New creation

Only another 15 days until Christmas. Are you ready? We have 2 more food deliveries to go then that will be it. What we do not have can do without. I am sure I will have forgotten something. We did the M & S trip to Havant on Tuesday, spent an arm and a leg but got £40 off, mainly due to a voucher from BT broadband for £25, the rest were offers and my Sparks codes. so worth getting a Sparks card. Went to our local garden centre on Wednesday and all decorations have been reduced already. Think things are not so good this year for sales and am sure we have all felt that at events and online.

Well did make something this week a lace heart pendant, stitched on my embroidery machine, added some chain and a Swarovski crystal. The keys are so tiny. The thread is random blues and aqua's.

Got a knock at the door at 7am. Post man with a parcel! Frightened me half to death, checked the security first and there he was with his Santa's hat on, cheerful at that time of the morning, wearing shorts and it was freezing!

Off to plan my next project.

Have a good week, same place next weekend

Paris label bag

Another week and ever nearer Christmas day, the tree is up, the house decorated. Most of the food bought just the fresh to be delivered on the 23rd. Writing the cards today ready to post off tomorrow. The house is all twinkly and festive gives me a warm cosy glow, no I have not been on the Bailey's yet, lol.

Makes this week,  another bag this time using ivory cotton canvas and raw silk.  The texture of raw silk and stitching the Paris labels was fun. Backed with the cream guipure lace, love this fabric so sumptuous.

Will be exciting when I launch in January a new direction for a New Year.

Have fun.

Music and Roses

Show and Tell Monday

Almost Christmas, 33 days to go, a time of magic and love, a time to let those near to you or far away know that you care. Decorations on the tree, festive houses, cards through the letter box Postie working overtime, scents of spices and fruits in the air from homemade mincemeat to be turned into pies sprinkled with sugar, delectable aromas fill the house, crackling of the log fires, roasted chestnuts, all go to make a Perfect Christmas.

Music, Roses with a hint of Champagne

My offering for Show and Tell Monday a quilted waistcoat in pink, brown and cream, with a sprinkling of lace butterflies and vintage lace trim

A picture of my stall at the Bramley fair on 6th November, not that happy with the display as feel it needs more height at the back, should have remembered to pack my shelves.
