my creative space...

 

today i am feeling festive whilst stitching Christmas stockings...

alice and i have been making bespoke personalized Christmas stockings for some time now. over these last 8 years we have made them in various colours and fabrics and it gives  us such a thrill to think that the stockings  we have made will be adorning fireplaces and bed posts this Christmas waiting to be filled by the man in red...

at the start of our business we were lucky enough to have our stockings featured in House and Garden magazine  (2002) and from that wee bit of publicity and through the customers we met at shows we always get orders to make some each year... the pictures are of two that  i have nearly completed...

tomorrow we are running a stocking making workshop at the West End Centre based on the stocking pattern in our first book, which coincidentally has been included in this month's edition of 'Sew' magazine. i am looking forward to seeing what our group produce...

i wonder do you still have stockings? we do ... and i have just got them out today ... 4 for us and two for the cats which the girls designed and made last year.... (our cats are very spoiled). here are the cats ones...

 

they are very sweet and it was a great little crafty project for the girls to get in to last december... i wonder what project i can suggest this year ... any ideas?

Wishing you  Happy Weekends
