The group who met in Swaffham yesterday evening made these great little lined bags. They all did a great job despite a tricky lining fabric, sorry my fault! 🤦‍♀️

I think they all look very professional 🌟

Just a little something I made the other day 💙

Hannah, my daughter, was bridesmaid at her friend's wedding, so obviously she gifted them a few Smart Alec Designs personalised pieces 😁

Congratulations to Polly & Jordan 💕

Hands up if you're melting 🙋‍♀️

The car air-con was calling and I've popped over to The Norfolk Gift Company in Watton today to do a quick restock of some items.

There's now new stock of filled baby baskets in all varieties, Born In 2026 baby blankets and more embroidered baskets, including sheep, hedgehogs, Highland cows and hares too.

Also a couple of door stops, a giraffe and a cat. Who needs a boring doorstop in this weather! 😁
