Oona is making gift tags - she's not happy with them but they make me think of us two, 'town meets country' - multicoloured neon shaded thread on a hessian ground.

I've plumped for tree decorations. I wanted new ones to match in with some hand painted glass retro baubles that belonged to my parents. I used felt and a kit by 'Paper and String'. The possibilities for colour and ribbon combinations is endless and I could have kept going ...
So all that remains to say from Oona and me is Merry Christmas everyone and thanks for all your support this past year. I hope I can get that underused sewing machine out at some point again this next year!
Oh, I remember those hand blown glass ornaments from my 70s childhood. I'm sad to say that we grandchildren were wont to poke our fingers in the indentation and shattered a lot of those old ornaments. :( I think the felt ones will last much longer! The only homemade thing this year was a joint project between my son and I: I sewed a small carrier bag for his teacher, and he drew a snow scene with permanent markers. She quite liked it.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
These are the only survivors from those days and I love them so much! They look so tiny now!
Deletei LOVE your town and country connection, and the way you described my sad little tag has made me view it in a whole new way!!
ReplyDeletei have those 70s ornaments in my tree exclusively on our city tree... one, i love them, and two, it can't take much more weight than those glass balls :)). these felt twins are exquisite! i feel i need to give this tiny challenge a go again next year and town & country my tree up.
