Reading, Reading Reading
















A belated Merry Christmas and a timely Happy New Year to all. This Christmas has been quite the hybernation for me and my Noisy boys - I think we are just at that time though where cabin fever might now be setting in as the wee boy has been a joyous mix of cranky/nutty! He has been an absolute diamond though for the last week so all is forgiven for at least one day. The boys are in fact out to give mum a little bit of peace and quiet - sigh!! The bump has been wriggling around lots this week - enjoying all the Christmas sugar I am sure - so I am looking forward to curling up on the sofa and devouring all my Xmas books!!

I was so lucky to receive 4 craft / studio /gorgeous home books. Handmade Home Living with Arts and Crafts has already been read cover to cover with drooling over photos and now I think I will ogle over peoples studio spaces - before I digest Ms Kirstie Alsopp's craft book - that is linked to her Channel 4 craft series in the UK.

I also wanted to share with you a picture of some fabulous designs done by a family just before Christmas. A mum and her wonderful noisy boys (she has 3!) all came round to print on some adult aprons I had made for them to give to their families. They were such fun to work with and each had made their own stamp to add to the designs. I was really impressed I have to say - what say you? I hope the grandmas and aunties were delighted!!
