Preparing for Christmas 2013

Pleased with what I have done so far.  On track I think to get everything done for Christmas. Our family from Canterbury left lunch time, we had the two from Ilminster as well, quite crowded but loved it   

Stevie and Luke

Stevie, Toby, Rosie and Luke

They all get on so well, it is pure pleasure having them here.

Hair decorations for Gin

Hair decoration for Rosie

I made some small red bows for Gin but didn't photograph them I will get her to send me a picture to add they are quite sweet even if I do say so myself.  Have to make her some holly leaves too

I am really pleased with my crocheting, feel I can do it now, my next project will probably go horribly wrong now.   Wasn't sure what I had posted and what I hadn't.  Looking back - Nothing!!!!

Some decorations Gem and I were going to do for her playschool sale, but we weren't sure when it was so we missed it.  Now the family have various tree decs!!!!

I have given Gin her cushion covers so I can put them on here now.

material and ribbons

Deciding on ribbons 

1st one

2nd one

I have also expanded on the poppy idea I made last month by doing different colours and adding centres.   I am really pleased with them.  Have also made felt flowers.

The one I decided to use, the other one is on a clip

1st attempt, quite pleased with it

I like the second flower better than the first one, so put the second one on a clip for Rosie,

There must be a better way to arrange these photos than the way I am doing it, I can't get them where I want them.  The basket was supposed to be after the two felt flowers!!!!!!!

That is all I am going to put for now, have loads more to do, have done Jazzy's bits which will put on here after she has seen them, then Gems.

Signing out on a Sunday evening - rather tired.
