Crafting happily

[wiseheart]

Today I finally got around to finish a long-planned stitched card with the baby Jesus under a church window. It wasn't a particularly different pattern, save for the fact that I stupidly decided to do it with metallic thread on black paper. My poor eyes didn't thank me for the idea. But I think the card turned out quite nicely. What do you think?



Also, my second attempt to make fondant-based Christmas candy was successful. Here can you see the candies still drying on a grid:



Here are they gift-wrapped, in a decorative cardboard vessel:



And here are the same candies in simpler wrapping - that is how we are going to sell them on the charity fair before Christmas (because I don't have enough of the festive wrappings, basically):

What a beautiful card!

Thank you. It does have small faults, the frigging metallic thread tends to tear at the most inconvenient times, but all in all I am well pleased. The colours are more even in real life, I'm just a lousy photographer.
