The latest

Cotton Time magazine

The Christmas* edition.

Sweet trees

Cosy coasters

In the book there are lots of these little bags hung on a christmas tree. Ummm - yeah right -because we're all going to have lots of spare time to do that - yes ?. I strongly suspect I'll be decorating my tree with my usual christmas tat (dicionary definition - tastelessness by virtue of being cheap and vulgar).

I like this lovely advent calendar, and speaking of lovely advent calendars - have you see Jenny's gorgeous tutorial here ?

The family Santa.

A tree with balls on.

And very cutie booties.

I got my copy here.

* Sorry to mention the christmas word, it's devilishly early I know, but I had nothing else to post about . Well, not unless you wanted to hear about how long it took to get through my pile of ironing today ?

No ?

I thought not.

Because I'm even beginning to bore myself now.

You beat me to it. Just thinking I should post some pictures from some Norwegian Christmas crafting magazines... I haven't yet though because I have wondered: is that allowed - or is it against the law? Is it ok if you credit it? In any case I have been reading your blog for ages and love the adorable, happy things you make!

Thank you for the pictures. I must make the coasters. And I am kind of curious as to how long it took you to finish your ironing (coming from a woman who NEVER irons).

Great inspiration, I am ashamed to say I had already started to think about 'C crafting, so I am going to have to get hold of a copy.

Gorgeous magazine - but I don't think you should be showing me it! (Cue very grumpy husband when I spend even more money on crafty books!)

Anyway, that's not Mrs Santa in the photo. It's Mrs Pepperpot - definitely!

that advent calendar is rather nice isn't it, and, yes i saw the one on allsorts too. did you see her previous post about the little shop she'd found?, kind of wishing i hadn't seen it, it's about 20 minutes drive from where i live and is sooooo expensive, but absolutley lovely.

i've started making christmas presents already, don't want a repeat of last year, up till all hours on bl***y christmas eve, bl***y sewing!!

I like those (felt?) motifs dangling from the branch in front of the window.

And my Festive Season juices are already flowing!

[natacha]

I must have one! Thanks for sharing :)

[Anne Marie]

I LOVE the cozy coasters! Thank you for sharing the pictures!

[Isabelle]

Oh oh oh... I love the little Christmas trees!

[Nyx]

Wow, those coasters are just adorable!

[lina]

I've been on the look out for Christmassy inspiration, these are all really gorgeous. I love Jenny's advent garland but this one looks equally simple and cute.

[Jenn : )]

My copy is in the mail - can't wait to see it in person!

Brilliant book. I just got back from Japan and went nuts buying mags and books - worth every Yen.

[Sonnja]

Lovely book!
Kind regards,

Please, we are all jumping on the Xmas bandwagon earlier and earlier, I'm worse than anyone I know. I think it's because we are all so busy. I just bought 'The Crafters Companion' and I love your section. You make the cutest stuff.

[Helen]

Ooooh - beautiful book! Another thing to add to my wish list. I just love Japanese craft books and Christmas, so that issue of Cotton Time looks like a really winning combination to me :)

[June]

[Monkee Maker]

Mmm, lovely pictures, but I'm desperate to know ..... how long did that pile of ironing take??!

[Lesley]

Lovely pictures of Christmas goodies! Now if you want to talk ironing I'm your woman - I could winge about it for simply hours xxx

[Marcia]

I've been missing your inspiration. I check your blog everyday. You are not boring. I love your tutorials. I hope things are going well for you. Thanks for sharing the book, lots of inspiration there.
