Tucked up indoors......

We'd been out yesterday to the cash and carry to stock up on bulk buys, nipped into the DIY store to get some door knobs, popped into the Co-Op then home in the warm and dry. Wasn't the weather horrible yesterday? It doesn't fair much better today either, its so windy here. So once the shopping was unpacked and a cuppa made I raided my fabric stash and made this Sleepy Time Pillow for the craft fair on Sunday.
Its filled with Lavender and the heart danglys in the corner are also filled with Lavender.

I've stitched a border of pink stitches around the outside of the heart, but you can't see it that well on the pics. Also managed to get another angel drawn onto fabric and cut out, as well as three hearts, just got to get them stitched up now. I'm hoping the orange, cinnamon sticks and bags I ordered will arrive today or tomorrow, as I need them for the gingerbread garland and the fair.
Whilst writing this post I'm multi-tasking and making two shepherds pies at the same time. You wouldn't catch a bloke doing that. :o)
Please take a look at Mel Mels blog as shes hosting a Christmas swap, and the more that take part the more brilliant it will be. :o)
