My Journals are done!

I finished a few of my pear journals and I'm super pleased with the way they turned out, I found it a bit of a struggle packing these goodies up and not keeping atleast one for myself!
I've already cut out a few more covers to get started on over the weekend........one of which will BE MINE!!! 
I think one of these would make the perfect gift for Mother's Day!

I wonder what I'm going to get for Mother's Day?

Have you visited the Shop Handmade blog lately? If you haven't you should!
I know I could do some serious damage on the card if I was let loose in this shop.
These divine hairbands and clips were made by Rosalind over at Grace Designs.
I have one of these stunnig tea towels hanging in my dining room, you can get one at Shop Handmade or on line over at Yardage Design. Nic has some beautiful new fabric prints all her own design....simply amazing! Oh, and it's her birthday!
There is alot going on around here at the moment, life just seems to get busier by the minute, I'm sure we'll come the other end of it all wondering how we ever managed.

How is your day going?

PS. I just changed some of the settings in Blogger and it's driving me mad, so this post is a bit wonky......this will take some getting used to!

They look amazing! I love the colours you've used, and that stitching of course!

Oh thanks for including my hair goodies. I actually bought a lovely cream wire cupcake stand this morning and took it in, the pretty pinks and creams look so much better now than flat on that tray! The journals look fabulous.

Brenda, I just have to tell you that your pears are virtually gone, if not gone - they were evaporating at Shop today. They are divine and you must make your fingers bleed to make more because the staff also want to buy them!!!!

The style and quality of your work astounds me. Did you see my pick of the month on the Shop blog? Your pin cushion owl.

Please apply for handmade living.

Love,

Tania
