Day 10 is here!!
Holy-Moly, can you believe it’s only 3 more days until Christmas?! Oh my!
Surprising, I’m pretty much ready for the big day. I have a few cooking chores to do over the next few days but apart from that, I say ‘bring on the big day!’
If you’re still stuck on what to get that special someone aaannnddd you’ve got a knack for sewing up some quick seams, stay tuned for tomorrow’s Christmas Craft…it involves a bottle wine!
Happy Sewing Friends! xx
Happy Day 8 of 12 Days of Christmas Crafts!!
I simply can not believe there are only 5 DAYS until Christmas! (Yeesh, this year has just flown by!)
Today’s craft has been specially made and modelled by my darling dog Lucy!
Lucy’s simple patience while I filmed her shocked me a wee bit, as she’s usually quite camera shy and tends to either look down or walk away! (Boo!)
See here as an example…
But this day she just sat there and let me do my thing! (Thanks Lucy-Juicey!)
*****
Day 9 is all about recycling/upcycling/reclaiming fallen sticks and twigs and making them into something very creative!
Get you’re Hot Glue Guns ready!!
Happy Festive Crafting/Sewing Friends!! xx
Deck the halls with boughs of plastic tinsel! Fa-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la!
Day 7 is upon us! And I only realised this morning that we’re already half way through this little series! (Time flies when you’re having fun!)
Donning my honesty hat, I must admit the only thing I didn’t like about this tinsel wreath is that it was messy to make!
I had bits of tinsel everywhere allover my sewing room and little specks of red glitter from the ribbon in some of the most awkward of body places!
But apart from that, it was a hoot to make and it now hangs in place at my front door!
Tomorrow, my beautiful dog Lucy takes centre stage, modelling a sweet canine/feline project for Day 8 of Christmas Crafts!
Until then…
Happy Festive Sewing Friends!! xx
‘O, Christmas Tree! O, Christmas Tree! How lovely are your branches…’
Looking for an easy little project to do with the kids over Christmas? Well look no further!
This has to be one of the most sweetest, quickest and easiest festive crafts to get stuck into!
If you don’t like the whole photo frame idea, leave the photo step out and hang it up as is!
It’ll still look really Christmassy on the tree!
Day 6 is coming your way tomorrow – another super-dooper quick and easy project! Whoo!
Happy Festive Sewing Friends! xx
This coming Friday, the 13th of December, I’ll be launching my little 12Days of Christmas Crafts series on my YouTube channel! Yay!
I’ll be uploading some fun and simple craft projects everyday of the 12 days leading up to Christmas.
In this little series, I chose a range of different crafts that contain the use of paper, fabrics, lots of hot glue and glitter, paint, natural resources and simple sewing machine work.
The level of these crafts range from simplistic kids crafts (with adult supervision of course!) up to some that are for the more experienced crafter/sewer.
In each video I’ve included easy step-by-step instructions along with where I found my inspiration! (Here’s lookin’ at you Pinterest!).
All of the videos are short’n’sweet and are visually informative.
So I hope you enjoy watching from Friday onwards (I’ll post each one on my blog as we go along) and create a menagerie of Christmas crafts this season!
Happy Festive Sewing Friends!! xx
Over the past week, I’ve been squirrelling away in my sewing room whilst humming to a few select christmas carols.
You may be asking, ‘Christmas carols already??’…
Why yes, it does seem that way – Christmas has definitely come to this quilter’s house very early this year! I usually start my christmas crafting in late November/early December, so it’s all feeling a little bit weird!
But there is a legit reason for this…
It’s all in preparation for a Christmas Craft Night I’ll be hosting presenting running co-ordinating having fun at (!) this coming Thursday night at my local Spotlight store!
We’ve got lots of sweet crafty|sewy|quilty christmasy projects planned perfect for the kiddies to join in on as well as for those who are big kids at heart! (Me!!!)
Here’s a glimpse of my sewing room from this week – nothing has changed today, it’s still covered in bits of felt, ribbon, sequins, buttons, PVA glue and christmas fabrics…
Meh, whatcha gonna do – this is what the space is used for I suppose!
Annnddd, here’s a small sneaky of some of the things we’ll be making!!
Ohhh….I wonder what they could be!?
Happy Sewing Friends! xx
