Happy new year!

The perfect companion for those cosy wintery nights curled up on the sofa.

Some bits and bobs I made for Louise (with a few extra little things I got via the creative peeps at the Poundshop)

Homemade goodies I gave to my nearest and dearest for Christmas

So, I almost kept the promise I made here on this blog in November to make everyone's Christmas presents, cards and wrapping paper this year.

Time ran away with me and with only a day to go, I hadn't made anything. Cue panic stations! Well, there's nothing like a tight deadline to get the creative juices flowing. So I put my prized collection of jars to good use and filled them with hot chocolate, homemade cookies, sweets and cowgirl cookie mixture. Typed labels, tags and Christmas wishes at great speed (spot the spelling mistakes!) and got them wrapped and under the tree just in time. I did end up buying a few things, but the homemade goodies went down really well, so I'm sure with a bit more time and better planning I can banish a dash down the high street on Christmas eve this year.

I also wanted to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who has supported us in the past year, we couldn't have done it without you. We love setting up these events and seeing what people create, whilst eating, drinking and being merry. The people who come and join in seem to enjoy it as much as we do, so it's smiles all round.

Here's to a very happy (and crafty) new year to one and all!
