Pre Christmas Crafty Panic

It is that time of year again. The point at the start of November where I begin to feel overwhelmed by the number of crafty things I want to get done in time for Christmas. In addition to the present buying and general holiday planning I have a huge to do list of crafty projects.
There's the sad, lonely projects that weren't finished in time for last Christmas (or for the one before that!). Then there are the ideas I have had during the past year of things I'd like to do (chains of pink white and teal paper honeycomb balls anyone?).
Finally as the blogosphere gets festive there are all the pretty things other people have created that I just can't resist. Where oh where do I start?

Olympic tickets

Just been to collect our football tickets for Saturday's mens q-final. I've never got around to seeing a match at Old Trafford and I've never been to the Olympics, so i am excited to have the chance to experience two firsts in one day. Sad to see the Manchester weather back to its usual damp self though!

Cute cat guest

I had the patio doors open the other day and this cutie pie strolled in. She has a diamanté collar which says she is Dolly Polly!

Craft room makeover

I have an overwhelming urge to spruce up my craft room today. It's all pinterest's fault, there are so many pretty craft spaces out there. Loving the primrose yellow, such a happy colour

Addicted to pinning?

Is anyone else out there suffering from Pinterest addiction? I have just realised how dangerous joining this site actually is. It has already swallowed hours of my free time just browsing and oohing and ahhing at all the visual loveliness. I had heard that because the site is invite only it is difficult sometimes to get an account but the blogging world is full of kindness and Cristian Monroy offered me an invite. Does anyone else need an invite as I want to pay the kindness forward? If you are looking for a Pinterest invite then leave me a comment letting me know what you would pin on your boards and I'll pass out some invites x

Looking at my photos from last month I realised that January can be beautiful too...
