Julie, I thought of your Yule logs the other day when I was at Matalan, they are selling pink/white ones and yours immediately sprang to my mind. Great sock cupcakes ................

Julie, where do you get your soaps from? i did these last year but used bath pearls as i could not find any soaps!!

The "sock cupcakes" are a bit of fun, I like how you've packaged them up too. Fab stocking-fillers.

nothing much scrapping related but most of my family are getting aprons and chef hats this year! (pics on my blog) worked out really cheap, i did 2 childrens aprons and 2 chef hats out of 2 meters of fabric and then got cheap wooden spoons and whisks.... two good gifts under a tenner if you can sew!
Also made a tutu for my DD (no sewing needed and really simple and very cheap!) and plans for playdough too.
will be doing handprint cups for the grandparents.

and th babies are getting baby legwarmers sewn from long socks.
