summery christmas gift tags


christmas gift tags with a summery vibe i made from rescued wrapping paper and the martha stewart snowflake punch i love so much.  i might have to go try to buy some of that paper if it's still around to make more or i may not part with these. i defo prefer the blue string (its op-shopped crochet cotton).

i've been otherwise busy creating the last present for my advent swap (i'm giddy with joy at how it turned out and can't wait to show you) and knitting-unpicking-knitting-unpicking-knitting-knitting-knitting... speaking of which i'm keen to make several pairs of those cool wrist warmers to go in my present stash, since it's such a good sitting-down-when-tired-and-preggy craft. the dove grey & mustard combo look ace, and i really want to make a violet & red pair, but it'd be great to have some more colour combo suggestions ideas since i'm on the verge of visiting a yarn store.

do you have a present stash? mine has multiples of things i made in it, and cool stuff i find in op shops but  that aren't me, and, ahem, a few re-gifts. it's only second to having children in the making me feel grown up stakes and i highly recommend it!

  6. The tags look beautiful. You ARE a proper grown up if you are organised enough to have a present stash - I am still working on it! xxx

  7. We have a present cupboard (or at least a shelf in the wardrobe)Unfortunately it is also the kids' favourite hiding place, so this year it has been supplemented with secret stashes in the garage too. Those gift tags rock!

  8. Pretty tags, like them a lot.
    We do have a present stash, but my boyfriend maintains it. It's mostly stuff given to us, which we have not liked but because he is not really good at letting go he keeps them to be given to friends. Bad thing is that most of the stuff there is not something our friends either will like or need.

  13. LOVE your tags! The paper is gorge. I do have a stash as a matter of fact... it's become a little depleted in the past few months - lost of birthdays, and no time to find/make new stuff post bubby. That will change soon though. As forf colours, what about something pale like duck egg blue combined with petrol blue? Enjoy crafting up a storm till your little bundle arrives. :)
