I was going to wait 'til after christmas (CHRISTMAS! already!!) to start a blog, but im feeling all inspired by Kirstie's Homemade Home, Youtube, the festive season, but mostly from Lily Ribbons (who has a truly amazing crafty blog, go and have a look, you'll be as addicted as me!) so i couldnt wait to get started!
I heart this!
and despite having owned a sewing machine for around six months, its never been out of its box (i can imagine the gasps of horror from you crafty types!) and I dont actually know how to use it (im now hanging my head in shame) :(
My new best friend (hopefully!)
Now though, im determind to actually DO some crafts instead of just being jealous/admiring/lusting after other peoples beautiful creations, so i collected all my hard-earned (okay, items-sold-on-Ebay) money and went on a mad spending spree (on Ebay!)and im eagerly awaiting some 4'' fabric squares (yes, precut - im lazy!) so i can attempt to make a patchwork quilt, Again, inspiration stolen from Lily Ribbons, sorry Lily!
Keeping me company as i wrestle the sewing machine from its box (where is Simon when i need him?!) is my gorgeous pooch Lucy
My beautiful Lucy <3
I personally <3 the snow, it makes everything seem magical and christmassy!
I will try and include photo's at various stages of attempted projects, so you can follow my progress/mistakes ;)
***Apologies for the crap pictures and first post, im not very good at stuff like this, (internet shopping, easy peasy, blog-type stuff, erm, no), but il learn (hopefully!) so please bear with me :)
