Christmas Pins Assembled.

This is what I have been doing today. Cutting up the felt and assembling the kits. 50 done for the Christmas Party. Now to put them away in a safe place for December.

Felt Sewing

This is what I have been doing yesterday in preparation for the Crafternoon today. A little felt sewing machine brooch. First I stitched the sewing machine and embellishments to one piece of felt and then on the other piece of felt the backing I stitched on the pin. Then I stitched the two square felt pieces together. This is what I have decided to do for the ACDA Christmas Party Gifts, making up little kits of 3 squares of felt, 2 buttons and a pin back along with the templates.

I won this!

 How cute is this! I won it from http://thehouseonthesideofthehill.blogspot.com.au/ She has just the loveliest things on her blog and is such a good friend too,
I have been busy making gifts for my swap partner so no blogging for a few days, Having fun doing it though! I am very excited for the outing tomorrow to the Crafty Hijinks in Ballarat.  I made a mistake, It is not until September!

Crafternooners

For a couple of weeks my Crafternooners have been working with felt. I have been asking them to save all the little bits of felt that they think could not be used and they will be making little pictures that will be tags, cards and brooches. They will embroider them and add sequins and beads. This is just an idea of what they could be coming up with.

Aussie Hero Laundry Bags

 Last night I made these bags. The Harry Potter one is a special request.

This one also a special request, Sponge Bob Square Pants! This has gone to Jan-Maree along with the rest of the fabric, (it was a queen sized doona cover) to be made into a quilt. I would imagine that the pictures would be fussy cut an added to a quilt.

Tuesday's Treasures

 My friend Melody is playing a game called Tuesday's Treasures. This is mine. A hat box. This was what a gift was given to me in and I use it every day, currently I am making cord for Aussie Heroes laundry bags. It stops the ball of fabric yarn from going all over the place. I also use it for when I am knitting too. Very useful.

Making them into sets of 4 which is how I parcel my bags when I have made them. This way I can see right away how many I have ready to use.
You should play too!
