Busy with Bee Blocks

Last week I worked frantically to finish of my strip for the Strip Bees Quilt.  So I'm pleased to finally share with you a few sneek peeks, without giving too much away. 

Here  aresome little Russian dollies;

Some funky flowers;

Aren't these Lamas the cutest!  I simply had to include these.

 

 And look at this cheeky looking lobster.  He's been a favourite of mine for a long time now. 

 

All in all rather an eclectic mix!  I'm pretty sure they tie in with the rest of the quilt - somehow!  And I can't wait for March when we all get to finally get our original strips back, only this time as a complete quilt top.  Only 2 strips left to go, how did that happen! 

I'm working on some more Christmas gift tags tonight, a bit like this one.

I'm making 5 but I might just make 7 - one for me and one for Mr Candy too!

Christmas Tags

This year some hessian Santa sacks caught my eye for my 2 Candies.  There were printed personalised options, and plain ones.  I just loved the personalised ones, but they were a little on the pricey side, so I opted for the plain ones, and decided to make some Christmas tags to tie around them, so that Father Christmas would know whose is who come Christmas Eve. 

 

So here's the one for my little Candy girl.

 

 

And for my littlest Candy, he's got  a red one.

 

 

I wanted to have a go at making an 'icy' one too, so I made it for one of their friends.

 

 

The snowflake is one of those confetti type metallic things, and I pierced a hole and added a bead, then sewed it on like a button. Easy!

 

I took them to playgroup this morning to show a friend, and I'm pleased to say I'm now swamped with orders for them.  So guess what I'll be doing for the next week?!  Not that I'm complaining!

 

What are you making this Christmas?
