On the Saturday 3rd December – i.e. this coming Saturday – I’ll be holding a stall at the Aberdour Christmas Fayre organised by the Aberdour Primary School Parents Association. This is being held in the Aberdour Community Centre on Shore Road (where the Library is) and the doors open to the public at 10am and close at 2.30pm – so you’ve got 4½ hours to come and do some Christmas shopping.

I saw these buttons on eBay recently and just couldn’t resist getting a few packs. They’re so lovely and perfect for this time of year – if it’s going to snow for real, at least I can have a little snow in my life anyway.

Jessica over at How About Orange is a total genius. I was flicking through my favourite blogs last week and stumbled across her latest tutorial and just had to share it with you here on my blog. It’s brilliant. It’s so simple too – once you know how and thanks to Jessica spending ages figuring it all out, you don’t have to – just follow the instructions and away you go…

Remember the gift tags I made last Christmas? The ones made from recycled Christmas Cards? Well I’ve just got into making them again this year in readiness for Christmas Craft Fairs and Sales. I know it seems bizarre as it’s only September, but this year I want to be organised and make things slowly and gradually and regularly rather than having one big mad rush of making later on in the year. I’m also hoping that I’ll be getting some wholesale orders soon, so there’s that to think about and plan for as well.

At the end of last year and beginning of this year I appealed to you to send me your Christmas cards so that I could recycle them and make them into lovely gift tags to sell. In exchange for any donations I promised that I would send out free gifts. Well believe it or not, I’m only just getting round to doing this now!.

I’d like to say a big thank you to all the lovely people out there who have taken the time to pack up their Christmas cards and send them on to me. I’ve received loads of parcels over the past few weeks and have now got tons of cards to make stuff from. I wasn’t expecting many and I’ve been overwhelmed with what has arrived – it’s brilliant.

Just before Christmas I packed up all my stock and craft fair display items and put most of the boxes up in the loft to get them out of the way. I moved the rest of the stuff out of my studio too, as we’re going to be laying the new floor soon as well as finishing off the walls so that I can move back in properly and get organised and get my work life back to normal. Anyway, the point of this story is…

Well it’s here at last! I’m saying Happy Christmas today as it’s Christmas Eve and as a Pole I celebrate Christmas Eve rather than Christmas Day – this works very well in the Milo/Andrews household as we get to have two Christmases – a Polish one on the 24th and an Irish one on the 25th and we meet in the middle by opening our presents at midnight tonight. I can’t wait.

This year I’ve been giving out lots of the glass stars I made in my stained glass nightclass – all made from scraps of glass too small for main projects. I’ve handed them out to friends and asked them all to make a wish upon each star this Christmas… We’ve got one hanging up in the living room and tonight I made my wish…

I love wrapping presents, but I don’t like buying fancy wrapping paper. I love wrapping my presents with pages from magazines and stuff like that. But one thing that I do have a particular fetish for is plain brown wrapping paper – but no-one [apart from me] wants to get a Christmas pressie wrapped in brown wrapping paper, so why not add a little bit of recycled bling by making some of these paper bows.
