Afternoon readers! Its certainly warm here in the UK this week, in-fact we're officially in a heat wave! Imagine that?! The last 2 summers have been so awful I think we've all forgotten what nice weather feels like! To celebrate the glorious sunshine today I bring you some RED items HOT off the....well....sofa(!). Today I've been finishing off a few red ornaments - the heat certainly prevents your Christmas crafting mojo from taking over - these have been on the go all week and I'm quite pleased with how they've turned out! All completely hand-cut and stitched.

I do like the new start buttons I've found from Kirsty and will definitely be using them in most of my christmassy things this year. We've also managed to pick the first of our strawberries too! Don't they look scrumdiddlyumtious? I think we might have to tuck into these after tea tonight! YUM!!!!

And finally....I decided I needed a treat at the end of last week and so bought myself this fabulous button bracelet from PoorRobin. Mel makes the most fantastical buttony jewelry, perfect for any button addicts (like myself) for a mobile button fix. I've been wearing it every day!

This weekend we are having several new shelves and bookcases delivered as we've officially ran out of book space and I needed shiny new storage for all my craft stuff in the new utility/craft room. Next week we will FINALLY be able to make a start on the nursery! HURRAH!
