Flower embroidery

This embroidery is for my sister and her husbands silver wedding anniversay. It is mostly machine embroidered. The background is coloured with transfer paints and there have been a few beads and ribbon added at the end.

Other Christmas makes

I made these gift boxes to hold biscuits or chocolates. I enjoyed making these paper baubles. They are just 12 strips of paper about 10cm long witha split pin at either end going through all of the strips and then they paper is just spread out to form a ball shape.

Pegdoll Tag

I have made loads of these pegdoll tags. The face and hair are drawn on with permanent marker. The dress is just paper or fabric wrapped around, decorated with sequins etc and the wings are those skeleton leaves or you could cut out cardboard ones. As well as tags I have stuck them on gifts bags or just used them instead of a bow.

Christmas all sewn up!

Do you like my little penquin with a Christmas tree. I did have him standing in a glass jar but now he's in a plant pot. I love these fabric hearts, they're so easy to make. I have a couple of them hanging in my kitchen now and they will probably stay around after Christmas too.

Christmas Decorations

And here are some paper Christmas decorations. They are just shapes cut out and decorated but I thik they look quite effective.

Table Decoration

How about this for a table decoration.

Paper Sleigh

I made a little paper sleigh for holding some chocolate coins.

More Christmas cards

Chrsitmas Mini Canvas

I thought for special family members I'd make them a mini canvas instead of a card.
