Much to do about Christmas...

I have been busy with a variety of things....big and small. Some things were for a Xmas Bazaar...

Maxine key rings ...a great character.

kitty key rings made with fabric given to me by a friend who knows I'm a cat lover..love camels too but have never seen camel fabric come to think about it...

a couple of the many kitty keyrings with a halloween flavour...

A whole batch of pyramid purses for coins, pills ...whatever !!

Took Nonie and I a while to figure out the templates for these wool felt,xmas, hat styled purses...our other results were a bit of a laugh...

and some from ribbon purchased in 2008 in Australia and also using upholstery samples..

...Some, because I have been into recycling/upcycling anything I get my hands on or have had stored away to use in some way at a later date...you know...years!!

Samples of some of my upcycled projects...more of these in various stages...

more samples of upcycled... in various sizes for various uses...of course forgot to take photos of the others...

...Some for presents, new and old.

A tummy heat pack...just in time for these freezing temperatures we have been experiencing.

... a welcome gift for baby Malvinas' room...born 7/12/13

A one off crazy brooch with a vintage black and white button.

close up to prove to myself, that, I can stitch straight when I try !!

A room organiser for swimming gear for a special person. Made it 2 years ago and am pleased it's used and treasured..took the photo recently when I visited and saw it hanging ...

Inside view of pillow...totally lined front and back!!..yes , a tad anal...

...And, some, just to be silly...

Have also had an  important charity project to finish ( my next blog post)....and other projects need finishing before I can get onto what I prefer
...starting a NEW quilt .

I call these Angel Stockings.. /!@^&??

Just too much to do...and Christmas has come way too soon.

Christmas 2013...

Merry Christmas and happy times to all.                                      Maro
