Hello again everyone, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I wanted to spend a little time again in MyLittleCorner here for a lovely catch up and introduce you to my little Etsy Shop at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/OurDragonfly">OurDragonfly</a>. So much has been happening over the last few years, I dont even know where the time has gone. Not to even mention getting through life on lockdown over the last few months. How have you all been coping ?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The last time I posted here was in 2014 after I moved from the Netherlands with my four beautiful children back to the UK. Since then I have been divorced, completed my BSL and Deaf Studies Degree, trained as a Mediator, tried a few home-based ventures such as Sisters and including my little Etsy shop, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/OurDragonfly">OurDragonfly</a> and moved home (again). I have to say, I have like so many, started sewing face masks, which actually began with requests from family and friends that spilled over into my shop. (take a look and see if you like something.) </div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But I have to say, the time at home during lockdown has given me the space to slow down, take a deep breath, realize what I have been through so I can accept it. It has sparked again my interest in sewing, crotchet and my love of gardening. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am researching other little projects I can not wait to get on with, however, I got carried away with these new feelings, jumped on my little girls scooter, and just as I had experienced the feeling of freedom, I fell (hard) and broke my wrist, bruised my knee cap and well, now I'm waiting to recover. But it has given me, again the chance to sit and decide what I really want to do with my life, and how to continue. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Should I continue with my education with a Conversion Law Degree ? (Mmm, another crazy year of study, work and juggling 4 children and family life as a single mum ! ) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Or, is there something else out there for me, something more creative ? </div>

The day starts early like any other week day as my eldest daughter L goes to the <a href="http://www.rncm.ac.uk/">RNCM ( The Royal Northern College of Music )</a> for the young talented, she is a pianist.<br />
<br />
The college is in the City ... Yucky ... I am not a city fan, all that traffic and impatient drivers. It is quite a long drive and takes us 45 mins in and 45 mins back which we have to do twice of course. My other children are so patient, I set up the Car DVD player and stack them with drinks and food.<br />
<br />
We have decided however to use our time in between on trying out new recipes, today we tried Paul Hollywoods Ciabatta. yummy ! My second eldest daughter S was the main baker, I was the equivalent to<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/profiles/56KmK46Jkzj1FhTX7jzlQ65/mel-giedroyc"> Mel </a>and <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/profiles/38bKJvpF1T4SFNQ6Dhsj3hL/sue-perkins">Sue</a>. <br />

So when we got back my lovely S and I set about to get it all together ... we were excited after having just watched <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/profiles/1CQK7Ww9zCYCFGVCdPb63Mp/paul-hollywood">Paul Hollywood </a>do it last night on TV (is anyone else a fan of the <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b013pqnm">Great British Bake Off </a>) <br />

We don't have a proofing drawer in our little humble kitchen, so we used a plastic bag, and kept it close to the oven which was cooking our chicken casserole ... Paul said it was ok and whats good enough for Paul is for us too.<br />

A whole hour seemed a little excessive at first to wait for proofing but we were determined to do it right and we were glad we did, just look at this ....<br />

A heavily floured surface and as a Tip ( which is also not in the book but was on last nights show ! ) To use a little bit of semolina in the flour and on top of the Ciabatta .... ) We were happy that we watched the show last night ! <br />

Next was to cut the dough first in half and then in half again, sprinkle more of the semolina on top and voila, it was ready for putting on the trays and ... no not baking ... not yet, we had to wait another 20 mins to rest the dough... phew, all this waiting, but Paul does say it will be worth it doesn't he.<br />
<br />

Then to cook for 20 - 25 mins and here you have it perfect Ciabatta ... Don't you think that ours or should I say S,s look just the same as Pauls.. <br />

I was a little nervous because I have never done anything like this before, well at least not for anything crafty. But it was really lovely and very relaxed. I was so pleased that one of our lovely ladies who was quite new to the wonderful world of crotchet, came away with a basic granny square, that she had made herself.<br />

