More prezzies!

Here's some of my other presents that I made (and forgot to photograph at the time). There's more again to put up (for instance the checkbook cover I made my Gran), but unfortunately I didn't take pictures of. I think I was just so worn-out from making everything in time.

Frog tea cosy for my boyfriend Scott. He loves frogs! It's just a hat with a frog's head that I made from green felt sewn on the top. The collar is lace.


 Tea cosy for my Mum and Dad. It's a hat of mine that's too big for my wee heed! I made the cat from a sock and sowed it on the top.

Cat wall-hanging for Scott's Mum. These wee guys are made from felt and decorated with buttons, lace, ribbon etc, then attached with thread. I put beads on the thread for added sparkle.

Close-up of wall-hanging.

Bedroom door plaque for Scott's daughter Julia. It's made from stiff card decorated with patterned tissue. I then added silver stars, ribbons and lace, and cut out letters from felt.

Sock dog for Julia.


Zebra draft excluder for my Aunty Linda

 'Bug Village' for my little cousin Rachael. The 'bugs' are just stones from the garden with googly eyes stuck on them.

 Clay, card, felt and fake moss flamingo ornament for my cousin Emma. The legs are cocktail sticks coloured in with black pen.


Brooch for my Aunty Ailsa made from felt, card, ribbon and material. The rose in the middle is scrunched up ribbon from an old dress, and the material is from a top that's too big.
Bottle cover for my Uncle Alan made from the sleeve of a cardigan I don't wear. I threaded a ribbon along the top as a draw-string and I hand-stitched the felt garlic motif (he loves garlic!). The clay head on the top of the cork is supposed to be him!
