Baubles!!!

[wiseheart]

As promised, a group photo of the felt Christmas baubles I've made in the last few days. I think they are quite pretty, but I'm biased, of course. ;))



In the meantime I've gone on to the mini sewing kits. Those include a great many different phases; right now, I've brought all 12 of them (yes, they've spawned 3 more while I wasn't looking!) to Phase 1: all parts cut out and the inner pockets are stitched on. I've even sewn on the needle-holder stripes and made the lashes they'll close with for 3 of them, which would be Phase 2; I'll continue with that on the other 9.

Tomorrow will be burdened with grocery shopping, meaning that the morning hours will be lost crafting-wise. But I've cooked for two days (Mary Berry's chicken pasta bake, in case anyone is interested), so I might be able to do a bit of sewing around noon. *fingers crossed*

Not much else was done today, but I was fairly busy with the above-mentioned things up to 4pm. I even skipped some of the tv programme to finish Phase 1 entirely. I've already done a lot for the fair, but even more is still to do - it will be a busy, busy month.

The baubles are lovely :)

Thank you! :) I enjoyed making them very much.

These bubbles are lovely! But being so busy would be the death of me!

You are kidding, right? Being on grandparent duty and feeding the various branches of the family day in, day out (and often without forewarning) is a lot worse than a bit of crafting. Besides, creating beauty, even if on such a small scale, gives my existence meaning.

They're nice exp. the white and red ones.

Those wee baubles are so cute. I shall be cooking a chicken and vegetable korma (a jar of sauce) today which, with a side order of noodles or rice, should feed me for three or four days. Yay!

Cooking in advance is a good thing. It gives you lovely free time on the next day(s), which you can spend with more pleasant activities.

Oh, they are lovely! I especially like the two on each end on the first row. They look very clean and wintery, to me at least.

They were made of a sheet of beautifully patterned felt, bought in a small craft shop that has, sadly, gone out of business since then. :(
