New Years Eve and Sparkler Fun

Creative Thursday

My mum came to visit the other day and brought me a lovely big stash of threads and needles that my grandma used to own. Don't they all look pretty together! Now I actually need to do some sewing at some stage to use my massive thread collection, but not until I have finished my current projects. I always start too many things at one time and take forever to finish them.


Speaking of current projects, I have decided to cut out the rest of my cupcake lino prints to make them into gift tags. I still need to hole punch them all - but would you believe I don't have a hole punch?! What kind of stationery lover am I?


Another ongoing project is my cross stitched chicken and it is getting there slowly. I hope to have it finished by next week and I must say I am looking forward to having it over and done with.
