I thought I would make some single decorations with felt scraps. It's also a good way to use up shorter pieces of embroidery silks. The centre pieces are from children's bracelets. I have stiffened them with cardboard in between the back and front. Doing a little bit of embroidery is quite relaxing. I will possibly make some more later on, but I have other ideas waiting to be started.
The decorations are great and will appeal to everyone.
ReplyDeleteHope you got some bargains at Aldi.

Thank you. I had some similar decorations last year at the Christmas Fair, and they sold well.
DeleteOnly two other customers in the shop, no stress, so easy. Spent too much though, ha ha. Now relaxing with a mug of hot choccy and a muffin. Bliss.
Have a good weekend Ilona. Hope you get lots of bargains at Aldi. Your decorations are great!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I got a bag of salad leaves with 30% off. I'm sticking with Aldi, they are cheaper than Tesco.
DeleteBright and cheery. Arilx
ReplyDeleteThank you, they are.
DeleteLove aldi, they do some really good vegi food as well.
ReplyDeleteHave you looked at the crafts on pinterest? Some really good ideas on there.
I have just made a couple of framed pictures using pebbles I got from the beach. I'm not artistic at all but I'm really happy with the way they have turned out. Made the pebbles into little birds, sitting on a branch. Frames were £3 from wilko, deeper than picture frames.
I thought of your blog when I was doing them.
I did look at the crafts on Pinterest once, as you say, some good ideas. I don't go back because I get my inspiration from lots of different places.
DeleteYour pebble picture sounds nice. Did you varnish them? Well done.
You are a talented crafter.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I just think I am better at practical hobbies, rather than academic stuff.
DeleteThey are beautiful so cool and colourful x
ReplyDeleteYour imagination and handiwork are wonderful, Ilona. I admire both of those things in you. ~Andrea
ReplyDeleteLove those decorations. I do miss not been able to shop at Aldi, there isn't one locally.
ReplyDeleteI am thankful that we have a smaller Aldi not too far away. I wondered if they might close it when the new bigger store opened on the retail park. They didn't, because it's close to high rise flats and housing, so it's easy for people to walk there. A short drive in the car for me.
DeleteLove that you treated yourself to all those sweetie goodies when you're usually so disciplined, you're right, you are worth it, but watch for out for cavities as dentists aren't functioning as normal :-). Love your blogs and your youtube channels. You are very wise. I really enjoy your crafting, would love you to do some more crafting on video so we can learn some things. looking forward to your next Youtube video. Enjoy your sugar party.
ReplyDeleteThese are simply beautiful.
