More Christmas in July

Hello, hope that you are all having a nice weekend, I am enjoying a weekend at home, catching up on a few household things and crafting of course 😉

Last year was the first time we had a little craft session to start ornaments early, a Christmas in July,  and we had another one yesterday at Sharon’s house with tapas and delicious ice cream from the local ice cream parlour and café.

Apologies for some reason even the pictures are the right way round in my photo editing package they won’t display properly in here so are sideways on!

Emily and I made cones and I borrowed her idea of finishing mine with a ribbon and bead decoration I had in my stash.

Helen was busy making a hexagon snowflake using fabric from Simply Solids’  new Christmas fabric stock, this is going to be one of their sample items for the shop.

She especially wanted me to take a picture of her cute cat earrings, the body bit moves as if the cat is dancing!

I also finished another of the gorgeous quilted baubles, as I thought these have been very addictive, am having to ration myself and make sure I get on with other stuff as well.

I am busy finishing the linen pincushions for Sarah’s stall at Yarndale  at the moment so hope to be able to post pictures of some completed ones later on in the week.

Enjoy whatever you are doing, take care and thanks for visiting.
