...and i also would like to thank Alice for sending me a cute postcard from Paris! I'm so touched and Happy for her Big news! x

I've entered a lovely giveaway over at Bee Happy, Click the photo to go to her blog and enter the giveaway for a chance to win!

Overjoyed :)

My trip to London to meet a friend last saturday was successful and will do a separate post about it once my friend has uploaded the pics and share them with me as i had to use her big camera to take pics of her/for her. I spent my sunday relaxing as my feet were killing me after a whole day of walking around London and spent it drinking an awful lot of tea and wrote christmas cards that I posted on Monday. Yay! one job done :)

I came home from the post office yesterday to find two parcels on my doorstep, the sweet and lovely Bee Happy sent me not 1, not 2 but 6 beautifully wrapped christmas gifts to be opened on christmas day (Awww I can't wait!), and my Faithhopeandharityshopping Christmas Swap partner an alien world's package has arrived too, I can't wait to open all these beautifully wrapped gifts soon!Right now I've put all the gifts under my little christmas tree! I will do separate posts once i opened them :) Thank You Ladies, I'm overjoyed, over the moon!

on another note, I finished all items that i made for the craft fayre that i will be going this saturday (I can breathe now!). These christmas tree ornaments from felts are the last items i made using the tutorial from Mollie Makes Christmas issue, I bought the little christmas tree from sainsburys which i might take with me to the fayre, all i need to think about now is the bits and pieces to take with me such as paper bags and if i should bring my own tablecloth and how to display my items, but i'm glad now things are coming along together and can move on to do something else that i love, decorating the house!

Bird Brooches (Part Two)

After I've done my 1st batch of bird brooches in the previous post Here, I started the 2nd batch with different design, this time the bird is in the cage, well sort of anyway :)

Thanks to Zakkalife for sharing the tutorial on how to make these cuties. I only have 3 more items to make (10 each) then I'm done and i can start doing christmas decorations *hopefully*

I'm supposed to go to London today but my friend just replied my msg late last nite saying she could only meet me on saturday as she just booked a last minute day tour to Salisbury for today, Thanks God she let me know before i dashed out of the door this morning to take the train to london Victoria! She also said she cuts her holiday short and will be flying back to Indonesia on Sunday. Wish me luck that i wont get lost or having any kind of probs on my way to London for the first time on my own tomorrow and got back home safe and sound before dinner , if she doesnt cancel it again and says she cant meet me at all :)

Have a great weekend everyone!

Fun with Felts :)

I decided to use my felt stocks to make brooches, i'm glad i can manage to make 10 of these cute birds, i'm using the bird template from Cath Kidston Stitch book.

I'm in the process in making 10 more of a different bird design, so hopefully will be done today and off to do another craft project, maybe cushion heartshaped hanger, i dont know yet. I showed hubby of my brooch and his comment was, is it a penguin? *DOH* :)

I can't wait to finish everything so i can start on my christmas decorations, i see some of you have put up the christmas tree! accckk I'm sooo behind in this! My friend has arrived in London today and she's trying to lure me to accompany her galivanting around London coz she said it's no fun to go sightseeing alone. I don't think i can afford to pay the hotel and tickets to see Madame Tussauds, London Eye and a Harry Potter tour etc, so if I had to go, it'll probably just a day to spend walking around outside the Buckingham palace and Big Ben and taking her pics *sigh*

I still haven't reply her and she knows that i'm the type who can't say NO, i'm thinking like maybe this is also a way of saying she doesnt want to go all the way to my place if I said Yes to meet her and accompany her in London? I'm feeling rather unmotivated now :(

will keep you posted about this but meanwhile these cute bird brooches cheered me up a little. :)
