Bear with me people, I'm playing catch up!
Week 11's make isn't quite complete but I have been waiting to post about them for so long I gave up and will finish them off [attach to twine] in time to hang on the hall banisters for Santa to see.
Here are the crucial components of my Felt Christmas Tree Garland...
I chose to sew on multi-coloured beads inspired by the fairy lights of my youth and of course there shall be bells, always bells!
Week 12 brought a housewarming gift for a lovely lady who was very complimentary even though my stitches were very like a spiders trail having stepped in ink. She also was kind enough to send me this photo of it adorning her wall because, well...duh!!! I completely forgot to take one of it myself.

The fabric is a gorgeous dark pink from a Tilda range, Rose 6. I may have to make one for myself for my wee craft corner. Here is another photo Kirsty sent me and I wanted to share this gorgeous angel with you (hope you don't mind Fishy)...
Can I say a warm thank you to all of your lovely comments on my lemon cake, I'd gladly send a slice to you all. Tanya, you Temptress! Buttons for cake.......ah! Can you send cake in the post?
