Advent weekend

Hope you enjoyed receiving your Advent calendars and opening them this weekend.
We started opening ours on Saturday when we were all at home to appreciate them, so we opened Friday and Saturday's in one go!
I have a lovely fabric one that I bought for my daughter, Jennifer, when she was very young.
It was bought from a craft fair, I do like to support these fairs when people have put such effort into making wonderful handcrafted items. Such treasured makes add to the festive memories each year.
This year I decided to make a matchbox Advent, I've been wanting to do this for a while now and finally got around to doing it!
Really enjoyed making it and I was very happy with the result, It's filled with individually numbered, wrapped chocolates and a selection of different stud earrings.

All about Advent

Monday has rolled around again...
Hope you had a nice weekend, we were lucky with good weather here in Kent.
A couple of sunny, bright and colourful Autumn days.
To start the week here's a round up of our crafty day yesterday.
Our hall is called Jubilee Hall and we're known as the "Jubilee Crafter's"
Sounds about right as our crafty days are always special events!
So to get a head start on Christmas we made Advent Calendars.
We used the fabulous Tando Creative Advent Kit.
There's a few mini's left which are great additions to the kits,mill check the stock and add these to the site later today.
It was just perfect with lovely ladies and we welcomed five new members to our day of fun.
A warm welcome to Angela, Sandra B, Sandra H, Lola and our newest young crafter Roxi, who's one to watch with her amazing talent!
All the ladies did a wonderful job with personalising their Advents and each one is so different!
That's what I love at the end of the session, how creative everyone's been and how different the makes all look.
We were so spoilt and everyone went home with very full tummies after eating lots of cake!
Maureen and Pat treated us to homemade mini apple pies and bakewell tarts and Pat also presented me with a beautiful gift she'd decorated, the gorgeous candle. How kind and thoughtful is that.
Honestly ladies I couldn't be happier you are such a wonderful group and I'm so proud of what you achieve each session.
A super group of friends, thank you.
Here's a round up of the day in pictures.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today, I always appreciate you visiting.
Have a good day and I'll be back soon.
Much love and crafty hugs xxxx

Flowers from a friend and a peek at Christmas

Morning all,
Yay it's the weekend!
I'm so pleased as its been such a busy week, now some time to chill and catch up with family.
Have you anything nice planned?
Earlier in the week I caught up with my Bestie for lunch and she surprised me with beautiful flowers!


Now please forgive me for talking Christmas but it's now time to share...
I'm determined to crack the whip and get the ladies organised! Lol
In October we are making our Christmas project at the Kent workshop and I've already shared the sample pictures and info with our ladies.
We're doing an Advent Calendar and for my sample I wanted to show a more adult grown up or older child theme.
I thoroughly enjoyed preparing this and I know the ladies are excited to get started now.
So I'll leave you with pictures and wish you a good weekend.
Thanks ever so for popping in, I really appreciate your visit.
