12 Days of Christmas

Mum did most of the work on this one but I took it on to finish. I didn’t keep track of how much I did but I worked on it over the Christmas holidays for at least a couple of years. This was the year I wanted it finished and it was done just a bit before the end of the year.

I’ll get it framed so I can hang it next year.

Cards & Tags

Depending on the size these could either be called cards or tags; I use them interchangeably. If I counted correctly there were 31 in this year’s batch.

I’ve usually start working on them in October and I’ve already collected a number of patterns for next year.

If your particular piece is missing it’s because I wrapped some parcels before I remembered to take a photo. There were also some duplicates and I didn’t take more than one photo.

The Kitchen House

This is one of the books included in Kathryn’s 2025 birthday bag. I saw the idea on Facebook and decided to pass it along. On her birthday Kathryn received a bag of books (second hand that I’ve pre-read) each wrapped in brown paper. The idea is that once a month (on her birthdate) she can pick a book to read. Each book includes a bookmark of some sort.
