New Swaps for 2013

I love taking part in swaps and I have signed up for two fabulous swaps to kick start 2013.

The first one is hosted by Shelley over at All4meggymoo (which is a new blog for me) and is the

I Love Hearts Swap

The idea of this one is to send 5 heart themed goodies, one of which must be handmade.

The closing date for this one is midnight tomorrow so you need to be quick if you would like to sign up.

The second one is an Springtime/Easter Swap organised by Joy over at Daisy Row.

The idea is to fill a container, either 500g margarine tub or the much tastier choice of the 1 litre tub of ice-cream - that way not only do you get to make and fill it with lots of goodies but you also get to eat a lot of ice-cream! I digress back to the container you need to fill it with some craft goodies, some handmade goodies and some chocolate goodies. Now who doesn't like goodies!!

To take part in this one you need to pop over to Joy's blog and sign up by the 31st January.

So come on if you need to get your crafting mojo back or you would like to take part in your first swap pop over to these two wonderful blogs and get swapping!

Hi everyone, sorry I've not been around much lately, July was a busy month with school events, family life and with a lack of anything exciting to say this has kept me away from blogland, oh that and Big Brother and never being able to get a quiet minute on the computer!!
I have tried to keep up with all your goings on but with over 600 unread blog posts to read I might just have to bite the bullet and hit the mark as read button as I fear I might disappear under that momentous number at some point.
We (well the kids) had quite a few birthday parties to attend during July and I made several presents
A tiger themed personalised cushion - it took ages to sew around all those letters!

A personalised PE bag for a Scooby fan.

A fold over clutch make up bag and personalised initial fabric heart.

I'm finding that with the kids at home for the holidays my crafting time has pretty much stopped although I did manage a bit of a tidy up today in my workroom and as Rachel wants to earn some extra pocket money she is listing lots of destash items for me on eBay (for a percentage of the profits!)
So if you fancy some bag patterns, jewellery project books, fabrics and much more then take a look at my listings. We (I mean Rachel) will be listing lots more over the few days so keep popping in to see whats on offer.
