Small Wool Christmas Trees

Tweet

 Hi everyone

 Well, let me tell you that the Christmas fairs on the Isle of Man this year are being very well attended and people really are buying local, which is great for me. So, if you are attending any local fairs, then thank you.

 Over the last week I have been having fun making baby Christmas trees from styrofoam cones and wool.  I then decorate them as the whim takes me and they are great fun for putting in the window, or on your desk at work.

 I would very much like to hear what you think of my makes and what you are making.

Christmas Baubles Small

Good morning everyone

 I attended two Christmas fairs last weekend and, if you attended either, thank you and I hope you found something to take home. 

 I enjoyed making the large half baubles last week so much that I made a larger selection of smaller half baubles this week.  Again, they are made up of multiple layers - a very different look, I love them and hope that you will too.

 Please let me know what you think and what you are making in the lead up to Christmas.

Christmas Half Baubles Large

Tweet

 Good morning everyone

 I had my first Christmas fair of the year last Saturday and it was so much fun. 

 I finished my large half baubles in time for this outing, they were lots of fun to make and were received very well.  They are made up of multiple layers and I included some plastic gems so that they would have some movement and sound when they are on the tree.

 I hope that you like them as much as I do, so I am now making some smaller ones in a different style.

 Please let me know what you think and what you are making in the lead up to Christmas.

Ipod & Spanner Art

Tweet

 

Hi morning

 My partner in craft, Fuzzy Designs has been creating and these are a couple of his latest creations & his ramblings.

 You don’t have to spend much time listening to people who restore old vehicles before the subject of roadside repairs comes up. Apparently, almost any problem could be solved in a matter of minutes with whatever was lying around – the truth, needless to say, was often a lot less straightforward.

 However, I thought it might be fun to take these tales at face value and repurpose a set of old spanners that were cluttering up the “one day” pile. So, The Complete British Motorcycle Toolkit was born! If it can’t be fixed with these three spanners then it’s probably beyond help!

 Another item in the “one day” pile was a dead iPod. This was something of an annoyance to me as it had been deliberately designed by Apple to be extremely difficult to repair (earlier versions were relatively simple to open up) but, even when broken, I thought it was still a nice looking thing – but what to do with it? Some lateral thinking made me wonder about how an iPod “dies” and, if it was shot, would it bleed music? Of course it would! So, some “bullet” holes were strategically drilled, some musical “blood” added and another project is finished!   

 Enjoy the run up to Christmas.
