Floral Finds

Hello there!
I hope you have had a great week....over here on the Causeway Coast the sun has finally come out & the flowers have been enjoying a sunny respite from the rain
I've been trying to get a better grasp of instagram & its amazing filters, but unfortunately I think (yet again) my children are better at it than me... This is Hannah's photo from a sunset walk....
Anyway, if you are on instagram do let me know, or if you have any tips I'd love to hear them... I'm birdsongstitches - I think...
As you can probably tell, I've been spending a lot of time in the garden enjoying the flowers & scents (in between weeding & grass cutting) & dreaming up lots of stitchy possibilities,  so I thought I would share some flowery loveliness with you ...

Hope you have a lovely rest of the week & wherever you are, that the sun shines - at least a wee bit!
Take care

Creative Christmas Planner

Hello There!
I hope you have had a good week. Mine has been busy, busy, busy. I've been working away getting something special organised for you.... but before I reveal all, let me explain a wee thing....
The main reason I started blogging & also the reason this blog is called "Listen to the birds sing" is because I have been so inspired by the creativity of you all out there & I guess this is my way of, in some small way, giving back. Although I have only been blogging for a couple of months now, I really want to help encourage & inspire you all in your creative efforts. With Christmas starting to approach & all the wonderful creativity out there I thought this would be a perfect time to do this......

So, without further ado, let me introduce you to: Creative Christmas For the next couple of months I will be posting tutorials for printables, sewing & cooking projects for the festive season. Now I know that there are lots of tutorials out there... but the focus of these will be different... I want to show you how to be wonderfully creative with MAXIMUM LOVE, but MINIMAL COST.... What do you think? I'd love for you to be part of Creative Christmas so if you have a tutorial or project that you think would be good to share, I'd love for you to email me & I'll be happy to post it. I've also created a button over there on the right hand side for you to grab if you would like to share the festive spirit....
To get the ball rolling, here is the first Creative Christmas project: A Scrappy Christmas Planner... all you need is scraps of fabric, wadding, card & ribbons
To view or download & print the tutorial, just click here on: Scrappy Christmas Planner Tutorial
I hope you enjoy it!
If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to email me
Do call back in a day or two to see some fantastic printables you can download to put into your planner
Hope you all have a lovely weekend & get a chance to listen to the birds sing!
Take Care
Karen
