NOW I CAN SHOW YOU



 Now that Christmas is over I can show you the Christmas Day gifts I made for the FHFS. I was delighted when I found out that Barb was the one I needed to buy and make Advent gifts for. Knowing that she loves snowmen I decided to make a wall hanging for her using some stitchery patterns I have been itching to use. I used Cottage Garden thread called Mistleto.


 
 
Around that time I had discovered the joy of using wool felt and wanted to make something else for Barb with the snowman theme. So, off to google land I went, found a basic snowman pattern then improvised adding snowflakes and changing the snow. I also made it a circle rather than a square. I found another use for my kitchen plates.
 
 
 
 
I also made hexie coasters for her. ( A few other bloggy friends also received some).
 
 
 
 
I really enjoyed being part of the Friends Having Fun Swap in 2015 but this year I am being really strong and not joining any swaps so I can finish the many projects that are strewn around my sewing room, in drawers and cupboards. Having said that, I have just started 2 new projects! There is no helping some people.
 
 
HAPPY NEW YEAR.
 
Angel Blessings.
