Sunday Stash.....on Monday

It's official! My mom is here for a visit and my Christmas time of giving and receiving has started! So for my Sunday Stash (on Monday) I have chosen a few flannel fabrics from my stash:

Sunday Stash fun at 1/4 of an inch

Christmas decorations....

I finally got a minute to decorate our unit for Christmas. We are not going to have a tree but I still decided to hang my Christmas star that I made when I was 12 and some Russian tree decorations...

The star needed a fresh stuffing and some repairs done to it.

I was amazed how messy my first embroidery was at the back and how far I have come in perfecting my embroidery skills. It's nice to be able to look back at your childhood creations. Regardless of the messy back of the embroidery, this start has won me a first prize on the winter cross-stitch competition and I really treasure it. I also made a Christmas bird filled with lavender for the bedroom.

It's raining in Sydney so it's a perfect weather to stay inside and be creative.

Have a creative afternoon!

Inspired by....

On day 16 of Advent Blog-a-long, I was inspired by this picture and decided to use my cross-stitched owl for the wall decoration.

Picture found here.

I made a few owl pictures today.

So, you can find one of them in my shop.

Stamping on pink (Advent Blog-a-long, Day 15)

I tried my new stamp today. I like brown on pink! I think it looks nice and bright. Now, my buttons are ready to go to someone's creative home.

You can never have enough buttons!

Day 14 of Advent Blog-a-long I spent the evening making fabric covered buttons! They are really cute and highly addictive! I love the tiny ones with a small apple or cherry... I also made a few yo-yos and started on more patchwork strings! So, I had a quite productive evening!
