Cute Sock Reindeer and Penguin
A tree full of Tealight Snowmen
A trio of Tealight Characters
Cute Tealight Snowman
Ainsdale Christmas Lights
Oh just look at the amazing Christmas Cuties that Cheryl has made for her Stall tomorrow, the first two are a twist on the Sock snowmen from last saturdays photo, a beige Arran knit sock makes the perfect Reindeer, the Penguin looks like a glove with the fingers as its flippers.
Can you imagine how fabulous Cheryl's stall will look with this Christmas tree full of these Cute little Tealight Characters, so simple yet such a clever idea, a battery operated tea light with ribbon wrapped around, then decorated with different things to make them look like Santa's or snowmen.
Cheryl I think that you will definitely have a total sell out tomorrow, raising plenty of money for the
Cardiomyopathy charity,
the link will take you to the Cardiomyopathy Uk Website so that you can find out more about what the Support the Charity provides. Thank you so much for sharing your crafts with us Cheryl xxx
The last photograph was taken by our Michele of Ainsdale Chrstmas Lights, they look so pretty, thank you so much for sharing it with us xxx
I am looking forward to seeing all of your challenge cards tomorrow ladies,
Have a lovely weekend.
Love and Hugs
Sandra

Morning Ladies
ReplyDeleteCheryl-I love your sock characters & the tea light ones. I hope you sell everything today at your Fair.
I've got everything assembled ready for loading the car. I just need to pop to the butchers first then I'll head to the church hall. My crazy friend is hoping to come to the Fair-think she wants more cards. I made another 5 cards last night. Gave up at 9pm and just sat in front of the TV.
Michele
Thank you Michele, I hope your sale goes equally well. xxx
DeleteHi Michele hope you have a good day & sell out. Lights look lovely in Ainsdale.x xx
DeleteHi Michele
DeleteI hope you managed to sell all your cards, lights look great,
Morning Sandra & ladies,
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to see our hard work published. Jacque(who gave up quite a lot of her free time to help and donated a lot of the products used) and I have had so much fun, loads of tea and coffee and a right old natter making these items. I think my favourite would have to be the penguins. It took quite a lot of working out to get the shapes, done on my computer, for his face, tummy, and wings to be the right size. They are made of felt which is then stuck with a very light beading of hot glue to the sock shape. His feet are 'crazy foam' triangles cut with my pinking shears. We used the toe part of the socks for the bodies, no sewing required, then used elastic bands to get the body and head shape before using strong bunting string to tie off. Although it says on YouTube to use elastic bands throughout, they harden and break as time goes by and the animals fall apart, and we wanted ours to last for a quite a long time.
The tea lights are a bargain if you need some for Christmas decs ladies, 12 for £2.99 bought from B&M. And the candle flames change colour so my tree will be bright and cheerful. Bought at the Range for £14.99 each (3ft tall and very bushy) the two trees at each end of my stall all lit up will attract customers where hopefully they will stay and buy.
We sold 3 snowmen before I even got to the URC craft and coffee morning last Saturday so we are hoping for a sell out tonight at Cannington Christmas.
Using 'make your own decorations' hearts, I filled them with a spoonful of microbeads (for snow) and white feathers. Glued them together with cosmic shimmer glue then added and glued, as before, a thin band of ribbon to hide the joint, added a hanging string and a small silk ribbon rose to the top of the heart.
So my theme is hearts for Cardiomyopathy. I still have the bunting they kindly gave me this year which will be added to my stall once the tablecloths are on.
After this marathon of crafting I still have my Christmas cards to do, which will be like Janet's, simple ones this year.
And after all that, the new year will find I have more time to sit and play with my new sewing machine and finally get to grips with my CutNScan. I already have the design for Pete's pillowcases for the grandchildren in my head, just the makings of them to be done.
Well time is flying past so I'm off for a shower and a bit of relax time. My boxes are all stored in Jamie's fold up festival trolley to be wheeled down the road tonight. No need for the car or carrying the boxes now.
I will catch up with the missed posts later.
Love & hugs
Cheryl xxx
Hi Cheryl,
DeleteYou have worked very hard for such a worth while cause, I am sure it will all fly of stall.xxx
Hi Cheryl, I bet all your hard work will make lots of money for your charity. My grandchildren just loved the sock penguin and reindeer and also the tea light decorations. I hope you take some pictures of your trees decorated with them. Hopefully after Christmas you'll be able to play with the sewing machine Pete bought you.
