Two Angels - angels & petals AND crafty angel

Forest of Bling

It was trees, trees and more trees today, as we put together strings of Christmas Tree Forest Bunting.

Well, these trees definitely nurtured their decorations along with their pine needles. I've never seen so much bling in one afternoon!

Operation bling under way.

One set nearly ready for stringing.

The idea was to use 8 different shades of green for the trees.

but some ladies felt they needed a traditional splash of red!

I think it worked well though.

And as we don't have another workshop before Christmas, I may not have cause to blog again, so as this little tree so beautifully says, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and thank you for reading. x

Angel delight

Oh, we did have a lovely day on Saturday, making our rustic angels. As the afternoon wore on we laughed more and more as some of our angels began to look a little worse for wear. We gave them names and I couldn't possibly tell you what we thought they might have been up to! But it was a great way to spend a cold pre Christmas Saturday. Here's what we made..............

Sun tanned angels. Or did they work for Boots??

Serene angels.

More angels worthy of a place in heaven.

Night on the town angels!

Christmas party angels.

 

And then today, we had a play with stamps and inks and came up with some tags and cards ready for the wrapping marathon which will be coming soon.

Glossy Accents and glitter were the order of the day.

A hint of embossed snow made all the difference here.

Sue now has a complete set of 12 of these pretty village scene cards. Not bad for a Sunday morning's work.

Wreaths round 2

This year's Fabric Christmas Wreaths workshop proved to be just as popular as last, and the results just as stunning. Spanning two days, we managed to make a whole gallery of Christmassy, frosty loveliness to adorn many a home this festive season.

Lets take a look.............

 Purple & gold with a hint of turquoise, was a wow! combination.

Below, traditional red, green and white can look so different depending on the pattern of the fabric and the density to which its packed.

This one used vintage curtain fabric from her daughters bedroom, very densly packed. Infact the lady could still be working on it now! What an heirloom when it's finished though.

More traditional colours used to great effect, each with it's own special 'something', whether that's a hint of frost, snow, or simply 'freshness'.

Claire's was a gorgeous combination, which could be left up all year.

This selection has a real wintery feel. They were all truly beautiful.
