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.

Julz

back with more soon!

to all a.....

Merry Christmas!

and hoping that everyone is safe and well in NZ and also the NT
thinking of you all

my friends daughter picked it up on Tuesday,
very happy with the finished product!

quick market update...
waste of time! basically...

if I was selling gourmet foods/drinks, cherries or strawberries...I would of made a small fortune!

maybe next time...if I decide to go again that is...

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.

and yes the other pressies ARE under the tree!
9 sleeps to go....
