Christmas However You'd Like It.

And just like that Christmas is on the horizon. My thoughts turned to Christmas makes and markets a while ago but now it finally feels safe to talk about the festive season. The merriest time of year and yet September still feels a little too soon to be thinking of all things Christmas. But you've got to be prepared and I'm easing you in with fun, bright blues and purples - because why does Christmas have to be all reds and greens?

As with all my cards I can customise any design you like. Would you like a penguin with one more hat? Or perhaps a snowman with a spotty scarf? Please do ask because I'd be happy to work with you to create something you love for someone special. You can always contact me on Facebook or by email at katiesarah.makes@hotmail.co.uk

I will be sharing more Christmas cards and handmade goodies, as well as info on the markets and fairs I'll be at this year, with you soon!

I hope you've had a lovely day.

Handcrafted Christmas

It has been a little while since I was last here. The time has slipped away in a whirl of summer days and preparations for Christmas. Yes Christmas. It is September and I am well into prep for the festive season. Soon I'll be sharing info on the markets I'll be at as well as this year's Christmas card designs. As ever they will be available to order and personalise.

For now, if you'd like something special this Christmas or are looking for a nice seasonal gift why not have a look at some of my handknitted decorations.

For as long as I have been attending Christmas fairs I have been selling garlands alongside my handcrafted cards and this year they are once again available to order! The standard garlands are a 10 hatted string for £10 and a five hatted string for £5 + postage and packaging. Each hat measures approximately 3.5cm x 4cm.

If you're interested in a custom garland, with any number of hats, don't hesitate to get in touch - I would love to discuss this and pricing with you. You can contact me on Facebook or by email at katiesarah.makes@hotmail.co.uk.

You can also keep an eye on my Etsy shop for handmade garlands and decorations including my favourite handknitted robins. They're a lovely addition to any tree and they won't splinter at the hands of little fingers or troublesome pets.

I can personalise a robin with any letter for an extra special touch -  I've sold them before as a gift for a baby's first Christmas.

If when you think of Christmas you think of snow, I'll be back soon with my handknitted snowman decoration. Choose your colours and your letter for the perfect Christmas pressie.

I hope you've had a lovely day!
