The Start Of Christmas Crafting

A start has been made and although very early, necessary due to our travel plans.  Yes Christmas crafting has started, so far I have resisted the Christmas music.  But the notebook has been out and diaries have been consulted and due to inclement weather today, planning.  Gift toppers have been made for the children, a primitive style clothes peg snowman which will double up as a tree decoration.  A simple but fiddly make.

You can still see some of the glue used to secure the buttons, now that it is dry it has disappeared.  They do need to be sanded back a little once they have hardened off.   I had loads of Christmas fabric that I had bought from a car boot sale earlier in the year.  Consequently I have made each family a sack with their family name, making transporting the gifts easier.  A fun practical addition.

Fully lined and all ready for some of the gifts to go in.

Some Harris Tweed was quickly turned into a cowl, warm and hard wearing.

Back to Christmas fabric and a couple of shopping bags have been made, requested by Wilbur and Hector.  Wilbur wanted a Christmas bag so that he can do his  shopping.

Another crochet project has been started using some beautiful yarn.

 

Mickey likes to get into the picture, he is a real poser.

  

A beautiful scarf in the making, I love the different hues of colour.  A start has been made and plans changed, added to and edited.  Have you made a start yet, or are you a last minute type of person?

  World events have been uppermost in our minds and everyone affected by such adverse conditions are in our thoughts and prayers.  As always thank you for your support and most welcome comments.

See you soon.
