Last weekend I went to my good friends baby shower.  I made her this simple little card and

a towel and washer set with a sweet bird applique on it but  forgot to take a photo to show you.  For a while now I have been wrapping up my presents in simple plain coloured paper or brown recycled paper, nothing too fancy but with some string or a bow I love how it looks.  When I was wrapping I thought I might add a bow this time and after some searching found this tutorial to make my own homemade bow. 

I used kraft cardstock but you could use old magazines, newspaper, or  old wrapping paper.  The cardstock was a bit stiff to use so I think a heavy paper would suit best.

Speaking of presents, last week I was lucky enough to be chosen as the winner of a giveaway over at Plushka's Craft. 

My sweet package was delivered to me on Saturday, the beautiful fabric and sweet fabric buttons were wrapped up in a red bow, it felt like Christmas, I felt very lucky.

My Christmas cards are in the mail today and tonight I'll be in front of my sewing machine hopefully finishing off a couple of presents for Christmas. What have you been up to today?

Thanks for stopping by and for all the new people who have joined my little blog I hope you enjoy visiting and I feel chuffed you've decided to stay.

Talk again soon.
