WOYWW 176

It was such fun joining in with WOYWW again last week, don't know why I stayed away so long!
 
I rather liked the look of this all together - very Christmassy!
My desk is a little tidier this week. I'm off to a crafty evening with my friend Mrs Snippet (I have the lemon shortbread Mrs S!) later and as I'm working this afternoon I thought I'd get ready in advance (not like me at all!). I am going to be finishing the Christmas decorations I'm making for the craft fair, they started out as brooches but as they seemed rather large I decided they'd sell better as hanging decorations rather than as brooches for giants!
 
 I stamped on fabric (I love the effect), sewed the fabric to the felt and then embellished and sewed on the ribbon. Now I just need to back them with more felt - my job for this eve.
Here's a close-up of the only finished decoration so far. What do you think?! I'm still intending to make some brooches using the same technique but with smaller images.
 
I'm off to have a snoop around the WOYWW desks before leaving for work. Want to join me in having a snoop? Click the link - you won't regret it!
Thanks for visiting.

  5. I really like your Christmas signs. Something different for the tree (or your friendly giant). The snowflakes and buttons really set them off. Popping over to WOYWW to have a snoop :)

  18. You will have had your crafty evening by now, since I"m so late getting round (lemon shortbread sounds delicious!)... hope you had a ball! Love your hangings - stamping on fabric is so lovely for the rustic texture it gives. Belated happy WOYWW!
