Robin Baubles: A foresty combination of red / green / Browns.
A mixture of hand sewing and machine stiching. Felt discs with fun patterns....
March isn't as early as last year though! 2008 saw me starting Christmas in January - clearly i had bitten off more than i could chew. This year i have dramatically reduced the number of wholesale orders for Xmas decorations... i felt like a machine last year and some of the fun dropped out of sewing :( which is too sad a way to live.
So I am making more items for retail this year. More items for family and friends. More items with that essence of individuality...
So these have been photographed and added to the SnowFish shop - some i have put together in packs of 3 or 'pairs' and some are just singular... I love them. I love Christmas. I love it come Augsut when there are piles of plastic zippy wallets each filled with new felty designs...
Maybe that's why i haven't shared most of my crafty pursuits over these past few weeks? My work isn't exactly 'seasonal' to the time of year we are currently in?! Summer bunting gets made in January / February... Christmas begins in March...
Any 'other business' is slotted in between putting children to bed and the rest of 'life'! x(i wouldn't have it any other way...)

Those are absolutely lovely! Because of all the growing and preserving we do, I never get round to thinking about Christmas until October, I run out of time to make all my presents, and then have to buy the rest in a last-minute panic! Your way looks much better!

I think that I need to start knitting my christmas stuff! Yours looks lovely.
