a christmas stocking... or two

so this year, even though I still have not put up a tree (I am saying that it is because Archie being not quite 18 months, and would destroy!), I have decorated the house in other ways. One is a lovely Eric Carle Advent calendar (gift from my loveliest if friends Michelle) and two - these stockings for my 2 boys. Now I would love to say that I made them, but alas I do not have that sewing skill that so many of my friends have, so I passed on this task to my adorable Mum, who produced these!
The fabric.... loving the fabric:
a. because it is red,
b. because it has typography on it and
c. beacuse it is created by the lovely Susan from spin spin handmade.  such a clever cookie! You can buy this from her etsy shop along with loads of other goodies.

merry merry and all that. xx

ps. the spotty fabric is from random fabric shop.

lucienne day.... gorgeous fabric, gorgeous colours

Wishlist... Nancybird

delicious, gorgeous nancybird. every now and again, you find a standout. now I know that this brand has been around for a little while, but i feel that its still worth mentioning because these pieces are just too lovely too ignore. xx

so again, it's been a long time in between drinks. you'd think, not hard to write a little something, pop up a pic or two. no, not hard, but sometimes other things get in the way. I have had a lot of things lately.
