Festive craft

It's been a while since my last post and it has been an eventful month. With the deadline of our family 'Christmas' in the UK on 11 December I have never done so much sewing and completed so many craft projects! I went to a great upcycling workshop and learnt to make all number of craft items for Christmas.

My family exchanged tree presents so most of them got handmade coasters, I also sewed onto t-shirts for my niece and nephew (Mickey Mouse's silhouette for William and two birds for Emma). I also made a table mat, some bunting, a monster softie, tree ornament and I finally finished the tree softie I started several years ago.






I had an eventful 2 and bit weeks in the UK travelling to Southampton, Blackpool, London, Brighton and Cambridge in a short space of time. After many mulled wines and ciders, Mum's lovely Christmas dinner, christmas lights, trees, music and carol singing I left feeling very festive.

Once I got back to Sydney I put my Christmas tree up. Sadly I can't find the large star to put on top but I think I did a good job improvising!
