Christmas Crafts 2018

Incorporating hobbies, computer games, Verm's Interesting Links and anything else you can think of excluding football and other spectator sports because these belong in the Sport section, but allowing sports you play yourself with your own body as that counts as a pastime.

Only if they often use two strands of yarn at the same time.

The colours are wonderful, they are coordinated enough to look coherent together.

I went to a “Twinkle Twinkle” craft night. We made woven fabric stars, started a wreath (but my stitching was too slow) and a tiny flower arrangement in a mini lantern. All for £20 which I think was great value.

I’ve left everyone else still going for it, but I wanted something compact.

I need to find a wreath workshop - my friend normally runs them but doesn't seem to be doing one this year, which is marginally annoying.

Printed the lino holly, quite please really. The red berry lifts it. Did some on tracing paper which worked really well too.

I LOVE these - I'd love to be able to make something like that. They reminded me of something and it took ages but Windy Miller :love:

You are all so talented! I have no offerings to show but A did make a wreath with candles last week, it’s lovely. I can’t ipload photos, otherwise I’d show you.

Those teddy bear quilted beds are adorable (to quite my 4 year old). I’m going to find someone that can do them for me.
