Things for Christmas!

It feels like a natural state of being to make things at Christmas - I've been doing it for as long as I can remember!  

Advent Calendar Stockings

We used to have a set of felt and glue stockings around our fireplace at home.  There was a sweet each in every stocking, alongside a chore ('clean the rabbit out, tidy your bedroom!).  No chore, no sweet. In my new grown-up version, there are only sweets.  When James is bigger, the chores will return!  These are knitted stockings in a variety of designs, from stripes, images, letters to full on fair-isle!

Baubles

I now use these as door hangers too - although the dove ones are away again until next year!  These are various fabrics stuffed with padding to create a 3D effect.  Lace and button details then added.
