Witzend No, I'm not a fan of making fiddly bits either but her blog can be an inspiration for using up scraps and making bazaar items. On her current front page, if you scroll down you come to some Yuletide inspiration. I love the orange slices. A cute lapel pin maybe or a few more rounds, some festive coasters - although the raised post stitches might make it a bit lumpy and the mulled wine would topple over.
Lovely. I do like the way you always get your projects finished and sewn up!
Well, it’s a good excuse for ignoring the dratted housework - ‘must just get this finished…’ (And on to the next thing…) I might just whisk a duster around tomorrow, though.
Could be pared down and elements borrowed for a less busy version. I love the cute bower bird.
Goodness, what a lovely riot of colour! I dread to think how long all this bits would take to make, though - I thought 9 fiddling little holly berries were quite enough!
Sundry bits of it have been lying around for ages. I say ‘mongrel’ because wreath, robins and holly were all from different patterns. The actual wreath was the least fiddly bit!
It will probably go to Gdcs’ school fair raffle in late November, if they would like it.
