Hey lovelies!
We've been a bit quiet again but I promise we have lots of things in the works. I am working on a new crochet hat pattern/tutorial but I'm lacking the commitment to finish typing up and proofing the pattern to make sure it makes sense to people other than myself! We also have a few food blog posts lined up including Kristy's awesome Carbonara recipe. I have eaten this dish again and again at her house and it seriously delish so look out for that one. But more on that at a later date I am sure.
I'm just back from a wonderful week away at the Valla Rod Run. It was a week of rest, relaxation, rods, rockabilly and just plain fun. And lucky me I get to stay in holiday mode until next week when school goes back, even if I am back home and working my way back into reality. And part of that reality is the countdown the Christmas! Yep it has started already. Just so you know it is only 83 days!! This means it's time for me to get my thinking cap on and my mind into the crafty mindset, as I will be carrying on my tradition started last year of giving handmade gifts. That means that I first have to decide what I am going to make for my family and friends, and this is where Pinterest comes in! I seriously don't remember how I found inspiration, tutorials and patterns before Pinterest but this year I already have an ever expanding board of Christmas gift ideas. Have you started thinking about Christmas yet? I must admit that all this thought about Christmas has gotten me a little excited. I love Christmas, I love the family time we have, I love having everyone gathered around tables for the huge lunch, I love the post lunch lull in the afternoon where everyone is relaxing and I love the games and leftovers of the evening. Tell me what are your favourite parts of Christmas?
But before I start on the Christmas gifts I have a gift swap gift to make and 2 birthday presents for my Mum and Sister in law next week. I still have no idea what I am going to make for 2 of those 3 gifts so I guess I had best get back to searching for ideas!
Oh we also have a new Pinterest account devoted to Sweet Blossoms Handmade, so pop over and follow us.
