.....but only because the snow made it impossible for me to get into work today which meant I could get started on my Christmas sewing. (Obviously I was gutted at the idea of not going to work and spending the day with my beloved sewing machine!)
I bought quite a few big fleecy blankets from Asda a few weeks ago as I figured they might come in handy for making gift bags so today I made some Santa sacks. I appliqued a felt reindeer on one of them and a santa suit on the other one. I have to say the Santa one turned out around double the size I was intending so Im going to keep that one for myself and tell my OH he has to fill it for me!!
(Dont know what happened in the photo below as they appear to be pink rather than red.)
I added some red sparkly ribbon to the tops to gather them. I think they will look quite cute under my tree!
Also made some little Xmas deccies and gift tags as well. Nothing spectacular but as Im posting I thought I might as well take a piccie (albeit not a very good one!)
Currently making lots of crafting goodies and more Xmas presents but havent finished them yet so will post again in a few weeks. Hope you are all well. xxx
Fab makes - love the gift sacks, they will look great under the tree.
