I had a lovely day pottering around my shop today. I unpacked yesterday's arrival of "Blessings" from Moda and also some "Hushabye" - both are lovely ranges. I only have Hushabye in Jelly Rolls but have Blessings in Charm Packs, Jelly Rolls, Fat Quarter Packs and also on the Bolt.

It is a lovely warm range. I am thinking that I may use this range on Saturday when I attend Helen's Mystery Quilt Marathon.


This is another corner of my little shop. It is wooden apple cases which I picked up at an auction some time ago. I am almost ready to open the shop to the public 2 days per week.

Regular blog readers would know that I have been working on christmas gifts for a little while now and pulled out these fabrics ready for cutting. There is just something about red and green together isn't there? It just sings "Christmas".

Jenny over at Elefantz has designed a Christmas Stitchery Pack which she sells in her Etsy shop. This is a little project from that. I added sparkly green seed beads instead of french knots for something a little different.
These could be used to make small gifts for those of you that are involved in the advent swap. You could use them on the front of a note book or needle case or even on a little draw string bag filled with sweets. The ideas are endless. I have lots of things collected for my partner Lizzie and am really looking forward to watching her open her gifts each day.
Until next time,
Until next time,
HUGS,

I love how you've added the seed beads!!
Those fabrics ARE gorgeous. I'd be a mess if that were my shop...I'd be so bust oohing and aahing over everything, needing to touch it and play with it, that I'd never open the doors! ;-)
The fabrics are beautiful. I especially like the Christmas fabrics you are playing with, and those stitcheries are gorgeous.
Thanks for sharing.
Those fabrics are so pretty!
How do you choose when you have so many beautiful fabrics. When dh asks where have you been it is hard to say looking at fabric.Oh to be young and working again
The fabrics are beautiful!
