Beautiful Handmade Wreaths

These beautiful wreaths were handmade by Clodagh and Rosemary, we here are Margie's Crafts are so pleased to have them on our team. They will have lots of these beauties at Castlefarm's Christmas Fair next Saturday on the Margie's Crafts Stand.



Clodagh is famous for her breads and cakes already, we think these wreaths will see her reach infamy.

Tuesday through the window

Looking out at the snow today, it felt good to be in by the wood stoves, I have updated this post to join in Tuesday through the window over at Swedish House, you can click on the block letters and join in.



The snow was only an inch or so thick on the bonnet (hood) of the Landy.



Mimi and Mathilde loved their run in the woods and looked so dark against the snow.
Join in the Tuesday through the window or click the blog titles below and see more snow photos.

Muzzy's Crafts

Muzzy spent some time relaxing and knitting in the studio today while Margie was catching up on some housework.


During the afternoon Muzzy wanted to try some sewing,she cut a small square, and then spent some time learning about the workings of the machine, the on off switch, threading the needle, the bobbin, the foot, the correct position of the fingers and hands, what to avoid to ensure safe use and finally the pedal and speed.



Before long she was sewing her first little lavender cushion.



She added a ribbon and a button and filled the cushion. She was so happy with her work.


When she grows up she wants to have a Muzzy's Crafts.

What a wonderful compliment.
