It's nearly Christmas!!!

It's been completely manic over the past month or so.  I can't wait to have a little rest and get on with some drawing and crocheting/knitting again! And it's already begun! You may have spotted my little baby booties about and a few of you have asked for the pattern for them which I will share below... So here are the little baby booties in question... 

Aren't they just adorable?  They are made for ages 0-3 months and are knitted in Sirdar Simply Recycled Aran yarn which is made up of 51% recycled cotton.  Fancy making your own? I found the pattern for these on Ravelry right here.  It took just one evening to do to! So is great if you need a 'quick fix'!

So before I head off and get on with my endless list of things to do I thought I'd remind you that over the festive holiday's we will be operating a limited service.  See the picture below for opening times :)  

^ ^ ^ It's during these times we will be here at HOW HQ cracking on with your orders, answering messages and making up pieces.  So don't fear if you don't get a reply instantly to your messages this is why ;) 

From everyone at HOW HQ we wish you a truly magical and glitter filled Christmas and a happy healthy new year.  Thank you so much for sticking with us!

Make you own Pug Coffee Wrap

So I was thinking it's about time we had a little free printable and hows this one for you?...

This lovely chap is Bernie! You might recognize him from our prints, mirrors and more! So I was thinking he would look awesome on a paper coffee cup. You can print him however many times you wish but please don't sell him. He would be great for breakfast in bed, tea party's and even pug themed weddings. Here is the other side of the wrap...

So here is the printable:

Print him at 100%, best quality on A4 paper for best results. Cut it out and cellotape it around your cup and voilà! instant cuteness!

Hope you enjoyed this printable! Post your photos on our facebook, twitter and instagram!

Spiffing Notebook Labels

Today I have been organising all my lists! Who'd of thought a girl can have so many different lists? Lists to make lists! So I decided it's time to sort this out... I had these notebooks lying about and had to go to Tesco to purchase a diary (until I find my other one OOOOPS!)

So I created the spiffing little labels to go on the front.
Get yours here: Craftsy

Print your labels at best quality. (You could print them on label paper too ;))

I then laminated mine (because I like shiny) and then cut them out.

Next just glue them down with your favourite glue! I like UHU

And Taaaa dahhhh! Prepare to be organised!

I hope you enjoy using these labels. Please DO NOT SELL ANY PRODUCTS MADE FROM THIS DESIGN & PLEASE DO NOT RE-DISTRIBUTE THIS PATTERN! Thank you!!!!!! :)
