Everyone loves plum pudding?  These ones are non-fattening, all made from felt.

 

 

A platter of goodness, all made from felt

Muffins and Cupcakes anyone?

Unique little Christmas tree decorations, felt gingerbread muffins and snow cupcakes. The gingerbreads smell so good, they are dusted with spicy snow flurries and dabbed with a little bit of gingerbread oil. 

 

Close-up of each as I was packing them away

 

 

 

Just a few of each, as I like to have a variety of different items for sale on my market table.

Felt goodies

As noted in my last post, I have been making a lot of felt items for Saturday's market.  They were hard to photograph, or maybe I was just tired when I was trying.

Snow cones ... I had some of these cardboard cones, and the idea came to me, to make some snow cones.  I think they came out great, lightly dusted with iridescent flakes to look like snow.  This first photo is of one popped up in the cellophane tape holder to dry - do not look at the mess surrounding the actual cone, please?

 

An even messier shot  - good to see I was only drinking water ....

 

 

Last one, of the four I made, as I said, hard to photograph

 

 

Gingerbread muffins and snow cupcake photos tomorrow

Gingerbreads for the Red Carpet Market Day

I have had fun this weekend, finishing off some Christmas items for the next Red Carpet Market Day which is to be held next Saturday 26th September

Three new gingerbreads ..

 

Each one a little different, I think I like the pink one best, sweet

 

 

 

 

 

I have also made some other felt items, snow cones, gingerbread muffins and snow cupcakes.  Can you see a theme happening here?  I will post photos tomorrow.

Gingerbread Trio

Looking through my blog I came across a set of gingerbreads that I made back in 2011 - see post here

I remembered how cute they were, so I dug out the pattern and started again.  

Looking back,  my photography has not improved at all, ha ha.

The first shot was taken in daylight while the latest one was taken inside with a flash .

I wish I was looking at the original photo when I made the second set, even though it is 4 years apart, I used practically the same checked fabrics.  The felt was darker this time around, and cinnamon was rubbed into the felt, but other than that, very similar.

Still very cute and yummy

Felt Elf Wine Bottle Topper

Make a elf wine bottle topper, completely removable

A rectangle of felt, wrapped around the top of the bottle and then hand sewn into place.  Sew a piece of fake fur to the inside of the hat for his bead, and then glue on a wooden ball for the nose.  Simple

This idea was found on Pinterest, what an amazing site that is?

Swedish Woven Heart Decoration

These felt woven hearts were made, after watching a video by the Missouri Star Quilt Co.   They used wool, but for my first attempt I just used some felt pieces.

Very simple to make, with good instructions.  I put a little eyelet in the top of each side so that a ribbon could be threaded through for ease of opening.  

They are very roomy inside and you can make them whatever size you like

Not sure what I will be filling them with, but I like the idea of using this red and white one as a bag on a Santa.  Filled with greenery, pipberry and a couple of toys.  Slung over his shoulder, I think it would work?

They could be hung on the Christmas Tree, filled with Candy Canes etc, or even just given as a gift with a gift card inside, many ideas for uses

Another one in a soft green and cream

While I have the felt out, I will be trying another Pinterest idea, stay tuned

Felt Santa and Reindeer

This is the second Lizzie and Co pattern I  have completed this week.  They are so quick and easy, I think that has become my motto for my projects lately. I love getting fast results.

 

Again, made entirely from felt.  I even used felt buttons for his coat front, star on hat, and star on bottom of hat.  I used a "mid brown" felt for the reindeer this time, darker than the previous one and also added a little bit of fake fur between the ears.

The sun is shining today, so I will be out in the garden, it is a pleasant change after all the cold weather.  What are you doing today?

 

Felt, felt buttons, chenille sticks, tiny black buttons (for eyes), rusty bells, and Santa's beard are all available from my online store
