I love these! Please can I ask what pattern you followed? I’ve made several zippered pouch type things, I fancy trying a different pattern next time. And the tissue pouch is a great idea.

That’s a great dress, Wendy!

Here are a few bits I’ve sorted for the craft table at the pop up sale. I also have two blankets, a couple of hats and some other things I can’t remember just now.

I made this hat but it’s so lovely that I’m keeping it. It sparkles!

Its a simplicity one for the bags. It includes two paper rectangles for the tissue holder, which are quite unnecessary. :lol:

Here’s my set up. I sold a hat (to the lady organising the sale) before it even made it on to the table! :))

That looks brilliant Cerise. That blue/grey blanket is so lovely. If I wasn't already slightly over-blanketed I'd have bought that! Let us know how it goes.

The blankets are only pram sized. I heard that one of the bags sold today.

My silver hat, Lazz? My brim is different but the main body of the hat is from here. It DID NOT take 1.5 hours. :lol:

Penguins and pandas.

My sister wants a face mask in the penguin fabric. :)) I can rarely be arsed pattern matching for something that will be worn for a short time, but I should have looked for decapitated penguins. :ella:

The panda fleece is for Elvis’s next dressing gown, which I haven’t yet made but as I’ve cut out the pieces I could see there was enough for some leggings. I’m hoping it will help convince her to come out for a walk. :lol:

I bet I could almost fit in that penguin dress. Tell Elvis to hide it when I next visit. :))

I cannot believe I am joining this thread. :lol:

I have started a six week floristry course at our local college. Predominantly Christmas themed, but I am just dabbling to see if it is something I have a flair for before I think about undertaking a proper course.

This week was wreath making (the willow back took significantly longer than the decorations!). I chose rosemary so I could hang it up now as it isn’t too Christmassy. I need to add some more to make it more bushy and I will take the holly off.

And we have started making willow Christmas trees. I am struggling with mine as the sticks holding it together keep slipping when I weave around them. I think a spot of glue will help, but future me is going to hate getting this back out next Wednesday to continue / try and fix. :duh:

The wreaths are all looking good!

I remember spending a good chunk of my wreath workshop on the willow, but this is the third Christmas coming up where I get to reuse it, so it was worth it!
