Well a month out for Christmas in July but got there in the end. Have been making so many other things, catching up on gift making that Christmas was put on the back burner, apart from gifts to give. These have all now been done, along with the cards.
Birthday of a boat lover
My Brother in Law had his Birthday on yesterday and had made this card a few months back. An applique boat stitched onto card, mounted onto a main 8" square card. Lace embellishment and a button and eyelet detail.

Christmas in August
Had a wonderful embroidery design through from EMB Library along with a suggestion of a sack. Sourced some vintage style fabric, added the design to the centre, fleece trim for the top and a double drawstring though the top. The sack is stitched across the corners to make a deep gusset. Lined with calico as firm without being to starchy. Have only made 2 of these as the design takes 192 minutes to complete.
Merry Christmas cones, made in a fun pink and blue candy cane fabric. Bought this last year and only got around to using. Think the main problem was saw too late for use last year but does not eat or drink, so worth getting to stash away. These cones can hold a small gift or filled with sweets and hung from the tree.
Working on some more poinsettias this time in pink and white. Waiting for the centres so should be finished next week. Made a start on some Scandinavian style glitter felt ornaments to hang from the Christmas tree. Love the Scandi style, as with the Poinsettias should be finished next week. Just need some snow, Christmas Music, Mulled Wine and will be well away.

Have a great week and hope after 3 weeks we will have the kitchen finished tomorrow. The worktop was the problem and only had fitted on Friday. Will be so pleased when all done.
Your wonderful designs are so amazing. I love all of the items you have created this week. The little cones are adorable, aren't they? Have a wonderful week. Pat xx
ReplyDeleteGosh you are organised for Christmas, i'm only just starting to think about it! Love the idea of the cones, they would look so cute on a tree :) x
ReplyDeleteWow I do admire you dedication to getting your Christmas products ready and waiting. I really like the little cones as they could hang anywhere round the house, not just the tree.
ReplyDeleteThese are all beautiful! I bet your Brother in Law was happy with his sailing card, what a lovely personal touch. I'm afraid it's too early for me to start thinking about Christmas just yet, but your sacks and cones look gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI do like the little boat card. Your embroidery maching has been really busy!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely things you have made this week. Love the personal card.
ReplyDeleteLove the ELF/SANTA slogan!
ReplyDeleteAnd those Cones!

It's amazing to think Xmas is just around the corner! The santa sack is lovely and those cones are so sweet!
ReplyDeleteYou are so organised, love the cones:)
ReplyDeleteHaha! Never to early for Christmas crafting! x
ReplyDeleteThose cones are so sweet and I love your fabric buying philosophy. The sack is lovely but at 192 minutes I can see why you've not made many.
ReplyDeleteI love the Santa's sack, really stylish.
