Christmas Worry Worms

Christmas prep comes early for crafters. The house is full of various boxes and trays of Christmasy looking bits and pieces.

Having spent a long weekend in Leicester with my nephew and his family, I spent what little spare time we had, making 14 worry worms. The children wanted to make gingerbread houses and fairies. There were rugby matches to watch, allotments to weed, children to collect from school and babies to cuddle.

 I came home with a cold so I spent today resting and completing the worry worm characters. It has been wet and miserable outside anyway but up in Leicester they woke up to a layer of snow. 

Inspired by gingerbread houses, and an experiment ....

 

..... little elves ....

 

 ....... Santas .....

 

...... snowmen ....

 

....... reindeer.

Coming up at the end of November, is a craft fair, in the next village. I am looking forward to it.

Lots of my Christmas makes will be there.

Here are a few more.

And of course the inevitable fairies.

Recently I saw my five year old great-nephew and he asked me to make something with his favourite old pyjamas, which are covered in tractors.

So I came up with this.

Its a mini-quilt.

And finally I made a pompom dog. We took Rosie for a family walk and I made this one-off tree decoration for his owner, Pauline.
 

I wonder whats next?
