For those of you that are spent out or can't face the shops again, if you head over to Janys' blog you will find lots of ideas and tutorials for homemade gifts. Personally, I think there is nothing nicer than a homemade gift as it shows that the giver has thought about you and taken time to create a special gift.

Och I love these! Janys is so creative with materials. I never have time to follow enough of what she does. One of my resolutions for 2013 is to visit her in Venice and see all these lovely things she makes and does xx
ReplyDeletePS, that link does not seem to work for me, Fran. Am I thinking of the same Janys, though? Maybe I've got it wrong as I see the blog is .co.uk?
ReplyDeleteI love the Gingerbread Man! I think I could attempt that!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for recommending the PowellRiver Books. Mr Sft and I spent a happy few hours reading Margy's blog posts. What a fascinating life she has.
