Stuck for gift ideas for Christmas? I've got some fun suggestions for you … especially the last one on the list!!  

There is still lots of time to snail mail your Christmas cards and these fun ones are from Able & Game.

Why not wrap those gifts in a re-useable wrapping cloth! This one is from Tabitha Eve Co.

Make & hang this adorable Santa stocking from FTH International.

And if you want to really score points with the best present ever .. then do what I did and get your guitar loving bloke a 'build your own guitar kit'!  I bought one for my hubby for his birthday, it was declared the Best.Gift.Ever. and has been 'playing' with it every night for months!  Grab a kit from here.  ...you can thank me later!!

Tiny shoes for tiny feet

Today we detour from crafty stuff to feet. Well, tiny feet. You see, my lil girl has tiny feet (only 12cm long) and when I want to buy her shoes, I can only find soft-soled shoes when I actually need proper shoes (with hard-soles) for walking on all sorts of surfaces just not on carpet.

Hang it.

Have you seen this website called Minted? It has the cutest art prints like the one above and the ones below.
I am particulary taken with this one (below) as it's something I chant every time I step out of the front door & I've noticed my husband does it too!  Do you have a similar chant?

Getting ready for that day in December

As time ticks by closer to Christmas, I suddenly to decide to jump in and start knitting (yet) another project, justifying it by saying that is a) using up yarn from stash & b) it'll be a present for someone.

So now that I have faffed around with my new project & convinced you, yet again, that I am possibly mad...  let's talk Christmas presents!

Check out this awesomeness!

So, I was surfing the internet and I stumbled upon the most awesome embroidery artist! Now don't just *yawn* at the word embroidery - nope. Check out her creations, they will make you go "wow!"

So I was looking online for Christmas gifts the other day & I came across these......

Oh my, this is a cushion...  how awesome is that! Plus, they have heaps more, check them out!
