Christmas Cushion

On 1st December, I love to transform my home to give a really cosy Christmasy feel. I love to replace lamps with Christmas lamps and fairy lights, swap vases of flowers for wintery displays and this year I managed to make some Christmas cushions... well a Christmas cushion... But I do intend to make a star cushion to match, and some other festive cushions so I can replace my cushions at Christmas too

Personalised Cushions

I love to personalise my home with things unique to me and my family; my childrens drawings, photos etc and I love the idea of personal cushions... so I decided to sew my family on a cushion... Its a simple drawing in the matchstick style I always doodle in but really does bear a close resemblance to us!

Along with the grotto for my sons school fete I made our elves costumes, we even appeared in the local paper!

Felt decorations

cute hearts made from strips of felt sewn together I'll probably strinG together to make a garland

Bauble Make-over

BAUBLE MAKE-OVER

Using squares of red tissue paper and pva glue, I covered the bauble and hung to dry

i love the texture of the paper covered bauble

I finished off with some white snowflake detail painted on with acrylic paint

Horatio Nelson Costume

Lord Horatio Nelson

I'm very pleased how this costume turned out! It had been my work Christmas party the night before and as we drove home the next day with a woolly head, i suddenly remembered it was 'dress as a famous person' day at my sons school! I managed to whip this up in just a couple of hours and was pleasantly suprised with the result!
