Festive owl and Christmas wreath

For last years Christmas cards, I went with another knitted theme.

Using the owl I knitted, I created a small Santa hat and bushed up the wreath to make a smashing festive scene.

Quite good fun if you ask me!

Rock Kittens, another?!

Yet another rock kitten?! Can't my rock cat control itself?!

Another cute rock kitten to add to my mad eccentric boyfriend's collection!

Shopping in a Winter Wonderland

As always, I enjoy a good challenge, one of which is decorating the shop up for an event or for a festival of some kind.

Valentines all pink and red...

Easter with its gentle warm colours...

Leeds Festival...

and of course, Hallowe'en...

But Christmas, a time of massive festivities! I went all out this season!

The clouds even lit up too!

Homemade earring stand

As a Christmas present for one of my sisters, I had the cunning plan to make her a couple of earring stands.

As a designer, you naturally do a small amount of research before jumping straight into a project.

Her room isn't massive and there is limited shelf space. So instead of an earring stand, I made 2 earring frames.

2 ornate picture frames I found in the charity shop I work in, with mesh instead of a picture. Of course, I removed the glass and cut the backing to size so it made its own frame to cover up and strengthen the glue bond at the back.

I also added new string that wasn't starched into a triangular point.

As you can see, they hang proudly on her wall!

Christmas earrings and Jingle bells

Completely forgot about this post... It's never too late (or too early!) for a Christmas post!
Last Christmas (2015), I made my sister a pair of glass tree and silver wire earrings.

Very straight forward and basic but very effective!
The year previously (2014), I made the same pair of earrings, for another sister, but in the reverse colours.

Each pair has its own Christmas theme; the first set having traditional colours, whilst the second pair, has silver trim on the tree and 'silver bells'.

How Christmassy!

1000!

I have reached the 1000 page view count!

Thank you to all you lovely people out there who most likely found my blog by being bored. I couldn't have done it without you!

Time to celebrate I think, in style!

See you at the next 1000 my lovely Moment-eers!

Remember, remember

Happy Bonfire Night!
