WOYWW.....

 As we inch ever closer to Christmas day I've been keeping busy.  I've been feeling like Santa's little helper with all I have been making [some of which I can't share with you....yet].  For now I can share these...

I made the boys some marble mazes...they have one of these and love it so I've made them a few more each.

I made 10 little magnetic fish and a fishing rod for them to play with.

I made them a large noughts and crosses game to play together with.

I then made 12 bean bags and a floor target.

I'm determined to make lots of memories for them that avoid the need for gadgets.

I then made 7 fabric bags to keep all their games in...to encourage them to tidy away before getting the next game out [well I can stay hopeful can't I?].

I think I've used nearly all my fat quarters now so I can see a shopping trip coming up soon :-)

I hope you have enjoyed your visit today.  My plan is to shut up shop this Friday to enjoy a couple of weeks chill [who am I kidding?].....baking and Christmas prep to be done yet.

Hugs,

WOYWW...and a catch up of my Christmas makes

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and are now ready to see in a New Year.  2016 has been a difficult year of losing many good friends and close family members so I'm really looking forward to closing the door on 2016 and starting fresh in 2017....hold close those you love and tell them you love them often.

So? You are here to see what's on my desk are you?  Well, I only have clutter on my desk today and no sewing has gone on since last week so I have decided to do a round up on all the sewing/making I did leading up to Christmas that I can now share with you......be warned it is picture heavy so I will understand if you don't reach the end and will now wish you all a very Happy New Year before I start.

 

A fabric book and it's pages that I made for little Theo.

Two dolly 'baby carriers' I made for the twins.

A little rabbit in dungarees I knit for little Theo.

Two different table centres I made as gifts....the one is adapted from a pattern Jozarty shared with us.

The Sylvanians are modelling some of the clothes I made for both Shell and Amy's families.....I filled a little three drawered chest with clothes for each family....dresses, trousers, shirts, knitted gilets and knitted hats.

Plus made 5 teepees for the Sylvanians to go camping in....and I made two sleeping bags for each tent.  :-)

And last but my no means least these are the three Christmas cards I made for out family.....made in felt, stitched and beaded.

So there you are.....as you can see I kept busy here and I know each is loved and will be played with/treasured for many years so that makes all the hard work so worth it.  I hope you enjoyed my catch up.

Here's to a very Happy New Year ahead of us with lots more linking up, fun and friendship in 2017.

Hugs,
