Hot ideas

I am now the proud owner of my very own hot glue gun :) the last time I used one of these I was at college. After seeing a tutorial on a blog somewhere (I will try and find it again and post the link) I thought 'Oooooh I bet I could make something cute for the Christmas markets I'm doing' and to be honest I wanted one to wear myself. 

So I popped over to Hobbycraft and bought one of their mini glue guns and the glue sticks were buy one pack get one free. I also stocked up on some gingerbread men coloured felt. Unfortunately I bought the wrong trick markers, dont ask me how I managed this, my brain must have been somewhere else other than inside my head. And whilst I was rummaging through the clearance bins I managed to cut my finger on a rotary cutter which had fallen out of its packaging. Well it was Friday 13th. 

Hope you all made it through Friday 13th without any drama?

Happy, happy, happy...

To follow a lovely weekend I had a day just for me today :D I got up early and enjoyed a cup of tea with Nell whilst I read some blogs....after getting ready I headed into town and straight for John Lewis. Again I had run out of interfacing, I know disaster. And as I cant live without it I had to get some more.

So after cleaning them out of their almighty stock of 5 and half meters (very poor) I headed off to PAPERCHASE!!!!!!!! I always have a journal and note book....the note book stays in my handbag (at the moment its the gorgeous one that Rachel sent me :D) and the journal is always on the arm of the sofa where I sit on an evening just in case I need to draw or write something down. Since there were only 3 pages left in my journal I thought I had better get another, pronto. It took me about 20 minutes to choose one (I am very particular) I also picked up a new pen and a birthday card. Oooh and how lovely it is.....

I then took a quick trip to Hobbycraft and picked up some polka dot, sparkly and zebra print felt. I spent this afternoon making another new bag, and I have to say I am proud as punch of this one. I'm planning on making another one tomorrow....photo's will come soon.

And the best thing about today?? Is that I get to spend all day tomorrow on me too!!! Yippppeeee!!