My lovely sister P and I are so excited about our new adventure into our small business "sisters", we have a lot of things to work on and all of our ideas are just rolling around in our heads. <br />
<br />
I think that considering that we are juggling 11 children between us, all under 14 and running very busy households we are not doing too bad. <br />
<br />
If anyone has any Tips on running workshops for Crochet I would love to hear them.<br />
<br />
Hope you all had a great day.<br />
<br />
Lots of love from <b><u>MyLittleCorner </u></b><br />

It has taken a while but I think I have finally organised a lovely Working Space in my Conservatory. I love it especially as one end is cosy and comfy and the other end is all organised to get crafting.<br />
<br />
The light in this room is fabulous and in the evening the lighting all around the ceiling on the edges creates a very cozy feel.<br />
<br />
It has been fun prettifing this space. ( I know prettifing is not a word but I do like it ! ) <br />

<br />
On the back of the house we have the luxury of a wonderful Conservatory and I have spent most of the day trying to organise a working space ... It is still in a major chaotic state but I think it starts to look cosy.. Do you ? <br />

<br />
Once all the pieces of material were cut to size and ironed, and the buttons and ribbons organised, everything was ready ti put the kits together. <br />

decided to hand sew the wooden buttons on a small cream card and to
include the pins needed to hold the ribbon in place before sewing. We think it added a nice personal touch. My Lovely S helped a lot with this.</div>

I have a new found respect for those who write up patterns ... it is so time consuming and takes a great deal of thought.<br />
<br />
My sister and I spent most of the day doing just that, with lots of technical help from my lovely daughter L. We took it step by step, literally, from drawing up the pattern and writing down every step while we made the Upside Down Pixie Hat. We included lots of coloured photos for easy understanding which I always appreciate, don't you ?<br />

<br />
I have been making these Pixie Hats for quite a few years now as gifts for family and friends. They really are simple to make and with our kits even simpler. Once you have the pattern, you can make them in any material that you want and embellish it to your personal taste. <br />
<br />
We will be offering these patterns really soon on our Etsy Shop but for now they will be on our Stall at <a href="http://www.botanybay.co.uk/">Botany Bay, Chorley in Lancashire.</a> for just 4.95 British Pounds. <br />
<br />
I must admit though I am exhausted now and look forward to cwtching up with a nice cup of chamomile tea. I hope that you like them, if your interested in buying one before they reach the shop just let me know and I will post one to you. <br />
<br />
I am sorry that I don't have a picture yet of the finished patterns packed and ready to
go because by the time I had packed up everything the light had gone ...
but I will post them as soon as I can. <br />
<br />
What have you all been up to today. <br />
Lots of love <b><u>MyLittleCorner </u></b><br />

Another very busy day today ... My Lovely Sister and I are working hard on getting our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SimplySistersTogether">little business</a> off the ground. <br />
<br />
Our latest projects have included some wonderful pieces of furniture that we have renovated using <a href="http://www.anniesloan.co.uk/">Annie Sloan Paint. </a> I am sure that most of you have heard about her wonderful paint, but for those who haven't just click on the link and a world of fun will be opened up to you. <br />
<br />
I am a little cross with myself that I failed to photo the before and after and even the process of these renovations, but at least I have the finished results .<br />
<br />
My absolute favorite is this wonderful rocking chair ... the details are so brilliant. It was painted using <a href="http://www.anniesloan.co.uk/acatalog/Duck_Egg_Blue_profile.html">Annie Sloans Duck Egg Paint</a>, sanded back and waxed to give a smooth finish. We hope to have this listed on our Etsy and Ebay shops soon, but we are a little slow setting things up. ( Well after all we do have 11 children between us .... all under 14. )<br />
<br />

Spring is such a lovely time of the year isn't it ? It really motivates you to clean and sort which is perfect for me at the moment with all my packing and sorting!!<br />
<br />
Unfortunately I have not really had that much time to indulge in the world of blogging and I miss it so much. I miss catching up on all the lovely wonderful blogs that I follow ... like <a href="http://annemarieshaakblog.blogspot.nl/">Anne Maries Haakblog</a> her posts are always lovely and offer lots of free patterns that are definitely worth a visit. This is the page from her latest post and she offers all these wonderful Easter Designs...free...so much fun. <br />

