in mollie makes this month?

hurrah!

Location:Buckland Dinham,United Kingdom

...oops.....

....in my quest for seeking out

the most glorious, original,crafty,

vintagey, christmas gifts for others....

.....i find that i just keep discovering

glorious, original,crafty,

vintagey,lovely gifts for myself!?!

...this has to stop....

....but i confess i am struggling....

..am i supposed to just walk on by...

...and pretend i haven't seen that basket winking at me?

(needed to hold ongoing christmas projects as it's green and therefore totally perfect for the cause).....

...am i to avoid all direct eye contact with etsy?
(..and therefore not be tempted by lovely things like these cute snowmen...
...made by adatine...
although this was restrained behaviour 
as i also have a yearning for her bandit foxes and postman rabbit!!)

...ok so here it is....

...i hereby publicly promise most solemnly...

...not to buy another single, darling

irresistible item for myself.... 

(unless i can't live without it)

...the first cut is the deepest.....

...do you ever find material 

that you love so much... 

that you can't bring yourself to cut it?..

..that's how i felt about this lovely vintage

'polar scene' fabric....

...but with christmas approaching...

 i knew the time had come....

...still deciding what to do with it all..

....but it's a start....

...brave huh?

...i made this furry polar bear...

...but my family decided it looked more like a polar-sheep!

...have a happy, crafty,vintagey,

christmassy week-end x
