1 week to go!

Ok, so one week to go and there is still muc to do. I made this last weekend. Ring pillow/cushion/pot thing. Felt & Muslin like the teacosies. It will hold moss in the centre if the stuff Mum has grown will survive. If not we can do like I mocked up here with a second piece of felt: 

These are the shoes for you Jo-Bags, hope they fit even with swollen pregnant feet:

I still have to make more of this:

 And more of this:

And hopefully some better ones of these; if I make some of the ribbon with the keys on one edge rather than down the centre they will show up better when made into a rosette thing:

Wish me luck with all this work!

Christine's Christmas Bunting

 This is some of the bunting Christine (my partners Mum for those who don't know) handmade to sell at the stall next weekend. Isn't it amazing?! There are some strings with large flags and some with smaller ones (the teddies are holding the smaller ones).

The stall will be at the Fowlmere Village Hall Famers Market on Saturday 11th Dec for those who want to know. Its a little village between Cambridge and Royston; come along if you are local! 

Oh and the photos are taken by Mum; thanks Mum for unpacking the parcels and displaying the bunting, and thanks to Ted MacDougal and Bunny too!

What a busy week its been!

Ok so first things first; the coat. Won it on ebay; its a Whistles coat, not new but not in bad condition.A proper winter coat, thick, heavy and big!

Secondly; the Country Living's Christmas Fair. Went to the gala evening and took some photos for inspiration: 

Lots of bunting around, lots of wreaths, and lots and lots and lots of hearts!

 Felt shapes on mini pegs; would be good to make some for displaying Christmas cards...?

And thirdly; my own decorations! I've been hand stitching little xmas trees for the last week or so, leaving the bottoms open ready for stuffing and the final sew up. Not bought any stuffing yet; ran out last week. 

The wreath is from the fair, as is the holly apron that everything is resting on. The Scandinavian looking fabric was from the fair too, in a scrap bin; bargain.
