Warm winter thoughts...

Rumour has it that it's going to be bitterly cold in the UK this winter, and as one news article put it, 'The coldest winter in modern times'! Well, I am bracing myself for the cold snap that is to come, and I fill my mind with thoughts of cosy evenings spent by candlelight, to banish any gloominess that might be induced by nights drawing in, cold, grey skies and shorter days...Of course, there will be food, and cocktails...

There will be project planning, and making...

In the mean time, little Christmas touches are slowly sneaking into the house... Too early? I think not!

I know it's been very quiet here, but it is a busy time for me and my trusty Elna. I am sewing up a storm, and I've had to close my order book as my fingers and sewing foot can't keep up!

I am making an army of these...

When I really long for more time to make more of these...

But, Christmas is coming, and with it hopefully a time of rest, peace and memory making with the kiddies...This year we'll be doing things a little differently, but more on that next time. For now, I wish you wonderfully warm winter thoughts!

Blessings, Tania ♥

Goodbye October...Hello November

Hello my lovelies! I have been very lazy, I know...I come to this little corner of my life with feather duster in hand to shoo away the cobwebs! I don't really know why I've neglected writing to you. Life has a way of twisting this way, then rambling down another lane, and somehow I just get a little lost in it all. This time of year always seem busy, but my little sewing business is really taking off as orders are flooding in, and needless to say there just aren't enough hours in the twenty four that we've been granted per day. But, while I'm lingering here, I'd just like to say a BIG thank you to all the lovely comments you've left on here, and a warm welcome to all new followers. I haven't been able to reply to all your wonderful comments, but I assure you that I have read every single one of them, and they have warmed my heart!

Now, do you think it's too early to talk and think Christmas? I think not! Just yesterday we took a trip down to 'The Big Smoke' (London!) for our annual visit to the 'Country Living Christmas Fair'. I get giddy with excitement every year at the mere thought of exploring all the wonderful delights on offer by artists, artisans and sellers.

One of my favourite exhibitors is the lovely Stephanie from My Sweet Fairy, who creates the most delightful polymer clay fairies and pixies. I just couldn't resist this little fella, a cute brooch to brighten up my coat! Why not pop over and give her a cheery hello!

Here are just a few pictures of the sewing that has kept me busy...

I have a mountain to get through, and I have a feeling I'll be doing a few night shifts to accomplish just that! So for now...

At times I feel completely overwhelmed by the demands of life, and a little scared that I am juggling with too many balls...they might just all drop on the floor! So, for a little inspiration I leave you with this thought...

Just keep on singing!

Blessings, Tania ♥♥♥
