Greetings dear friends & readers, This will be my last post for 2019 & I would like to take this opportunity to wish you ALL a most wonderful festive season. I would also like to thank each & every one of you that comes this way - to my little part of cyberspace, reads my ramblings & takes the time to leave me a comment - now & then - just to say Hello & to let me know you have visited 😊 I can't tell you how much it means to me & how much pleasure this little blog of mine brings to me 💛 Last night The Mr had an AGM to attend so I stood in my kitchen while the rain lashed the windows, & finished up some more Christmas Baking as well as packaging some ready for gifting This year I made my usual Gingernut Bites & Chocolate Fudge Cake, but also made some Mars Bar Slices & Chocolate Crackles - some of which I added cute little festive picks to for my grandsons. My lovely friend & longtime customer Desiree, has a beautiful baby daughter who is about to celebrate her first Christmas Desiree called to see me in early November with the 3 fat quarters above, asking me to please make a stocking for Gretchen's first Christmas in this colourway Her only request was Patchwork & perhaps some vintage lace somewhere in it. I have sewn alot for Desiree & know her taste fairly well so I felt confident adding in the other fabrics to the three she had given me. After I had patchworked the front, I machine appliqued on the letters for Gretchen's name I found this beautiful vintage cotton lace in my scraps so I added a border of it to the top, then this cute cotton bird tape, which I felt matched the sweet little birds in the fabrics. The silver charms were sewn on last as I felt they added a nice finishing touch. I also added one of the fabric tags I had made from my Grandson's Advent Calendar Panels (& a vintage button) Both front & back were patchworked & a sweet crochet doiley was stitched to both sides. The "handmade with love" woven ribbon was stitched on the back toe part I LoVe these colours together & thought it turned out beautiful 💗 A friend messaged me with a late Order after seeing the candles in my last post made using vintage glassware. I had 3 containers left so made them up into candles for her over the weekend. Also over the weekend, my lovely neighbor Jenny popped in with the sweet Angel kit above - a gift for some pet feeding duties I had done for her. I was determined to find time to make her up last Sunday - she turned out beautifully & I have hung her on my tree. It's such a treat to have a kitset & not have to go searching for anything - just enjoy sitting & putting it together. For anyone interested, the kitset was purchased from * Here * Yesterday while the weather was wild, these two fought & hissed & spat at each other & left big clumps of fur on the floor - mainly ginger !! So I was rather surprised to see them tucked up together on the bed last night - when I went to get in !! Friends again - for now 😉 Wishing you all a safe & joyous Christmas dear friends, I look forward to sharing more with you in the New Year, From our Home to Yours - with much love & friendship, Julie & the furry ones x0x0x0x
