A hedgehog New Year

Now I was a litte puzzled when I looked outside this morning to find this in the garden



I have concluded that the local hedgehogs must be planning a NYE party in our garden and have got their supplies in early! (just hope they don't keep us awake)

Happy New Year everyone :D

Alternative Christmas tree!

This year we decided not to get a real tree, our lounge is quite small and the non-drop ones are just a bit too much for our budget at the mo!

So I got some willow twigs (we already owned them), picked some teasels, then sprayed the teasels copper!
Some battery powered fairy-lights, and a few minimal decorations and here it is!

Sewing!

So last-night I took up hubs2b's jeans and fixed a couple of tops (he's such a back-seat sewer!!)

My sewing was made much more fun by my new spangly pincushion!! And here it is in action



The cupcake pincushion was from Lauren Ceramics and the lovely heart pins were from Bugs and Fishes supplies
