and we have been friends all these years...but this is a long story!!!) and within one year we have moved in together and got engaged and then only last month we had a truly magical wedding here in Girona....right in the middle of the forest surrounded by the people we love the most, it was amazing. Check out what a lucky girl I am...how hot is my husband!!!??? :)
 
 
So...as you can see my life has been very, very full and busy in the last year....I hadn´t forgotten you....just put you slightly to aside for a while, but I can assure you you will be hearing a lot from me super soon...I have lots and lots of plans for the shop ;)

I hope you all have been having a fantastic year as well!!!
