Country Christmas Tree Hangers

Some cute little hanging decorations for the tree, or leave the hanger off and stuff with lavender for a drawer sachet.

Not just another pretty purse

Super gorgeous, and totally functional too!

Inside is a phone pocket, a zippered space for smaller bits & pieces and a key fob (I can never find mine in my bag).

Turn a Round Tablecloth into a Skirt!


I don't know how many times I've seen a tablecloth and thought the pattern was wasted under the plates & spills.

Thank you wipster, I love this idea!
I'm going right out now to buy me a new tablecloth skirt  :D

Baby Kimono

Wren just turned ten, which was a bit of a shock to the system, I can tell you.

So I no longer have babies, but I can start planning what my grandchildren will wear, can't I??
