December Delights

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

I do love decorating the house for Christmas! Tree went up on the 1st December. This year I wanted to make a bauble for my sister as it the first year of her and her husband being married. I wanted to make something personal so I decided to decoupage hearts of her first dance lyrics on to a polystyrene bauble base. I added the embellishment of the extra hears and pearls for extra depth. 

I of course had to have a practice run with my first dance lyrics first! So ended up making one for my sister, one for myself and mixed the two sets of heart lyrics together to make one for my mum! I enjoyed making them so much and will be making more on request! 



I have been busy this weekend finishing off my fire place "Merry Christmas" garland.


This has been made out of Red & Green felt but could be made out of any material and fabric. I have embroidered white snowflakes on to the letters. I toyed with the idea of using silver thread. Maybe next time for another project! 


  Next weekend I will be going foraging in the woods some materials to make my Christmas Table Centre piece! 

Got to love Christmas!
