Christmas card

This is one of my standard four card designs for Christmas 2007.

1. Fold green base card

2. Cut striped paper and use double sided tape to adhere to crimson red card.

3. Place patterned card on green card and poke four corner holes and attach metalic brads on the edges. Be sure that you dont poke holes through the back of the card too.

4. Stamp Christmas stamp onto white/cream card stock. Trim closely then use corner punch to round two right hand sides.

5. Attach swirl embellishment to white stamped paper

6. loop matching wool/yarn onto patterned card and sellotape in place

7. mount cream card onto patterned paper

The importance of backstitch lol...

Finished my sheep bookmark! Now I can read with a bit of a flavour of home beside me. :o)

Baby gifts

Because her name was too long to fit on a baby bib...

Little Ari's bib. The lettering is massive, took me ages to do this bib!

Knitted beanies

These were knitted from Paton's 7010 pattern leaflet. It takes two balls of wool per beanie and costs under $10 each. I started the blue beanie on the weekend and completed it easily by Wednesday (having previously made myself the pinky coloured one).
