Advent…ageous! Happy Friday!
Happy Friday everyone. How has your week been? Well I can’t believe where November has gone. It’s the first of December on Sunday. Are you all set for Christmas? Hands up who is putting their decorations up this weekend or already have their tree up? Do you like an advent calendar? I do but I don’t like the packaging they often come in. I can see more companies are trying to use less plastic and more cardboard but I have one that I made myself. I can use it year after year and best of all I can put what I like in the pockets. It is usually chocolate which is no surprise to many of you who know me.
There has been so much going on and the lead up to Christmas is well and truly on. Although I am no where ready for Christmas, I do love this time of year as it is often a chance to catch up and spend some quality time with friends. I went out last Tuesday to Pennard Golf Club with my Forget me Not gang for our Christmas dinner. It was very tasty and wow the portions were huge. We were all ready for a nap afterwards. The views of Three Cliffs Bay were gorgeous as well. You don’t have to be a member to eat there and we were given a warm welcome by everyone. We had a great time.
Claire and I have been busy making. We have got our final market next weekend. It’s the Vintage and Makers Market at The Waterfront Museum. This is our favourite as everyone is like a family and a great plus is that we do lots of our Christmas shopping as you can always be guaranteed to find gifts that are quirky and unique just like our designs at Sister Makes. We will have some lovely Kimono style jackets and I have also designed a new jacket that is cropped and has a lovely flared sleeve. Claire has been busy making some lovely new Japanese knot bags. We will also have a table with our welsh blanket coaster kits and will be offering you kits that you can put together yourself by choosing different colours and patterns. We did this at The Woolly Artisan Market and it worked well. They make great stocking stuffers at only £9.50.
Have a great week and I will see you next Friday x Suzanne