I would encourage you all to look at another gorgeous blog, <a href="http://rhubarbinthegarden.blogspot.nl/">rhubarbinthegarden</a>. The artist is my sister and she is so talented. I have missed being around my sisters and look forward to being with them all again soon. Take a look at her latest post, she designs and makes jewelry, they are so beautiful.<br />

There are so many other blogs that I think are wonderful, take a look at "Blogs I think are lovely" on the side bar, you wont be sorry.<br />
<br />
I miss taking a few moments each day to write about my day and the goings on around here. It
just seems that the hours in the day are not long enough at the moment. Packing seems to take such a long time and I have to wonder why after all my moves WHY I still have "what I call" Rubbish around the place.<br />
<br />
Yes I am a <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2014/mar/16/miranda-my-what-i-call-live-show-review-hart">Miranda Fan</a>.... my sisters actually saw her live this week and I missed not being with them !! If you want to have a laugh and chear yourself up a little but... Miranda is definitely the medicine. <br />

I am actually returning to England and not Wales, but I am definately a Welsh Girl ! With all the wonderful Daffodils sprouting up everywhere, it has certainly reminded me of that and I have missed being there. I have a lovely bunch on my windowsill that just chear me up every time I look at them.<br />

I was of course very proud of the Welsh when I was watching the Rugby with my lovely S, we had a great time together. He is so excited to be able to be around so many of his cousins, he is the only boy in our home and he misses very much having boys around to enjoy sports with. <br />

There are only 3 weeks left until my Big Move back to the UK. I have to
say that I have missed being on the Island, being away over 15 years
makes you feel like a little bit of a foreigner !! With every box I
pack I know that I am that much closer to being there again with Family
and Friends. I have missed being close to my Family and look forward to being with them again.<br />
<br />
It was fun to catch up with you all. I wish you all a wonderful week.<br />
<br />

I have been so completely and utterly occupied with packing !!!! Yes packing again.... for those who know me well, know that this is my 9th move since I have been married. I have been married for 14 years. This time though I am on my way back home... where is home I hear you ask? Home is the UK ..... it has been over 14 years since I have lived there but in just a few weeks I will be there again. I am so excited but to be honest a little overwhelmed with all the packing .... I know I should be an expert by now but it just doesnt seem to get easier. <br />

Today though we all took a little break as the sun appeared and we could feel the change of seasons . Spring is on its way and it is wonderful. Time to drop everything and head for the best place here in the Netherlands. The beach. I absolutely love the beach, especially when I am overwhelmed with the regular things of life. Its a great place to escape, to think and to find the courage to surf on the tides of change .... <br />

Its half term and my crazy "taxi mum" life is on hold for a week. Phew!!! It has been so wonderful spending the mornings in our P.J,s and not hurrying off out to do all the school runs. Just taking our time to let the day happen and unfold as it will. But what I have enjoyed most is that we have had the time to notice that Spring is on its way ..... Isn't it wonderful.<br />

Somehow though with all this time on my hands, the house has become a complete tip. There are toys absolutely everywhere. The washing basket seems to be like the <a href="http://www.kidcyber.com.au/topics/porridgepot.htm">magic porridge pot</a> ( an old childhood favorite story) as soon as it empties it just fills back up. Wish my purse was like that ?? And the dishwasher never seems to stop ... <br />
<br />
Nevertheless, I have enjoyed this time and plan on continuing to take the time to just be. I am in the middle of making a few easy crochet cushions with left over wool ... hopefully I will be able to post some pictures soon. <br />
<br />
Hope your all enjoying the half term week as much as me.<br />
<br />

I grabbed a few of the ones, where I thought the colours complimented each other and started to work on my Bits and Bobs Basket. I mixed them with T-Shirt Yarn, 400 Grams in Dark Grey. I used a 10mm Hook to start with and changed to 12mm after the second row. <br />

