What's the best gift you received this year?
This photo turned out completely out out focus, but I'll pretend that's intentional and artistic. The necklace was a gift from my mum, the bag is from my aunt and the coat I bought yesterday in the sales with the money I got for Christmas from my grandparents.
Here's a close up of the necklace.
Have a wonderful Christmas, everybody!
(And yes, I have been listening to Carol of the Bells.)
Show us your favorite things about this time of year.
Skating outdoors,
good Christmas music,
making mince pies and decorating gingerbread houses,
and pretty wintery plants are a few of them.
I complete forgot some people have black backgrounds for their blogs, so here are two new black banners. Plus one doggie one just because. As usual feel free to use.
The really pretty Christmas ornaments are so expensieve so I decided to make some myself. These are ridiculously easy to make providing you can cut felt and sew a few buttons. These reindeers came on top of some posh Christmas crackers last year and I've just stuck fushia felt shapes on them.
I made these ones with ribbon, buttons and metal brads.
For this one I cut fushia felt into a asterix shape then sew on six little buttons, six medium ones and one big one.
Also also made this little broach/pin with some fushia felt and one of the buttons from Liberty.
For fun I made some seasonal banners. I've tested them all out and so long as your blog title isn't huge they should work fine. You are more than welcome to use them. :)
The lovely people are Moo are having Super-Duper Holiday Card competition and the three Christmas card designs I post a week ago are part of it. The Christmas card shop (AKA the People-Powered Holiday Card Store) is here. Three reasons why you should check it out:
- $1 from every card sold goes to Médecins Sans Frontières.
- Moo make lovely quality things and I'm sure their greetings cards are no different. Plus if you buy some today you get £3 off.
- There are 4 prizes of $2000 to be won, including one for the best selling card and one for the best non-photographic card, and really, don't you just want to see me win one?
A word of warning, at the shop you'll have to click the arrow to scroll through lots of pictures because there isn't a search system at the moment.
ETA: My cards are very hard to find so here are some pictures.
Here are my Christmas card designs for this year. It probably seems a bit early for them, but really it isn't.
These are some of the things I have been making for friends as Christmas presents. They are little wooden photograph/note holding polar bears; I painted them up and made their tiny little hats and scarves. Oh, and I made their ears too.
