Halloween How-to's

With 10 days to go I thought it was time to make the apartment a little spooky and stitched up another Dangling Spider Stitched Web that I share with you a couple of years ago...

You can find the how-to here to make your own.

I only change a couple of things from the original to make mine... a few more webby strings to make a fuller home for little spidy and stronger legs for the little guy...

...made from little strips of felt sewn in just the same.

Other little Halloween how-to's are here too:

Drawstring Pumpkin Treat bags

Little Bat Wings

Printable Mini Garlands

Happy Stitcherings

Wed(nesday): The date is saved...

Last night our Save-the-Dates were posted!

I'll share a little peek once they start arriving but here is a few others I fell for along the way...

Save-the-Date Tea Towel

Such fun designs and like a big poster on fabric - I do love a tea towel!

Vintage printed Handkerchiefs

She made for her own wedding. These are so beautiful my heart aches a little and you have to look at the rest of her post about them as there are more lovely pics to see.  

And of course, a little more Rifle Paper Co. love.

I have also just finished my first handmade wedding project and will share that next wednesday too!

Have the loveliest of days

Wed(nesday): The prettiest of all the papers

The past few weeks I have been searching for the perfect invitations and have fallen deeply in love with 

Rifle Paper co. 

(all pictures from Rifle Paper co. blog and shop)

How dreamy and perfect can stationery be!

And its not just weddings...

I love this print...

and these cards...

...I love everything!

The most perfect paper shop in world!

...but I am still looking for my pretty invites, any suggestions?

Where the Heart is

I've been a bit busy with non-craft things so far this week so I'll share something lovely from someone else...

This lovely little framed fluttering heart is a piece I requested from the very talented Terror Dome back in February. It was a valentine/engagement present for my dear fiance. The heart itself is cut from a map...

...and on the right, just off that big loop of green road is where we got engaged!

Terror Dome also make the most beautiful butterflies from old pages...

This picture is from the Folksy shop and you can find her on Etsy here too.

You really should stop by!

Happy Day!

Today is Gibraltar's National Day and I am off to celebrate!

Thought I'd share with you the country's most famous thing - The Rock, my version and the real thing...

Hope you have a wonderful day!

The Tale of Two Boxes

In the furthest wooliest corner of my apartment sits a box... 

Its not a very big box but inside it hold a lot of treasure...

I have my whole sewing room packed into this box. 

All the supplies I could squeeze in at least, it just closes... just!

All the important stuff is there. Cute prints, felt, bunny knits, lace, buttons, zips. A little bit of everything but still knowing where to begin is hard...

And then there's the second box...

...the Box of Shop.

Easier to know where to begin, 

Just have to re-open the Little Shop.

And that's what I'll do today...

(If you do happen to stop by the little shop, please let me know you came from here because I want to add a little treat for blog friends. A thank you for the lovely hello's...)