I didn't really have a pattern but I knew what I wanted. A round basket that would hold all my bits and bobs while I worked on the sofa in the evenings with my crochet projects. I also wanted to be able to carry it around with me easily, so I started with a basic circle...<br />

Then when I thought it was the size I was after I did the next row with sc in the back of the stitch, this helps start the sides ...<br />

I just LOVE the colours, they have all mixed in so well. I wanted to make handles so I simply did 10 Foundation Stitches both sides and worked the handles to the thickness that I wanted..... see super easy and lots of quick fun. <br />

Its my dearest S,s birthday today, she is my second daughter and she turned 11 !! I can hardly believe it, it seemed like yesterday that she was only 2 and danced along to Mulan with her toy broom .... Due to an accident involving a marble table, I could have lost her at 17 months, and I treasure every day that I am able to be her Mum. I am so grateful that I have her. <br />
<br />
She is a beautiful girl, with big brown eyes and thick, long dark hair. She has so many talents and abilities and has shown a great interest in photography. So we decided to buy her a Camera. She was of course delighted and very surprised, I am hoping that we can both learn together, something we can share and have fun with. <br />

The crown was made by her little brother S, all by himself... another aspiring artist. The book was from her Grandma, its in German. I find it amazing that my children are tri-lingual, English, Dutch and German. That is quite an achievement.<br />

So with this in mind I wanted to make sure we did her proud. Rosie and I set about in the Kitchen after the school run this morning, and a quick shop for all the ingredients.<br />
<br />
We decided to choose this for our inspiration .... I hear you .. its quite a challenge, especially for me. (Well it really was, it might look easy, but there is really an art to cake decorating ! ) <br />

Now I have to start off by saying ... I LOVE baking, or should I re-phrase that , I LOVE watching baking shows, it is so relaxing and enjoyable. I am a great fan of the <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b013pqnm">Great British Bake Off</a> and absolutely love Mary Berry and of course Paul Hollywood. But when it comes down to me being in the kitchen, somehow things don't work out quite like I imagine. I am messy, unorganised, forgetful and well lets just say interesting things happen when I bake. (That doesn't mean though that I would not love to be different so I keep trying.)<br />

We started making our Victoria Sponges, so far so good ( well you would think so !! ) We forgot the Butter. Lets be fair who makes a cake without Butter !! Nevertheless, we went onwards and upwards, with Little R making the icing in the middle..... we made 4 layers with white vanilla frosting in between.<br />
<br />
Now I realise that we should have probably added Jam or something else yummy, but at the time this was all we could manage... <br />

Although Little R is just 2 years old, she is so clever in the kitchen, I just smile when I watch how easily she finds the little tasks I set for her, even the spreading of the icing.<br />

I am sure the comments form Mary and Paul would be on texture, colour and balance right here... but oh well. We were having fun making memories, no amount of texture or colour can beat that . ( right Paul ? ) <br />
<br />
Little R was occupying herself by decorating the cupcakes ( All alone ! ) while I tackled the big Frosting Challenge.... my show stopper.<br />

My birthday girl is now tucked up in bed along with her other 3 siblings, and I sit here smiling, thinking to myself ... although its hard being a "mummy", it is one of those roles you cannot explain to others as being the best thing in this world. Lets be fair, I have had one crazy busy day , I am exhausted, so tired that at times a coherent sentence is just too hard. I only have four children but can never seem to call them by their correct names ... !! .. They love me though, they love me and hug me so much and I am so very grateful for them. They make everything in my day, in my week, in my life worthwhile.<br />
<br />
Thank you for dropping by and sharing this wonderful day with me. Happy Birthday my darling S. <br />
<br />

Despite the rainy dark weather and the hectic traffic, and despite my poor little R who was very poorly. I managed to sit for an hour with my Lovely L and make Valentines Cards.<br />
<br />
As most of you know, my Lovely L is a music Genius and I am simply in awe of her talent. With her in mind we made our designs. <br />

