Morning!!
I forgot to put my zipper pouch in my work bag yesterday and I was lost without it!! It’s got all of my daily essentials and is the perfect size to pop in my bag!
I have a few different designs available in this style. I’m wondering if I should extend the range to have bigger and smaller ones too?
What do you think? What sort of size would you use?
Can you believe I have been sending out cracker orders already!!
So, let’s get into this! You can mix and match the crackers and buy as many as you need.
I provide hats and cheesy jokes so all you need to do is think of special gifts for the individual people.
New this year… what do you think of the care cards? There are lots of top tips about how to fill and re tie your crackers.
I have some new designs to add this year and also plan to do a fabric shop and restock in October half term so you have plenty of choice before the big day.
Would you go for mix and match or have them all the same design I wonder?
Last week I showed you my new Christmas Blind Date with a Book and some of you were wondering what was tucked in all the pockets!
So I made a little video to show you.
I’ve kept it simple and haven’t included and food items incase of allergies! There is a photo on my e t s y listing showing you what sort of book you ‘could’ receive!
Lots of you were also asking if there were other genres. Not at the moment but if these are popular I will branch out.
What other genres would you like to see? Is there anything else you would pop in the pockets?

Good morning!!!
Well, my plan was to show you the squirrel bags I made last week but they sold out over the weekend so there’s a change of plan 🤣
Nutcrackers!!! How adorable is this fabric?
I started making matching gift tags to go with my bags when I started making them a few years ago and have carried on… because the little details matter 😊
Now, if you gave someone a gift in a reusable gift bag, would you let them keep it or ask for it back so you could reuse it?? I’d love to know!!!!
Have you seen all the different sections in my Etsy shop? My favourites at this time of year are the reusable fabric crackers and the gift bags!
I like to try and have a wide variety of fabric choices so there’s something for everyone!
If you were to visit one section, which would you choose?

Some of you were were wondering if I have matching items available.
If you have been here a while, you will know the answer to that is yes 😊😊
What do you think of this gorgeous butterfly matching set of a book sleeve and glasses case?
I love to zoom in to look at this one as the detail in the fabric is beautiful.
One to add to your wish list for yourself or to gift to someone else?
I’ve been so excited to show you my latest make! What do you think? Is this something you would buy for a gift?
You can see a photo of the books that could be wrapped up in yours in the Et zy !!
Can you see the little patchwork mouse sticker??! Cute 🥰

Last week I showed you some little gift bags which featured a gorgeous nutcracker fabric!
Well, here are some matching crackers!
These may not match your table decor but have you thought of other ways you could use these reusable crackers?
An exciting way to wrap a small gift - maybe jewellery! Nestled in the Christmas tree waiting to be opened on Christmas Day! Or as a decoration.
Had you thought of this before? Do you have any other ideas? Do you like to make an effort when wrapping gifts or do you just keep it plain and simple?

This week has been all about back to work for me ( primary school teacher).
I’ve been far too tired to read when I have gone to bed this week.
But, I’m going to carve out some ‘me’ time and have a nice brew and snuggle down with a book for a bit today!
Keeping your book in a book sleeve makes this even more of a special occasion. Like getting out the best crockery or tablecloth!! It’s a little ritual which I love!
Do you make special time for reading or is it squeezed in on your commute or just before bed - if you can keep your eyes open?!!
