Trim Trim Trimmings! *new-ness*

 I missed Yesterdays Monday Shop Pimp Post as it was still the School Holidays and it was Hallowe'en AND we had spoooooky stuff to do!!

So, Tuesday shop pimp:

Gorgeous "Home Sweet Home" fabric trim with a cross-stitch style print.

Being sold with a complimentary Aqua grossgrain and red polka dot ribbon.

 Then, vintage style Union Jack Trims which is so very on trend and grrreat for any Olympia 2012 projects.

In this awesome green and silver and the traditional colours.

I am liking very muchly :)

 A a double Tartan treat too.

I bought these for making some Scottie Dog collars and my own Christmas wrapping.

There is so much you can do with pretty ribbons. They make me happy!

I love adding them to my patchwork cushions and lavender hearts.

You can use them for cupcake Toppers or cake decorating or on Taggie blankets or as hanging threads on decorations... oh it goes on and on and on and on....

Christmas Bits n Bobs...

 'Bits n Bobs' is sort of how it feels at this stage.

My last 2 small Christmas Fairs this weekend, but i haven't much left to sell.

Instead of whipping up lots of new stock for the last 2 weeks - i have saved some creative energies for my own Christmas needs / wants.

 I have whipped up some 'Man' stockings. Mostly as gifts but there is one Tartan Stocking in the etsy shop. Tartan is getting the big 'thumbs up' from me as "Christmas Decor"...

But, before Ali and MrsB (and the rest of the Clans) tear me limb from limb: I do KNOW that tartan is important with history and stories to them....

Forgive me, i am not Scottish. I just enjoy its richness and warmth and, as a English Woman, it speaks volumes about the Christmas sentiment to me.

 This Tartan bunting was whipped up using some larger scraps left over.

I have made some Tartan bunting for my house and my sister-in-laws but there are 2 available in the SnowFish shop, just as a tester for some 2011 projects.

 There is so much comfort and joy (oh Tidings of,) in re-discovering the Decorations.

Naturally, all things have changed for me this year. A new home brings a virgin Christmas and it is our time to make some new stories and new traditions.

But i am a lady who relishes the new and untraditional so i am happy to carry my stories wherever i lay my hat.

 Giant bells, pom-poms, cherry blossom tree, Felt chains and Tartan bunting.

Bring it on! I'll do it my way.

 Merry festivities One and All....

Nearly there MrsB.... looking forward to the Yule Cheer.

I think friendship and family are the finest finishing touch to any Christmas Trimmings.

Ribbon Shopping...

Do i need to add words??? Is there a reader that *neeeds* an explanation? .... There isn't room in my mouth for all the salivating that's gone on today.
I went RIBBON SHOPPING!!
Most people can say "I popped into Morrisons today" ... i can say "I went ribbon shopping"!!

And YES, photographed, uploaded, listed in the shops within 2.5hrs of walking through the door.
It isn't selling that I am actually addicted to.... it's 'sharing' and they look soooo good when they are captured on a digital image.

Checks and Polka Dots and Tartans and oranges and browns and greens.... i didn't buy enough ( i know that now)

Oh and PINKS mmmmmm i didn't realise i had so many different pinks! Yummy for the pink fans.
There are some in the BigFish.etsy.com shop and I have put a few mixes in SnowFish.etsy.com because i thought they would make great wrapping and tag making for Christmas and Thanksgiving x
So, "that's a wrap"!
