Happy Holidays

Before it gets busy I thought I would wish everyone a very Merry Christmas & happy new year 🥳

Felt Angel Stocking

I have finally finished my kit, it was started before the new Millennium, when I was visiting by Mum & Dad in Atlanta. Mum took me to Michaels for the first time, being from the UK I had never seen large craft stores on this scale. I got this in their Christmas in July event, again something I hadn’t seen before. I think that is why I remember where & when it arrived in my stash, it’s good to see it finally finished.

Now what next …. something new or something from the stash??🤔

White Work Butterfly

I’ve been trying out white work with this little kit.

New year craft

This year I made some sew on sequins calendars for some friends for Christmas.

They are quite pretty.

Luna & I wish everyone a happy & prosperous new year.

SAL: Christmas 2018

This time I have actually managed some back stitching

Finished all 3 birdies, they will be hung on my little tree later today

Have any of you played this game

We got it as a quick game to play over Christmas, it’s really good. You have a currency of buttons & you buy patches as you go, to place on your quilt board. All the patches are different sizes, you can only buy any of the next 3 patches in front of the marker ( if you have enough buttons) you get extra button income from the buttons on your quilt patches. It get interesting when you start to become unable to fit patches on the board ( especially if you have a tactical opponent such as my husband)

Bracelets

Over the summer I’ve been making a few different bracelets

This one is made by crocheting the beads on to a wire, then winding on to the bangle.

The second one is made on memory wire.

Twirls & Swirls: Beaded scissor keeper

I’ve finished my scissor keeper, it was a kit by Lorna Bateman. I added the ribbon to make sure the expensive gold work scissors did not go missing or get used for other things.

I designed the back my self.

I still have the thimble keeper to make, I thought it might be good to keep the beeswax in. I have another couple of Lorna Bateman kits waiting too.

Ribbon embroidery pin cushion

I finally finished the roses before Christmas, to give to my Mum.

Who loved it.

Felt Christmas decorations 2

The turtle dove is finished

Felt Christmas decorations

This year we decided on a pre lit pop up tree. I added some extra ribbon (like the more expensive version) but it still lacked some thing. I have been looking at the twelve days of Christmas felt decorations by Larissa Holland on Etsy & brought the pack of the first 3 ( this years offerings)

Partridge & pear (tree) are finished.