<br />
<a href="http://www.firstpalette.com/tool_box/printables/heart.html">Here</a> is a great site that allows you to print out heart stencils for free. We used this for the music hearts, simply copying one of my Lovely L,s music pieces and double printed the stencils on top, cut them out and there you have it ... super simple but very effective.<br />

I am making another Hot Water Bottle Cover for my lovely Mum .... I am just loving the colours, they are so vibrant and wonderful, the yellows with the purples, the blues with the oranges ... it is a pleasure to knit with this gorgeous Wool. It is called Olympia by Lana Grassa ( Colour number 027) 53% Virgin Wool. Here in the Netherlands is sells at the price of almost 8 Euro for 100g, but it is so worth it. 1 Ball makes a 2L Hot Water Bottle cover comfortably, with a little left over.<br />

Tadaaa ... Another Hot Water Bottle Finished. This particular one is a present for one of my lovely Nephews who is really more like a little brother. ( Hope that he likes it ! ) You can have one too if you like I have decided to make them upon request. <br />

<br />
Here I did a roll down top, the others were just knitted on the edge. Both in my opinion are just lovely, but the roll down top, does give it a woolly jumper type of feeling. What do you think ?<br />

<br />
I have started taking orders for these now and will be offering them at 23 Euro ( including a Fashy Hot Water Bottle ) or 17 Euro without the bottle. The wool is 100 % Wool, which ensures long lasting heat and the colour of your choice can be made. <br />
<br />
Would love to have your feedback ....<br />

For Christmas this year I made a few family members Hot Water Bottle Covers. In fact I think all together I made 13 .... they were made on 5 needles and therefore only have one seam to sew up. They are so simple to make and I think very effective. The pattern is my own, I will try and write it up soon on my Ravelry Account. <br />
<br />

<br />
I have started making another for a special person in this lovely thick 50/50 Wool Mix, I think its going to be very effective and really warm. What do you think ?<br />
<br />
Hope that you all had a great weekend. <br />

It has been a while since I have been able to post, but have been so busy getting super organised here at home. My Home has been in need of some TLC for a while, during the whole getting ready for Christmas and Christmas and our little family holiday, the home front has been neglected ... a lot.<br />
<br />
My gorgeous mam has come from Wales to help me and we have been sorting out and cleaning everything. It is starting to feel and look really good. Thanks Mam. <br />

I have been enjoying watching my lovely daffodil bulbs popping out on my kitchen windowsill and have been patiently waiting for my Hyacinthia's to catch up ... they are a little slower, but they get there in the end. <br />
<br />
I managed to have a make over on my hair, going from long straight hair, to short layered hair. It is different and is taking a bit of getting used to, but I am happy. ( I think ! ) <br />
<br />
Hopefully I will have some lovely new things to share with you all soon. Meanwhile hope that you are all well .<br />

I find myself looking forward to the Spring Months . A time of new beginnings, new starts, clean ups and simply start overs.<br />
<br />
I have been a little slow on focusing on the "new beginnings" this year, because we have been hit hard in the family with the winter bugs... Ahh! I hate being sick, it is so frustrating, especially when the children are sick, because its so hard getting on with things when you feel like hiding under the bed covers.<br />
<br />
But I am trying hard to focus on a few things that will hopefully dig me out of the blues ... take a look.<br />
<br />
1. Firstly, a new look... I want a new hair style and new hair colour. I think that as I am now 44 its time to go shorter and a little lighter, I was thinking something like this. What do you think?<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGixbuuhDo8TGf9VYzkJ9ND0mHEsD6g-POE_s76enF3kJh0W-AGtW_9tdn29AXkfeDbNe7NBZVsfKQfB_nverC6MSo_Y0nBvVohzgxdkSnRdNO5ExcSeQfov6zfepNcGNkvXgUUKlWXM8/s1600/145.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGixbuuhDo8TGf9VYzkJ9ND0mHEsD6g-POE_s76enF3kJh0W-AGtW_9tdn29AXkfeDbNe7NBZVsfKQfB_nverC6MSo_Y0nBvVohzgxdkSnRdNO5ExcSeQfov6zfepNcGNkvXgUUKlWXM8/s400/145.jpg" width="359" /></a></div>
<br />
2. The next thing I want to concentrate on is my photography skills. I love photography and wish so much I could do it better. Father Christmas was so lovely as to buy me some equipment, <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0857385488/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1">a great book </a>and a short photography course ( thanks hubby ) .... so look out 2014 here I come.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. Another project I want to start is this wonderful stripey blanket. I have long admired its colours and patterns from a lovely blog called <a href="http://littlewoollie.blogspot.nl/2011/10/mixed-stripey-blanket-end-tadah.html">Little Woollie</a> I am sure that you have heard of it, if not it is definitely worth taking a look at. I want to buy the wool, learn new stitches and take my time to make this gorgeous blanket .... just for me!! </div>

