A simple little something - in between sewing bunting strings yesterday I suddenly got that festive feeling! So fashioned a mini gingham wreath, adorned with buttons and ribbon. Perfect for door handles or drawer knobs to add a Christmassy feel to every room in the house...Advent is nearly upon us! xx

Time flies!…well it certainly is true that time flies when you're having fun (and still trying to keep up with 3 children and set up a little business!). The school year is well and truly underway and we had a fab Halloween - the whole village (almost!) came out to join in the fun! We had pumpkins galore and fabulously decorated houses and more that 80 witches and monsters calling for treats, the sweets and glow-sticks ran out very quickly!
And now is the time to really focus on Shire Crafts. I have already done a couple of pre-Christmas craft fairs which is always fun and a great opportunity to look at other great hand-crafted products. And today things picked up a pace as I went out with a photographer friend of mine to try and get some fab pictures of my goodies in the fading Autumn light. So hopefully in the next few days we'll start gathering some photos and the serious business of website building can really begin....Rome wasn't built in a day - these things take time!! xx
