Taking a gamble that the people who are getting these for Christmas don’t read this blog (hello loz, Pam, Vicky, Coryn if you do – you’ll just have to wait til tomorrow and I hope you like them..) to show you what I’ve been up to today.

Felt brooches and wallhangings – if anyone would like one or would like to know how to make them just ask! Its a terrible photo – the daylight has left us at 4:15pm today and my camera flash is rubbish. Some have worked better than others – my favourites are the little lacey brooches. They look good on knitted berets and bags.

Have a great Christmas to those who celebrate it. I’ll be having a turkey lunch with some good friends, followed by indecent amounts of alcohol, cake, cheese and chat.