<br />
4. The fourth thing I want to start doing is ... taking some time out for "me". I want to learn to relax, ponder and meditate. I am not sure how I am going to accomplish this with a very active 2 year old running around the house, but I am going to find a way. <br />
<br />

5. Baking !! Not my strongest point. I am one of those people that absolutely LOVE cooking shows, cooking books, and cooking blogs. But somehow when I try it myself it always seems to be stressful, I make a mess, I feel exhausted... it just simply does not turn out the way it does on the Great British Bake Off !! But I am determined to learn, I had this great <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/great-breads-paul-hollywood-britains-favourite-baker/dp/B00CS4REP0">Paul Hollywood book </a>(also from Father Christmas .... thanks Mam!) and my goal is to perfect every recipe... quite a challenge I hear you say, well, I hear you!! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
6. The final thing I want to try and do is to set up an Etsy Shop or some kind of shop, on a small scale, selling a few of the things that I make. I was thinking of starting with handmade crochet hooks, which I love making. And maybe some Crochet Kits ... at the moment these are simply thoughts and ideas, but I hope as the year progresses, so do my thoughts, into action .<br />

Its hard to believe that MyLittleCorner has been going for almost a year. It has been and continues to be a lovely experience. I hope that you all continue to follow me here during 2014, and to those who find me next year, I welcome you with open arms. <br />
<br />
Lots of love and wishes for the New Year. <b><u>MyLittleCorner</u></b>mylittlecornerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17883902506778855380noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6330816415103832299.post-43666166711832014552013-12-24T23:54:00.002+01:002013-12-24T23:54:24.737+01:00Christmas EveIts Christmas Eve, my most favorite time of the year.

much of it ! ) and enjoyed a wonderfully exciting day together as a

Both gifts are SUPER easy to make and go pretty fast. I mean if I can manage to make them with a house full of sick children, anyone can. <br />
<br />
The nice thing about giving Homemade Jam as presents is that you get to enjoy the lovely yummy aromas of Cranberries and Chilli's filling your home. (Personally my favorite part) .<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I decided to make the basic Cranberry Jam, always a must for Christmas I think and something a little spicier ... Sweet Chili Jam. The Cranberry Jam recipe you can find <a href="http://www.recipegirl.com/2013/11/25/easy-cranberry-sauce-recipe/">here</a>. I chose this one because basically she promised that it was the easiest recipe ever ... and it was. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
You can find the recipe for the Chili Jam<a href="http://www.alifeofgeekery.co.uk/2013/09/sweet-sticky-chilli-jam.html"> here,</a>
It is such a great recipe and it is so forgiving, (again my favorite
type of recipe,) you can make errors in the ingredients measurements and
it still works out great. Phew!! Thank goodness. <br />
<br />
The colours of the chilli's were so fiery and Christmasy, I just loved making this jam, I say Jam but it is more like a Sweet Relish and it is gorgeous with crackers and cheese. (The little bit left over is already all gone, even the children loved it)<br />
<br />

