Making Merry.....Happy Hearts......

Project today....Making heart decorations!

I was thinking of putting the ribbon that says Merry Christmas on them too but I think they look quite nice as they are...maybe I will do a few of each.....

The 'pot pourri'I am making is in a big wooden 'vat' with essential oils, rosehips, mini cones and cinnamon sticks, I am going to leave it until the first week in December then put it in cello bags and decorate.....

Off to a friends tomorrow to have a Christmas Card making morning!

Then next on the list- Sewing!

I am going to have a go at making some little gift sacks out of some of the huge amount of  Christmas material I seem to have collected over the years....

Any tips for doing the drawstring bit?

Warm Wishes,

Market Day.....

 

Hello, as some of you know I have been doing Topsham Craft Market once a month for over a year now, so in the lead up to Christmas  I thought I should try a few others too.
So on Thursday this week I did Chudleigh with my Handmade Soaps and Pot-Pourri...

And  today- another new experience- Newton Abbot Market!!

Learning to self promote!.....
