Grandma's Birthday presents

I am slowly getting the rest of my presents made for my Grandma's 80th birthday next week....were my parents house is going to be invaded by family from Scotland. And my Mum wants me to make everyone a keep sake, which I haven't even though about yet, but at least the presents are coming together.

So along with the unfinished wall hanging shown in Exciting button day. I have made her a covered note book.

I really hope she likes it.

Now the rest of my shopping has now arrived which was a nice surprise when I got back from a few day working in London. Amusingly my Dad opened it thinking that it was for him, unsurprisingly he was less than impressed with lots of bits of material hehe.

Only problem is they are to pretty to use.

Exciting button day

Buttons arrived today uber excited they are so pretty.

The parcel arrived from Blooming Felt this morning it was so pretty I had to take a photo :). I could not believe how quickly they arrived very impressed, and they also sent me a lovely e-mail saying that they were on the way and to let them know when they arrived. How nice is that!!!

The buttons were really varied and colorful. This is defiantly a much better way of getting buttons than choosing them individually.










Lots and lots of buttons :) childish moment I know just couldn't help myself.

Anyway the serious stuff its my Grandma 80th birthday next week so I have started on her present.

Its a Cath Kidston design from her book Make! (with some of my lovely new buttons) and it will have the date and her name on at the bottom and be framed.

Shopping Spree

In the past week I haven't made anything except were friends I have been visiting started their sentences with 'you can sew right?' Its been a good week gallivanting before starting my job next week :) but to make up for my lack of productivity I've been on a shopping spree today. NEW FABRIC (well almost new) from The Vintage Felt Market

They are beautiful I so can't wait till they arrive. I have no idea what I am going to do with these but woooooop. 

(All the pictures are from the order so not mine)

The problem then stared that I was having to much fun looking at pretty things that I found the Blooming Felt website and more pretty button and ribbon shopping happened. So feeling a bit poorer but very excited I think I better go and get on with some coursework.

Handbag charm

Today I had a lovely shopping trip with my sister, where we spent way to much money but I bought a lovely new handbag. Which in typical me style needs a few personal touches so starting with a handbag charm.

I had the clip from a charm I bought a few years ago but it needed a few beads and pretty things.

I love it so starkly and pretty :) xxx
