Christmas Crochet

Another Christmas post as I am finding so many cute & wonderful Christmas craft items can you think of anything more darling to give to someone as a Terry's chocolate orange wrapped in a crochet snowman ? The cute is off the scale with this one.

So more crochet items made by the same wonderful HeloiseVCrochet  are these tiny vaseline tin holders i never thought I needed one until I saw them now I want one in every clolour super cute and you can bet when you get it out to use people will ask where you got it from and comment on how adorable it is, and again a great stocking filler !!!

Hand made Christmas

So I have been crafting away like mad so I'm up to date with the very few weeks we have till Christmas, so far I have made some Bunting (and had some requests because people love it)  and some cute little Christmas trees, and now I have been asked to make an Angel so I'm going to have a mooch on the web and see if  I can make one, I don't know why I doubt myself, serves me right for saying I will defiantly make something without knowing if I can, without it looking like a 3 year old made it.

So here is the bunting took me aprox 4-5 hours to make 51 inches long (130cm)  I used Divine Twine from pur-ple which is currently my favorite ebay store (she sells really lovely buttons too go check her out) this was my first time at making bunting and I was really pleased with the result and im am going to make lots more with different fabrics and styles (:

I was going to make bunting out of these Christmas Trees but i prefer them as hanging decorations and with the beads and sequins i think the tree lights will refect off them beautifully and they will sparkle like jewels, Oh also the bunting is a substitute for tinsel I am not a fan of tinsel so i think it will look better (:  I have cross Stitched some gifts too so those wont be uploaded till after xmas, (trees are also a gift for someone and decorations for me :P)

So now i am ultra prepared all my material is cut and ready for me to stitch Merry Christmas Everyone, happy Crafting (:

Cross Stitch gifts!

I got this in my favorite cross stitch mag last August as a free gift! and I have only picked it up to do it in the last month and this is the finished result!!! I really enjoyed stitching this despite all of the half stitches, beautiful colours and a pleasure to stitch this will be one of many handmade Christmas gifts for my family this year (:

This was also in the same issue of my Cross Stitcher mag as you had two free gifts to choose from I chose the home sweet home one but went out last week to get the threads to stitch this lovely tattoo style swallow and he only took 2 days to stitch, this is also a Christmas gift all i need to do is buy the frames (:
