Home-made Christmas Part 1

I've been a busy little mummy lately making decorations for Christmas, I have decided that this year we will be having a home-made Christmas.

So last week I made a start with some fab (if I do say so myself) stars and a snowman.

 

Friday night I threaded them together with crochet cotton.  The snowman ground to a halt for a few days as I couldn't find any suitable buttons in my stash.

Off to Sew Simple, Me and Grandma D went, and £40 later I came away with 6 button and a whole lot more I didn't plan to buy.


I made a tree skirt which compared to Grandma D's is amateur to say the least.

This is mine and                            

  this is Grandma D's

I also cut lots and lots of bunting triangles which will mean a long week with my sewing machine.



We will see how they come together later in another post.  I am back off to Sew Simple on the 20th, they are having a double points event and I get paid the day before (whoop! whoop!).

Watch this space for pics of what I bought, I can't wait to buy it !
