blinking computers!

So (get ready for a long post!) this morning I made a present for my friend, then set up my table to start taking photos of all the new things I had made.
I received an email from a customer via Etsy who couldn't purchase from my website because MrSite are having *troubles*
The troubles involve the words Trojans and Disappearing Websites!

SOOOOoooooo

BIG re-think. No big website update for me today!
All SALE items are now on Ebay
and some new goodies are on Etsy
One day soon-ish everything will be in one place ... just not today!

Now I don't know about all you other crafty peeps but I find this time of year quite quiet shopwise. It happened last year and I filled the time with all the normal things...bbq's, friends, etcetc but come September I was kicking myself for not using the time wisely.
So this year I intend to do just that and have started to get ready for CHRISTMAS!!!
I KNOW!!!

I couldn't quite bring myself to start making reindeers and snowmen BUT I could start sketching new ideas ::

the left sketch turned into Santa::
and the right hand sketch kinda evolved at the cutting out stage and ended up as a fir tree (of the happy variety, obviously!)
They take a while to make because of all the layers
but as of now they are my new favourite thing I've made :-)

OMG! too cute for words! Make sure you make plenty as I'm going to have to have some as our 'new' items for this years tree! :)

Excellent! Love these new trees, I like decorations that are in non-christmassy colours. It is the little faces that really make them.
