I created a brand new product this week. Boo yah! Personalised Music Pencils. They are pretty dang cool I have to say, really happy with how the box cover design turned out.

  

I think that the lady who tried to teach me how to play piano probably deserved a set of these.

A friend of mine asked for my advice in sourcing a cute diy kit for her daughter to make a teacher gift. My top two favourite sets that I found were these guys

I love the work of fellow NTHS seller Laura Clempson of Clara and Macy from her about page to her product descriptions. I thought this pudding kit would be so cute. Or the robin. Great as a stocking filler too.

over on Etsy I found Georgina Giles' shop where she sells these absoloutely adorable looking sewing kits.

I found the coolest idea for gift wrapping my presents this year. (Yes this is something I actively look forward to) over on pinterest. The original post was from over on the Country Living website

expect lots of misleadingly shaped gifts this Christmas peeps.

Until next time

This week: get still

I first heard this quote when listening to a speech that Oprah gave at Stanford. I scribbled it down in my notebook and when I was searching for inspiration for today's post it struck me as perfect. Especially with the whirlwind of activity that is me and mine at the moment. Sometimes you just need to breathe.

So to quote the great lady O. 

"When you don't know what to do, get still"

She goes on to say that 'the answers will come'. Sometimes they don't, sometimes you already had them and sometimes you realise you were asking the wrong question.

The photograph is one I took last winter and is actually of the ice on the top of my car, pretty amazing right? 

See you next time.
