2) While browsing Meet Me At Mike's, I discovered Dawn Tan Wenyi and her blog +handmadelove+. She specialises in lovely painted prints of recipe ingredients and has made up one of them into a tea towel! Just look at this. And then look at the little bundles she's preparing to send to customers. I think I might actually burst from the sheer adorable-ness - I am a total sucker for beautiful packaging. *This* is why everyone should buy handmade, if financially feasible. I've already placed an order ...
3) Craft club a gogo! After shyly dallying with the idea for weeks, I finally put some feelers out and set up a group for my craft club on Facebook. It's called Cake & Crafts and it's (for now) a secret group as I want to keep numbers small to begin with. I think I mentioned the club in an earlier post? I will probably put up a brief post with more details but the concept is simple: gal pals crafting together once a month over cake and conversation. I've invited 5 people and most of them say they're on board. I don't know what God has in store for Cake & Crafts but I'm looking forward to it either way.
4) On Saturday I am attending the Country Living Christmas Fair. I went last year, with a work colleague, and had a fantastic time. I didn't buy very much, but this year I'm hoping to find a few Christmas pressies and maybe some nice gift wrap too. I need to be careful at things like this - it's so easy to get carried away with the concentration of loveliness. Although last year was relatively inexpensive, I was with a friend and we were able to keep eachother under control! This year I'm flying solo ... I think I may need to set myself a budget and take that amount in cash.
... And speaking of Country Living, the Christmas issue is on sale. Oh yes.
