Tree Fall

It's Christmaaaaaaas!

Balance, balance, balance. It's always about balance. And at the moment there's not a lot of that around these parts.

I'm trying very hard to slow down and notice that it's Christmas. Especially as this is the first year that Lily really gets what it's all about and that Bella is really questioning it all and understanding that it's about more than just her presents.

 

 

I'm teaching right up until Christmas Eve, so fitting in the fun stuff is proving a challenge, but somehow I will take the girls to the Christmas market and take Bella Christmas shopping (it's the first year she's wanted to buy presents for everyone). And this Sunday we will have our annual Christmas party. And I will find time to cook for it. And we'll get to see Arthur Christmas at the cinema with friends.

 

 

Because I can always sleep next year.

 

 

A quick update...

 

There are some new braids in the shop right now.

If you're interested its worth bearing in mind that they tend not to hang around too long at the moment.

 

 

I love how big this 'skirt' is!

 

Compare to how tiny this one is!

It takes all types!

 

These and more are available here

Braid Peg Dolls

 

 

These little ladies are responsible for a lot of late nights at the moment.

I started selling them at the Country Living show, where they were spotted by the Guardian newspaper, who included them in their Christmas gift guide, both in the paper and online.

 

Hundreds of peg dolls later, and a lot of sleepless nights and I'm still working my way through the orders. Which was not how I expected to spend the run up to Christmas, but I'm certainly not complaining!

 

Each hand drawn peg has two metres of vintage braid on it, which is perfect for embellishing clothes, purses, bags or anything else you can think of.

 

Unfortunately I'm out of stock again at the moment. But I'm hoping to put some more in the shop this week.

There's a bit of a waiting list for them, but if anyone is interested, just drop me an email and I'll let you know as soon as they're back in stock. You can see all the different braids here.
