Cracking on with Christmas!!

Having spent a little too much time thinking and gathering ideas for my christmas collection, I have finally started to crack on with making the first set on indivdual hanging hearts....I have made 5 in total today plus some more fabric brooches all in all it has been a good start.

In order to make sure I have enough stock for the Christmas craft fairs/car boots I hope my motivation and fast past will continue...

Any encouragement or comments that will keep me making/creating are welcome...thank you to those of you who have recently given me more ideas for crafts....its looking like christmas bunting could be the next project ( Thanks Amy)...

Catching up... tea,cake + Craft

Today after riding into town on my bike and collecting my thoughts walking around town, I visited my craft buddy Helen!!!

On arrival I was offered a cup of tea in one of Helens very nice Kath kidston cups, carrott cake buns + a warm smiley welcome. Helen I are creating handmade crafts to sell at Christmas, we will be based in the cornwall,devon area! You may find us selling our gifts at various carboots/crafts fairs....details of dates + times will be posted soon.


Over the last 2 weeks, I have been thinking about various ideas for christmas crafts and have been gathering different materials, inspiration from shops etc

I also find inspiration when hanging around with good friends, walking,riding my bike,reading,listening to music and generally my everyday life activities....

any christmas craft ideas would be welcome!!! Please comment below or e-mail me on linzybenz@hotmail.com

Free Funky Material

After receiving a free 30ich television and DvD player from my local church Waterfront ( NewFrontiers) my faith in people and good heartedness has been restored....not only did I receive this as a free gift, BUT...I have also been given lots of fab fabrics ...

As any eager creative/textilely person out there would know...this can lead to all kinds of new inventions and ideas.... With all this new material I can get on with my crafty christmas collection!!!

I have managed to make a considerable amount of MINI fabric hearts now...some of which I have given away as small presents to friends...

Some of my christmas collection will consist of Fabric christmas tree decorations such as small hanging stars,stockings,mini trees etc

Apart form my busy fingers sewing, my mind creating and my soul contemplating...I have also enjoyed over the past 2 weeks spending time at BBQs, friends houses for meals, general socialsing, riding my bike, discussing God, holding cute babies and dancing my little heart out!!!

Any requests to purchase some christmas crafts from myself would be welcome please e-mail me on linzybenz@hotmail.com
