H is For...

Handmade.Or a blog dedicated to the things that Charlotte (and her mum) make for me.
For me, nothing means more to me than when someone makes something for me. It shows that a genuine effort has been put in and it makes me appreciate it all the more. I am lucky enough to have an amazing mom who is extremely crafty so occasionally I try to make presents for my friends (bunting is a definite favourite!). My best friend is also lucky enough to have a mom that is amazing at making things. Although we are now four months down the line, I am going to show you the Christmas presents that my best friend, Charlotte (and her mum, I do believe) made for me.
Although the picture does not do it justice in any way, she made me a little bag to keep my HTC Flyer inside. It is greatly appreciated as I am forever dropping it and as it is the pouch is quilted my tablet is cushioned very well!

She also made me the cutest little bird keyring.

And an amazing owl phone holder to match. It is the cutest thing I have ever seen and as my favorite things in the whole world are leopard print and bright pink I love it all the more - She clearly knows me too well!
 

So there were my Christmas presents. Words cannot express how much I love them. They were insanely cute and Charlotte clearly had put so much work in to my presents I think they are even more fantastic!
I went round to Charlotte's house a few weeks ago and I hadn't seen her mom in so long but she told me had set up a craft stall at the village fete but had a few things left over. She let me look through and take the bits that I liked the look of (everything!!!) but I settled for these few bits...
Some brooches that she had made, they are the most adorable things ever and look so cute on my denim jacket.


  Another bird keyring -  you can never have too many and again, it is the cutest thing ever. Even the ribbon says 'Love' on it; these things make me happy.
  And finally I stole this keyring. My mom really likes Russian dolls and I thought she would love it. You can see how much effort has been put into it and I though it was absolutely fabulous. Mum definitely agreed; she thought it was amazing and has now attached it to her handbag!
  I would also like to say that Charlotte's mom makes the best ever cakes, too, but unfortunately myself and Charlotte always eat them far too quickly to take any photographs - what a shame.  I am lucky to have so many people around me who are so talented and are willing to make these things for me; it is the most amazing thing when I receive gifts that people have clearly put so much time and effort in to and it makes me treasure the gifts just that little bit more!
