a clear vision for craft

I’m loving the promo pack that arrived today in my mailbox from Expertise Events and had to share.

We’ll be exhibiting at ‘craft shows’ again next year, first show for the year for us will be the CraftExpo, Newcastle, February 19 – 21. I’m looking forward to it!

Do you have any ‘clear visions’ for 2010 and feel like sharing, then leave a comment, are you making ‘new years resolutions’ or giving them the flick this year!

Crochet-Along

I’m joining in with Kate + Amy over the holidays with Lets make 7.

You can see who else is hooking these holidays over here!

festive jaffas

Thanks goes to Donna for this grand idea, you’ll need 1 packet of Jaffas + 1 glass bowl, I used an ice-cream sundae bowl.

Simply empty a packet of red Jaffas into a bowl, and voila! one sweet table decoration. I popped a sprig of holly in for good measure.

why stop at one bowl…

and then by chance I spotted a bunch of cream and red carnations in the distance at the supermarket last night, swiftly I swooped upon them and popped them in my trolley. Nice and festive!

card wreath

I received my first Christmas card in the mail yesterday, bless my Nan, she does like to get her cards out early!

I’m thinking Martha Stewart’s ‘card wreath‘ would be perfect for displaying this years cards.

And on a completely unrelated subject Pantone has just declared Turquoise as the colour for 2010! I can live with that, love a splash of Turquoise!
