Odds and ends plus Christmas craft links!

If you want to buy the 2014 Polka & Bloom fabric calendar AND save a bit on the price, the 12.5% off ends today! And I will say this, I have only ordered a limited number of calendars, so once they're gone.. they're gone! I just checked and right now there are 7 left. Use the code BIRDS at checkout. :-)

And something else. The winner of the Ampersand piece from Hoop-La is... *drumroll* Carmen! She has been notified etc and the Ampersand is making its way to her. Congrats to Carmen - and thank you to everyone who entered in the giveaway. :-)

Now, if you were around the crafty part of the internet on Monday you may have seen a few crafty Christmas tutorials and free patterns pop up on blogs and Instagram etc etc..? That's no coincidence! Laura at Bugs & Fishes had organised a day of sharing all that crafty goodness to inspire the crafty Christmas making. I made the Trinket Mobile in the photo up there, but check out all these other great things to make!
