Playing Catch Up With Christmas.
Posted on | December 8, 2014 | 15 Comments
As always at this time of year, Christmas is coming far too quickly. It is hard to stay in front.
But a lovely parcel arrived last week to improve the situation. It turns out Cheryll of Gone Stitchin is my final FHFS partner for 2014 and look at this lovely sight.
How lucky am I?
Thank you, Cheryll, for this delightful parcel of goodies. I look forward to discovering the contents when the allotted date arrives. It’s very exciting.
I have a large selection of ornaments that are too heavy for a normal tree and for several years I have been looking for an idea that would work for the heavies.
I found this perfect tree in a local store on the weekend and realised it would be perfect for the job.
It is as tall as me so should hold quite a few ornies.
I have been stitching away and getting in a few finishes.
These are Marg Low‘s felt Santas. Love the scarf on the back of them.
These little birds are also a Marg Low design.
And also a few more notebooks, also from Marg Low. (Definitely a pattern here.)
That’s a short and sharp post for today. Too many end of year functions to get to.
Hope you are enjoying a few as well.
Cheers, Karen

Beautiful work as usual. I have never heard of Marg Low…. until now, I am going to peruse her website and see how much my credit card card can stand! xxxx
Karen, your ornaments are adorable! You do such wonderful work! Great tree you purchased to hang the heavier ornaments. And those little notebooks are exquisite. Have a wonderful Christmas!
All your Christmas decorating is delightful Karen! There is something very satisfying about making decorations and felt is the perfect material to use! Love those snowmen!

I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a tree like that. It will be interesting to see it all filled in with your pretty ornaments. All your stitcheries are so pretty! Have fun.
I applaud your self-control to not open the packages as soon as they arrived!!! Cant wait to see what you received. I too love the back of the snowmen…..it adds a perfect touch to the ornaments. Happy Partying!!
Hello Karen,
I wonder what is under that wrapping? Not long to find out. The Christmas ornaments are so lovely and neatly made. Love the little notebooks, they will make lovely presents.
Happy days.

What a great tree. Your ornaments are gorgeous, Karen. I like the snowman’s scarf on the back too.
Adorable ornaments! Enjoy your holiday preparations.
Those felt birds are just darling?
Lovely looking lot of parcels from Cheryll. Enjoy opening them and we will look forward to seeing the contents. Sad you can’t join us next year for FHFS. Love your Marg Low projects. Marg comes up with some great gift patterns for us to sew
