December is difficult for showing makes as they are all for other people. As I have started to hand out bits and bobs I can show these little makes. I have made a few handmade Christmas Decorations to send out to a few friends and this is what I have been busy with handmade from our lovely Annie's felt;
I bought this pattern from Rosie Little Things after being introduced to her stuff by our Lynda.
my attempt
More felty makes stuffed with lavender
Some cross stitch Christmas Cards
I made these next ones all for me! Dried orange slices spiced with nutmeg cinnamon and studded with cloves.
I dried these out over a couple of weeks on the radiator as I'm too tight to put the oven on for hours on a low heat!
I've popped some over my fireplace and when the fire is lit a lovely smell fills the room.
Oooh almost forgot today's advent gift from Lynda a lovely East of India Picture which I just adore, I have a thing for Angels!
Thanks again my lovely!
Right, that's me for today don't forget tomorrow I'm drawing a winner for my little giveaway, there is still time to get your name in the hat.

You did make me laugh, too tight to put the oven on, bet your house smelt lovely with the orange slices on the radiators.

Ooooooooo I love the coat ornament! I'm off to check out that pattern!
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the red felt coat I was amazed!
ReplyDeleteLovely cross stitch and the orange slices with cinnamon and cloves look fab.
I dried orange slices in the oven for hours then got annoyed and threw them all out as some had bent a bit.... wish I hadn`t now!
