I feel like Santa!....

And no not just because I have a beard growing and a jelly belly....only kidding...he he

But because I know my first 'Festive Giveaway' gift has arrived so I can blog about it and show you what I sent....

The talented Cathy at Potter Jotter won the New England style gift...

  I checked in with her first to ensure we were thinking along the same lines regarding style and colour,so I put together a lovely Sally Swannell card,giftwrap and tag called 'Christmas Eve',then added a wooden snowflake,a wooden reindeer,handmade heart and a soft decoration with holly on it....

 Then wrapped it in country style tissue and tied it all up with a cream wooden heart decoration...

I got a gorgeous email today to say it had arrived and I think she liked it!

Ooh I love playing Father Mother Christmas!!!

Warm Wishes,

Callie

Well we are getting there.....

Merry and Magical is coming along....

It has been hard work getting The Studio (which now has a name) ready...

We thought it was an appropriate name for a place that I will be crafting in with friends and family.... 


''The Gathering Room''

I happily chose The Studio because it is up in the eaves of the building- not really considering the fact that it is two flights of stairs to get to the view and peace!!

So my back is feeling the results of that decision! As is my ever supportive Husbands'....

Anyway here are some photographs of our progress so far...

 General View....

Feeling Festive....

Country Dresser....

 The Pink Corner.....

My Husband is busy working on the Website and on-line shop- which he is doing himself-I think it looks lovely and I hope that you will like it too.....

Still lots more to do before the 27th September when we will be open....

Warm Wishes for a Wonderful Week,
