secret stuff part 1

these are some of the things I had been working on before Christmas (orders)
below is a large flower hairclip,
very easy to make...found the tutorial through Google
(sorry can't remember the name...just google fabric flowers? i think)


another one found online,
also easy to make, and look great as a brooch...


these are the things I made for my friend Desley, for her daughter for Christmas...
hope she liked them....
as I made each item, there were a few little persons saying how much they would like them!

a close up of the bag....turned out a little different than planned, but good all the same,
quite long, sits nicely and a great size for shopping.

back with more soon!

it's here!


my SSCS present from Sandra
thank you!


opened up the ornie...
a very cute little knitted monkey,
he will sit amongst the other Christmas toys we have...
and some lovely white frosty ornies for the tree...
Sandra must of been peeking in the windows, as they go perfectly with the purple, silver and white that my girls used this year on the tree.
