To anybody sending handmade gifts to the UK, please do not just say gift or what is inside the parcel. They charge duties on it. They scan packages, to make sure it has inside what it says. Which is a good thing, except, when the handmade article looks so good, they do not believe a person made it? Always write in bold, HANDMADE and HOMEMADE before stating the contents.
This purse they believed is shop bought.
The pink bag as well. The patterns and hardware comes from
Emmaline Bags.
The seasons change, this was in the fall, with the mist.
The rug hooking guild had another display at the local library.
This festive piece caught my eye. It was very well done.
Carol brought in a stocking made for her son, everyone in the family has received a stitched stocking from her Aunt, what a special gift.
Love the teddies.
These are all woven pieces, they are super soft and are drying cloths, made from linen.
Marguerite, is new at weaving, she jumped into the craft the last year and what she has been making, is just so amazing.
Diane has been stitching away, her 2018 Stitch-a-long for December has been started.
This is the 2017 one, done in shades of blue. She has finished the purple one.
We are truly blessed with all the creative people who surround us.
You know it is cold outside, when the trees are covered in frost.
I have some buttons that say Handmade with Love. I'll get some for you to sew into your bags!
