Just to let you know, I have joined the Monthly Make over at The Felt Fairy. You can join at any time and just copy and paste the badge into your blog. I did join in January, but I am a little late with my January and February makes!

January make is two Cupcake Door hangers


February make is a cute Valentine Love Heart Bunting

Felt Fairy 's blog is a great read and she also sells felt, buttons, ribbon and other yummy things from her webshop and on Etsy. There is a Flickr Group to post your makes too! So join in, get invloved and get making! :0)

O Christmas Tree!

I have so many little off-cuts of fabric left over that this weekend I thought I would put them to good use and make a little patchwork Christmas Tree! It's been decorated with cream ric-rac braid and green buttons from my vast collection. It just needs a little star or ribbon bow at the top. I have so many ideas for some more; I'd love to make a lace one with mother of pearl buttons, sort of vintage style.

After making the tree, I was doodling a star with a Teddy Bear in it. I wanted to make a decoration to go on a Christmas tree that could be personalised.



This is it made in felt.



Another doodle with a little girl's face.



Almost done, just needs blanket stitching all the way round the edges.
