Christmas is coming....Yep just 10 weeks to go!

Yes, Yes, I know its only October and if there is one thing I can't stand it's when shops fill their shelves with Christmas items before I've even considered getting out my winter wollies! I kid you not; our local Tesco had its Christmas chocolate aisle set up before my boys had even gone back to school for the Autumn term - ie IT WAS STILL THE SUMMER HOLIDAYS! However since starting my business I have come to realise that Christmas in the crafting world is a bit of an all year round feast. Ordering Christmas fabric as early as March and planning items for my Christmas Shop during the Summer Holidays. I have to say it is still a bit against my traditional feelings and I missed out on some lovely Christmas basic fabric this year - as I still thought 'No-ones going to be ordering Christmas fabric in June'......but how wrong I was!

Last night my husband and I questioned how long it was till Christmas - I said - its probably about 10 weeks - to which he gasped and said 'Surely not' a quick google search 'How long till Christmas' and yep I was pretty spot on '71 days 4 hours 20 mins 12 seconds!

That said, I guess it is now not too early to start thinking and talking Christmas. I was very excited to receive this week a stunning range of Copenhagen Print Factory Christmas Fabrics - bright and fun they would be great for loads of Christmas projects - they are now sitting very nicely in my EBay shop. You can order the fabric by the Fat Quarter or Fat Eighth in either a bundle or individually: 

Also I managed to get in a last minute order for some Dashwood Studios Christmas Wish Fabric by Lizzie MacKay. I love Dashwoods ethos of using UK only designers. The range is muted tones of the colours of Christmas and the light Teal from their popular Flurry range works brilliantly with it. 

I've also started thinking about my Christmas House Decorations too - specifically for the Christmas Table - So lots of ideas are floating around in my head! I will report back on them soon.

Just before I go and to bring us back to the season we actually in - my boys and I made some Halloween Bunting over the weekend using a pack of my Halloween Felt. Scary but slightly  cute at the same time I think!!
