Christmas Robins

Day 2 of my advent blog, countdown to Christmas.

 

We all love robins don't we?

This is a little needle-felted picture that I made.

 

 

Last year I printed some of my photos of this picture onto linen and created a little Victorian style Christmas card.

If you want to see some more of my needle felted pictures follow the link to the blog shop.

See you tomorrow.

Countdown to Christmas

Gina of Fan my flame is hoping to do a blog post every day leading up to Christmas and asked if anyone wanted to join her.

I thought I would give it a try.

So I am posting a little Christmas picture/item every day until Christmas Eve - or whenever I run out of steam!!

Today I am posting a little Christmas mouse.

I have been making these for the last 40 years.

Annie made some for the craft fair and I think there are a few left if anyone wants one. £2.75 plus postage. They are about 3 inches tall. They have a little stuffed head and the rest is a ribbon/fabric skirt  with lace and felt trimmings. Cute isn't she.

We noticed several folks scrutinising them at the craft fair - I nearly offered to give them the pattern!!! 

Well that's it.

Short and sweet or I will never manage a post a day!

See you tomorrow.

Finished by Friday 6

Well another Friday has come round, following a busy week.
I might be a bit late posting this one as I am trying to finish off a few projects and I have to fit a social life in!!
I am going to the Frost Fair at Attingham Park today so it will be interesting to see how well the crafts there are selling.
Thursday was mammogram day - I always have a chuckle when the letter arrives telling me I need to attend for my mammogram in Tesco's car park!!!

I digress - you came to see my crafty activities....

Two little angels for the swap that Jo of Jozarty organised...







Grace and Joy

This is the latest little pinafore dress that I made for Lexi.
I love the little flower buttons on the shoulder.
The fabric is a fine babycord so it should be nice and cosy.

Lots of kind folk decided to "like" our blog shop link on Facebook.

WOYWW - do you like us?

Well look at that!!! A tidy desk at long last.

Yes, all the clutter has been tidied away now that our craft fair is done and dusted!!

If you have read our earlier posts you will know we had a fun day but sold little. The shocking weather and possibly the fact that there were other craft fairs in nearby villages, meant that the footfall was poor and I think some only came to avail themselves of the wonderful refreshments!!

Anyway - we are always so optimistic - we decided to revamp the shop and then add a Facebook link to our shopping opportunity.

So-(and this is where I find Facebook hilarious) - if you like us - how about following the link

Facebook - Sisters Crafty Creations and "like" us!!!

Bonkers I know, cos we know you lovely folk like us or why else would you spend your Wednesdays popping in each week - lol.

OK so that's where we are up - my little sister and me.

My table has a few of my latest projects:

• little Christmas wreath collage beginnings that may eventually become Christmas cards
• a dumfed background which I hope to finish as a gift
• a little chunky hoodie that I am making for little Steve who is rapidly outgrowing the last one that I made him
• my Mollie Makes magazine - I haven't bought one for a while as I thought there were too many "empty" pages but this one had a few nice items - including a needle felted chicken by our blog buddy Gretel Parker of "Middle of Nowhere" blog.

AND below is little angel, Serena, who flew over to me from LL Jan this week. She is really lovely and so beautifully sewn by the talented Jan. I shall treasure her.

Jan called her Serena because she has a serene demeanour - like me then!!! lol

 If you want to read more about our craft fair and see photos, then scroll down and also do the same on Annie's blog - A stitch in time.

Now join in our Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday blog hop by popping over to Julia's Stamping Ground and following the links.

Have a great week - keep dry and cosy!
