The overall effect of them is quite pleasing. I have put some gingerbread fabric onto a kitchen towel and added a gingerbread cutter for a gift.
I intend to use the towel to line a Christmas hamper. For Bertie my eldest Grandson I have made a cowboy boot fabric backed with dark green fleece throw for the end of his bed. A perfect addition for his cowboy themed room.
Lily and Daisy have matching throws for their beds, using the fabric I used to make their Christmas sacks last year.
A pleasing overall effect bound with an added TY Jingle Beanie. I have already embellished towels for Wilbur with some Christmas Mickey Mouse fabric and I have made him a shelf elf out of a kit that I bought from Mount Dora.
I also bought some vintage tree decorations that are yet to be made up from the same vendor at Renningers Street of shops, Mount Dora, Florida.
Slowly but surely I am getting through the Christmas fabric stash and making some lovely stocking gifts which is quite pleasing. How are you getting on with Christmas preparations, or is Christmas in August too early for you?
See you soon.
The girls love their throws mama thankyou so much. X
ReplyDeleteYou are very talented. The throws are great. Lovely present ideas as very personal.x
ReplyDeleteOh if only I was this organized. Yes Christmas in August is a little early for me but I commend you for getting the work done early. Makes for a stress free December, Im sure. The presents are great.
ReplyDeleteThanks you for you comment.

I'm an early Christmas organiser too! I've already bought gifts and stashed them, and now I'm making a start on some handmades...
ReplyDeleteI really love those stuffed toy elves, we do a Christmas Advent calendar and something like that would make a great substitute for candy/chocolate!!
Wow, I never knew about kits. Do you simply cut around it and sew at the points marked out.? If so, where can I get hold of similar kits and what do I ask for?. Forgive me I am a complete novice at sewing but this looks like something I can do.
ReplyDeleteThanks
You did a wonderful job on the blankets and they look so soft and cozy :)
ReplyDeleteAnd the little elf is adorable! Happy weekend to you
This is what I SHOULD be doing, but never do. WOW...very cute, very impressive, very inspiring.

Such wonderful things. I love the idea of the fabric and fleece combo for the blankets and the gingerbread man fabric on the tea towel with the cookie cutter - that is just too cute! xx
ReplyDeleteYou're really on top of things. It all looks lovely, well done.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabrics !!! Your creations are really lovely...
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend !

All of your Christmas goodies are motivating me to start listing Christmas stuff in my Etsy shops!!! It's been cooler here than normal for New York in August and I can't help but be excited for autumn. It's going to take me a little longer to be ready for winter though. Last winter was a whopper with cold temps and snow and I'm thinking our mild temps now are a hint of things to come. LOL!!! Enjoy your weekend!!! xo
