More Christmas Makes

Here they are - the final batch of projects I made for Christmas presents etc.
Grace likes owls so I used applique and embroidery to make her this owl cushion for her room.
The owl has large button eyes.

I also made some fancy labels to make the presents extra special. Here are two I made.


They are just plain luggage labels decorated with nice paper and a felt flower.

The flower has a sequin centre and some gold thread embroidery on it - to make it sparkle.
I knitted some little bags and filled them with chocolates.

The pattern is by Diana Mulholland and is available as a free Ravelry download.

I couldn't resist these cute little elves.

They are crocheted and have a wooden clothes peg inside them to grip to whatever you want.
I used tiny black beads for the eyes. The hats can be customised but mine are all plain at the moment. I made five in total.

The pattern is by Irene Strange and was in the December 2010 issue of Inside Crochet magazine.

I used them to attach name cards to ribbons on the backs of dining chairs. They are now swinging quite happily from the curtains.


Finally, as a little stocking filler I made us all finger moustaches.



This is a really quick and easy pattern to make - and is guaranteed to bring a smile to every one's faces.
The pattern is by Megan Death and is available free here.
Well that brings all the Christmas projects up to date.
