Handmade Gift Ideas
Unless you are amazingly organised and probably feeling pretty pleased with yourself right now, you may be wondering what the baubles to get for everyone this holiday? Over the last year or so, I've posted a few quick, easy and fairly low cost projects, so here are a few that might be the answer to your friend/family/Secret Santa gifting worries? Grab a cuppa/cocktail - it's a long one :)

Two | a Birthday Giveaway : Closed
Happy Monday! Today, TTSM is two.
This is a perfect excuse to eat cake all day, which I am.
Last year, for my first blogging birthday, I set some resolutions which I think I kind-of, sort-of kept to. I bought myself a camera [you probably didn't notice] and I have tried to improve my photography, but where this has happened sometimes, I think this might be down to luck and fluke, rather than skill. I've also tried new crafts [paper cutting and more recently honeycomb] and this is something I intend to focus even more on for my third year of blogging. Finally, I set myself some consistency challenges, trying to find a balance between setting goals to make more and regular blogging. Around the New Year, I started blogging three times a week and this became a little personal goal, which I've managed to keep to [give or take one week or two] until today. I have to be honest, this hasn't been easy - but I've enjoyed having this self-inflicted goal to focus on. So, here's to year three!
I mentioned in my first ever post that TTSM was not my first [nor second or third] attempt at blogging and the reason I have been able to keep this one up, I think, is due to the fab online community. Thank you so much for your comments, tweets, emails and for every time you share my posts.
Raising my coffee/cocktail [depending on your time of day...or maybe not as far as the cocktail is concerned] to you xxxx

Yesterday, I posted about my first attempt at honeycomb decorations. Strangely therapeutic and therefore, I made more. Today, here's how to create fabric versions to embellish and dress up presents.

Review: Glue Gun
Hello! Today’s post is a little different than the usual DIY and I hope useful, as today I’m blogging glue guns. I’m a believer [and still am] that you don’t need electrical equipment, tools and gadgets to be creative, but this small investment has not only saved me time, it’s added strength and saved many a project that otherwise would have been abandoned.
