A little missing-you shout out


I haven't had a lot of time for visiting some of my favourite bloggers lately. Sob. I'm popping in, but popping is not the same as staying for dinner. We all know that.

Just then I felt a huge rush of Missing. I genuinely feel like I'm grounded and I'm not allowed out to see my friends as much as I want to.

So, quite apart from the 'big blogs' that I love - the design blogs, the stylists, the homewares, the philosophers, the general time-suckers - just thought I'd say that I'm missing my blogging buddies:

Kymmie at A Day In the Life Of Us
Brenda at Mira Narnie
Gil and Nic at Alice Becomes (and I haven't even dipped a proper toe into your new ventures!)
Sarah at Ah! The Possibilities
Steph at Mon Petit Poppet
Toni at Chick-Chat
Corinne at The Daze of My Life
Shelley at My Shoebox Life
Jane at Life on Planet Baby
Beth at BabyMac
Tim at Tim Coulson
Lucy at Diminishing Lucy
Flick at Gifts of Serendipity (I don't think she likes it when I call her that!)
Megan at The Byron Life
Karen at The Rhythm Method
Kate at Fox's Lane (missing bits of your trip! Eek!)
Eden at Edenland
Bianca at BigWords
Emma at Frog, Goose and Bear (but, of course, I caught the party posts!)
Em at The Beetle Shack
Cherie at A Baby Called Max
Cate at Keep Cate Busy (although I don't think you're blogging anyway!?)
Chantelle at Fat Mum Slim (did I miss the wedding????)
Woogilicious at Woogsworld (did you clock Max and Jack.. spooky!)
Bern at So Now What?
Glen at Glen's Life
Zoey at GoodGoogs
Kellie at 1000 Homes of Happiness
Jodi at Che and Fidel
Tessa at Down that Little Lane

And so many, many more... anyone in my blog roll and lots of new ones that I've noticed too... and, yuck, just realised that lists are dangeous things. Sorry if I left you out. I didn't mean to but I have to wrap this post up because it's taken longer to write this quick little shout out than a proper post.

How about we all make a pact to just blog every now and then in the new year? That might give us all a bit of time to read the blogs we love. Hmmm... didn't think that would fly.

How can we possibly ever keep up with all the blogs we really love????

A little Christmas Frivolity for you...

Happy Monday, folks! Did you put up your Christmas tree over the weekend? We bravely did -- though I only have about 8 decorations on mine and they are all only on the top couple of branches! Elliott and Fern broke 3 glass baubles (you know, the handblown ones I picked up on my travels through Europe -- easily replaceable NOT) before I had a chance to remove them from the kitchen table. They were in a box, but that didn't stop them. I unpacked the felt and plastic ones only and the rest are still in boxes on the kitchen table because I can't bring myself to pack them away! And to think it was only a few years ago my tree was all silver and clear glass decorations only -- these days I have techno, multicoloured LED lights blinking merrily and I wouldn't have it any other way!

This morning I got up to discover Elliott wrapped in lights from the Christmas tree... oooops.

Anyway, 8 decorations or not, the tree is UP and that's good enough for me!

We took the kids to get their Santa photo yesterday. Elliott wore this bow- tie, (which coincidently was featured on the front page of Etsy on Friday and made me dance with joy - front page of Etsy, are you kidding me?!):

... and Ferny wore this top, with a matching polka dot skirt:

... and they both looked tres adorable, even if I DO say so myself!

The wreath is on the door and it MUST be Christmas, because I am literally surrounded by thousands of pieces of torn fabric at the moment filling wreath orders... I had to withdraw the wreath from my stores because I simply could not fill any more! Here's the latest to materialise from my studio (which, by the way is now complete complete complete and is completely rocking my world -- reveal to come very very shortly, I promise!!) Next year I'll start making those wreaths in September!

I havn't even thought about - let alone started - my Xmas shopping. I'm not panicking.... ok, I am. A bit. 

But I want to leave you today with a special little something I prepared just for you. Merry Christmas!!
