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!

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

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.

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.
