Tomorrow the summer edition of the Chocolate Crow Trader will be out and I thought I would share my items with you, I normally do this a lot earlier but like everyone else Christmas preparations are taking up lots of my time.......this month I went watermelon crazy, I love making watermelon themed crafts!!!!

Teacher gifts

I have been sewing some special gifts for my children's teachers this year. I did manage to make each teacher a christmas owl, a design once again from Melly and Me and I am hoping they will love them, as tomorrow is the last day of school for 2009......

Dee Dee the Dolphins.......

This week the latest edition of Homespun was delivered to my letterbox and I saw this wonderful project by Melly and Me and I had to do it and I have already finished it, not one but two Dee Dee the dolphins. Both of these dolphins have been claimed by my children and my daughter insists on calling her dolphin Danielle not Dee Dee!!!

One Wise Man.....
