12 days of Christmas–on the 7th
19/12/2014
On the seventh day of Christmas…………….
“….my true love gave to me, seven swans a swimming.”
You are all wonderful, I have received some fab emails about my lack of Christmas MOJO.
You are all right, I have been working with Christmas since July.
No wonder my brain has said NO more JOSE!
Ok back to our 12 days of Christmas……………
…….another wicked creation from Laura.
That is one wicked swan, I am guessing the other 6 have gone on ahead!
Laura used grosgrain 9mm ribbon to make her swan.
Please do check out the other girls creations here
Today is our last day in the warehouse until 2015……..looking forward to the break,
although (another tease) I am working on a brand new launch of something really scrummy for 2015.
Please follow the rest of the 12 days of Christmas on the Inspiration blog, I am sorry I am just wiped out.
Have a fantastic Christmas and a super New Year, and I will return in January with all batteries charged.
Have Fun
12 days of Christmas–on the 6th

On the sixth day of Christmas…………….
“….my true love gave to me, six geese a laying.”
Now if I had Marianne’s card making skills this could be mine!
That is a delightful image Marianne. Who would not feel really special to receive this card.
Hope you are all enjoying our 12 Days of Christmas. I think it is about time for me to admit that my MOJO has gone AWOL. I do not have one Christmas creation in my head. Now that could be because it is full to the brim with Spring ribbon designs. Oooh did I forget to mention that before.
Well I am working on ???????? and one complete range of ?????? has already been sent to the factory.
You really did not expect me to tell you. You should know be by now I am a right tease with my new designs.
So please forgive my lack of Christmas Inspiration, but in my head it is already warm and spring like!
I am really hoping once we shut for Christmas on Friday, I may become all Christmassy again – wish me luck.
Don’t forget to check out the design girls creations on the Inspiration blog.

12 days of Christmas–on the 5th
17/12/2014
On the fifth day of Christmas…………….
“….my true love gave to me, five gold rings.”
I am really not doing very well following the song – sorry no gold rings……………….
………….but I do have 5 little elves!
There is ribbon around the cake board.
Oooh I would love to claim this as my own creation…………but it was made by a local lady.
Nicki pops into the warehouse for her ribbons and this is HER Christmas cake.
Check out her Facebook page if you get a moment have a look House of Cake
One very simple question – could you cut this cake?
Time to ask you to have a look at the other design girls creations here.
Have a great day

12 days of Christmas–on the 4th
16/12/2014
On the fourth day of Christmas…………….
“….my true love gave to me, four calling birds.”
I do not have any calling birds, but I do have four wrapped parcels calling for their owners!
All wrapped up in plain metallic paper and our silver wired sheer ribbon here.
I added a single glitter snowflake to finish the effect.
Super single easy bows, but make the parcels extra special.
Our design team have made some super creations, please do check them out on our Inspiration blog

How cool is he.
Laura used our Swiss dot grosgrain ribbon.

Hello wednesday–robins
26/11/2014
It has been rather a ribbon whirlwind the last couple of weeks,
not much time for crafting or creating.
Just been busy selling ribbons! Ooh and buttons and kits.
I did manage to make these cards before leaving for the Paris show.
A very simple idea.
Our show season is almost over. We leave for our last show of the year tomorrow.
We are heading back to London to the Excel exhibition centre.
Hope to see some of you there over the weekend.
Owl Advent alert
14/11/2014
Good afternoon all.
Just wanted to give you a quick update.
Do you remember the 4 large parcels that were delivered mid October.
The ones that contained my EUREKA ribbons?
The Owl advent pocket ribbons.
Well……………………………………………………………………….
They are nearly all gone.
And so are these
Both the ribbons and the kits are now limited stock.
They will remain on the website here until Monday morning then all the stock we have left will be taken to our Paris show on Monday evening. We are not expecting to have any stock left to take to the Excel Hobbycrafts show at the end of November, unless the French ladies do not like them!
So please, to avoid disappointment order them before MONDAY.
