What we've been up to...

...oh my it's been super busy here the last few weeks...I'm sorry I've been such an absent blogger!

There are so many things I've wanted to blog about, just haven't had the time...so here's a little catch up for you...

We went to Handm@de Cambridge last weekend, which was fabulous thanks to the very lovely Alice at Snap Dragon Beads.  But I was rubbish and didn't take any pictures, but I did purchase some goodies!

The little ceramic hearts are from HodgePodgeArts and the little bell is from Emma Passey Design, who was on the stall behind us.  Her work was absolutely amazing!  My favourite of her pieces on display was this beautiful plate with a tea cup in it! 

Then during the week, my little ninjas were featured in one of etsy's finds emails!  It was all very exciting!  I hadn't even noticed (how rubbish am I?!) but the lovely Mel from feltmeupdesigns pointed it out to me.  I don't think it would have taken me long to notice that something was up mind, as the rest of the night was sheer madness!!

As a result there has been a whole lot of this...

...and this little boy has been an absolute angel!  I may have been completely distracted and running around like crazy the last couple of weeks, but he has kept his beautifully calm nature throughout, despite being dragged half way across the country and back on trains and been made to attend craft fair after craft fair, spending the day perched on my knee smiling at strangers and bringing custom to our stall!! He's sat in that high chair chatting away to me whilst I've spent hours trapped on the computer and as you can see he has been the perfect little parcel packing helper.  He is a very special little babe that one.

This weekend we were in Bristol for the folk house flea market (by the way if you do live in Bristol-you absolutely should visit the cafe there-the food was amazing!)...we caught the train there with the super talented Bex and El from StuffedNonsense who's stall looked fantastic at the beginning of the day-but very empty at the end! Again I didn't take any pictures-I'm not quite sure what has happened to my usual over excessive picture taking!

At some point somewhere (I'm not entirely sure how) I managed to make a little bit of a start on one of my christmas presents!

I intended on making alot if not all of my presents this year, but well it just is not possible!  Fortunately I delved into the wonderful world of etsy and folksy and have a lovely little selection of gifts on their way or being made up special!  The next few days of post should be very exciting indeed!

So well that is a little of what we have been up to...I'm afraid my crafting 365 has got a little lost-I assure you I have been doing the crafting everyday-I just haven't been quite as good as usual at doing the photographing!

All our craft fairs are done and dusted now-I still have a little parcel packing to catch up on-but otherwise the christmas holidays are well on their way to starting for us!  Tree tomorrow I think!
