Christmas craft fairs are all finished now, for me at least, I'm looking forward to some much needed staying indoors, preparing for festive partying and looking after my Folksy shop, I'm listing a few items tonight, tonnes more to come though! http://www.folksy.com/shops/MrsSewandSew

Having a very crafty week, mostly thanks to halloween, spent the day making cowboys and pirates and monkeys out of little boys and carving scary faces in pumpkins, Sunday was pumpkin soup and pumpkin pie day, I use Valentine Warner's recipe for pumpkin soup: 2 onions, 1 pumpkin, 1 cinnamon stick, cook for 40 min then add a pint of stock and whizz! It's yummy! We've been really productive in the evenings when the boys are in bed this week, made loads of big bow hair bands and Fimo buttons on Sunday night while watching Dream Girls and last night packaged up a load of cards and made some hair clips and hubby printed out some lovely new labels for my hairclips and brooches, check out my folksy.com shop Big hair bows coming soon! http://www.folksy.com/shops/MrsSewandSew
