The "C" Word



As it's September I thought I would plan ahead for Ch*!$&%as. I know it's not a word to be mentioned until about 10th December in our house, but every year I get into a pickle about gifts I want to make, so I've made a plan. Of course I can't tell you what my plan is because then everyone will know what the man in the red suit will be popping down their chimney.


But I can share my plan for a wall decoration: Based on "The 12 Days of Ch*!$&%as" I've embroidered 12 panels in green and red, and one day gold (er - that would be the 5th day then...). My intention is to piece them together into a mini quilt and have a go at freehand embroidery. I've attached a picture of my plan, and one of the pieces in progress.

Can You Guess What It Is Yet?

In true 1970's Rolf Harris stylee, here's something for you to have a guess at.... It is an embroidery done on my Janome 200 last weekend, but can you tell what the finished picture is going to be?







It's a filigree fairie. I'm not really into fairies but thought this was pretty, rather than "cute". It's embroidered onto 100% wool felt and I will make it into a handbag - when I've got my customers dress finished in a couple of weeks.