Making them pretty is the most work you have to do, but personally I love prettifying things so this was easy relaxing work. You can do this according to your own style, I thought it would be cute to add a teeny tiny spoon to each one, you can get them really cheap in a pack of 6, which was lucky as I had 6 teachers. <br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The labels were also very simple to make, well for me anyway because I delegated this task to my lovely L who made them for me!! (Thank you my darling) She used some <a href="http://www.bridalindulgencetx.com/diy/free-downloads/">free printable downloads </a>moved them over to Paint and filled in the text for me. Didn't she do a great job ? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I wanted to make two Thank You gifts for some special people who have throughout the year been there for me. So I decided to decorate these a little differently. I hope that they like them. </div>

<br />
The second gift I made today, literally takes less than half an hour to make... seriously that quick !<br />
You can find the tutorial <a href="http://kirinote.blogspot.nl/2007/07/how-to-make-reversible-journal-cover.html">here</a> on a lovely blog that I stumbled across called lara cameron, I thought it was brilliant. It has my mind thinking of all the ways I can embellish them with buttons, embroidery and other wonderful bits and bobs. <br />

Again these gifts are intended for Thank You / Christmas Gifts for two special people.. just need to finish them off ever so slightly and voila.<br />
<br />
Do you have any homemade Teachers Gifts that you have made. I would LOVE to hear about them.<br />
<br />
As for now, its time for me to be the Mummy again and put my lovely, ever so poorly children to bed.<br />

<u><b> Unfortunately,</b></u> here at MyLittleCorner it smells more like Eucalyptus and Olibus Oil, as three out of four of the children are really sick. High Fever, Heavy Colds, Headaches and an Awful Cough are but a few of their symptoms. It has been quite an exhausting week of disturbed sleep and lots and lots of tears. So far I have luckily escaped the plague and I am hoping that it stays that way... there is just far too much to do this close to Christmas. <br />
<br />
I did find on the wonderful web ... a recipe for a great <a href="http://betterdecoratingbible.com/2012/12/14/diy-friday-smells-of-the-season-easy-christmas-potpourri-mix/">Christmas Top of the Stove Pot Pourri</a> and I am so tempted to give it a go. We desperately need to get some warm Christmasy smells going on here .<br />

Maybe this will motivate me to continue with the Christmas Preparation's. I <strike>want</strike> need to concentrate on the Teachers Gifts and School Christmas Cards. Also I want to write my Christmas Food Shopping List .... so hopefully I will stay healthy. <br />
<br />
I have searched for a few ideas on homemade Teachers Gifts and have read many many articles about how teachers receive homemade gifts. Some are for and it seems many are against .... Mmmm well,as most of my family received homemade gifts this year, that's what the teachers are getting too.<br />
<br />
I have fancied making Jam and think that a small pot or two of homemade Christmas Jam will be the perfect gift. I have been inspired by the following posts ... take a look, doesn't it just make you feel like whipping out the saucepan and start filling your house with gorgeous yummy jam smells.... <i>( I think I am just looking for reasons to fill my home with festive smells.... )</i><br />

I fancied giving <a href="http://www.nigella.com/recipes/view/chilli-jam-2692">Niegella Lawsons Chilli Jam recipe</a> a go. I actually saw her on a Christmas Cooking Programme while I sat and Nursed Little R. It looked so warming and I could just imagine the tingy smells lingering from my Kitchen Stove, but then I came across this <a href="http://www.alifeofgeekery.co.uk/2013/09/sweet-sticky-chilli-jam.html">Blog,</a> and read her comments about the recipe and well, she made sense, so I might give her recipe a go. Either way, I guess it all depends if I can get out to the shops tomorrow with my poorly children, to buy the ingredients and jars.<br />
<br />
I already have a few ideas on how I will decorate them. <br />
<br />
How are your plans going ? Do you have any easy, simple , cheap ideas for Teachers Christmas Presents. Baring in mind I am on Nursing Duty at the moment !!<br />
<br />
Take Care everyone, wrap up and keep warm and healthy, Christmas is almost here.<br />
<br />
Lots of Love from<b><u> MyLittleCorner. </u></b><br />
