A Perfectly Wrapped Present

Another thing I'm telling you about me.

I love wrapping presents. I love buying the paper, matching the ribbon to the paper but also to the gift receiver...and then finding a tag or even making one that will bring the whole present together- like the icing on a cake!

If I could make a business out of wrapping presents for other people I would. The creativity that can go into wrapping is endless. Imagine having this room at your disposal...bliss...

Brilliant idea to use maps - turns it into a non gender specific gift.

The below image has such an organic feel to it with the various materials used in white or neutrals - the pearl and paper rosette is too cute.

These flower wrapped gifts are so feminine and sophisticated. The brown paper 'grounds' the look - if a pastel colour was used it would be too much. (I have to learn how to make fabric roses...If I do I'll let you know how.)

Dining Table Cubby House

I love, love, love this idea. What a fabulous little hideaway for the kiddies to play under and hide - why not use an item of furniture that is in every household and turn in into a hideaway place. Brilliant!

I will definitely be getting the sewing machine out and make this for the girls for those rainy winter days when I need to keep them occupied. Watch this space- I'll share with you how I go.

Have a great weekend

Sewing Nook

Yay it's Saturday!

Isn't this the cutest little sewing / craft area you've ever seen? I adore the abundance of patterns on the doors, the walls and the drawers. It is so quirky and fresh ... my sewing fingers would dance all over fabric if I were to sew in a corner like this.

Enjoy yourselves this weekend
