In November I signed up for
Crafty Creatives boxes. The boxes arrive monthly and contain surprise themed crafting materials as well as a kit for making a complete article. My first box was vintage/Christmas inspired. I made these from it adding materials I already had.
We received a bundle of cinnamon sticks. I used some satin and gauze ribbon to tie them up for the tree.
We also got two plastic hoops. I wrapped one in white ribbon and glued gems around it to create sparkle.
This one is wrapped in red ribbon and has silver metal snowflakes from a broken earring suspended in the middle.
The wings on this angel card for a friend were made from icy sequins contained in my my second box themed on frost and snow.
Finally my craft work for Christmas included these items I made as gifts and for my online shop
Teeny Tiny Textile Art
These hearts were personalised by embroidering initials and adding bells (from November Crafty Creatives box) for those for my grandchildren.
I had already regained my creative mojo but I'm looking forward to my future
Crafty Creatives boxes.
I did not accomplish half of what you did, but I did manage to make a few Christmas trees out of wool and one pair of mittens! Oh, I guess I made an ornament as well. It's ALWAYS good to give from the heart and hand. Peace be yours in 2013, my dear friend!! Theresa
ReplyDeleteSee, you made more than you thought! I also made the rag dolls for my granddaughters and a rag dog for my grandson. I did have much more time this year as was off work.
