I’m not going to be going into the wreath making business it looked so much better just after it was made but I think it needed more wire.

I love the bow!

I did mine today too.

Just seen these on FB marketplace. I thought it was a good idea and might inspire some of the seaglass collectors!

That’s so cute!

[Margo]

I’ve just ordered air dry clay and cookie cutters from Amazon. Be afraid!

I’ve been making god knows how many pom-poms and will crochet a string-thing to attach them to. I did a red version last year and some of my friends really loved it so I’m doing more… they’re lovely wound round fairy lights and hung over a mirror

[Pippedydeadeye]

Spamming my wreath too!

[Kleio]

All the wreaths are lovely!

That ring is something else though - I'd love to make one. The stained glass is beautiful too. I think I'd probably use it as a coaster or find a way to hang it on a window.

I'm going to give the seaglass tree a go as I've got TONS of the stuff.

ALL the wreaths are beautiful

Lily’s SIL asked me to copy her daughter’s Christmas stocking (made I think by Lily’s grandmother) for her son. She very kindly sent me T’s stocking and some leftover fabric so I had the original to copy and the same fabric for the outside.

I had to make it ever so slightly (about 1.5cm) wider because Z, a and c are wider letters than l and i. But I think they are pretty close to identical. You may have to click on the photo and enlarge it to see the beading and embroidery. (Side note; I took the beading out twice and redid it because I wasn’t happy with it!)
Lily’s SIL has given me permission to show the names:

It is the same fabric; it looks different colours just because the nap has been brushed downwards on one.

[Kleio]

You are so clever Rosy!

[rosy]

Thank you! All I can see is what I could have done better. The y isn’t quite straight and one bit of it is slightly too wide. And the loops on the wrapped twisted chain embroidery (which was really difficult) aren’t quite perfect circles.

I suspect that I will only ever see the flaws

[Lily]

It is absolutely perfect Rosy. You could not have done a better job; we're all thrilled. Thank you SO MUCH!

[wendy james]

It looks brilliant.

Here is my wreath - an improvement on last year's I think, but bloody hell the back view through the door! I need to put some foil up or something as that white face-thing keeps scaring me.

[Cerise]

That would make me jump!

I did a little sale today. It wasn’t that busy but I did ok. The tea towels are a PTA fundraiser.

[Kleio]

I collect nutcrackers and I like to paint them too. Cube asked for his own this year so I made this.

I still need to take a photograph of his Tree-Rex that I’ve made too.

[wendy james]

Cute!

[rosy]

So clever!

[Arrietty]

You are so clever!

[wendy james]

I can show stuff as it’s opened now. This was fun to make.
