Christmas in July.

I was a bit lost as to what to make next so I decided to make a start on Christmas things as I usually have too many things I want to make and run out of time! This is what I've made so far:

Pudding Bears are always fun to make and I currently have 2 for sale. This was the first one I made last week.

And here are the 2 together. :)

My Lovely Martin made the present, isn't it cute? He made some others too! The small one on top is very tiny.

 

 

They are not for sale as they mean a lot to me... His first felted items! :) Maybe soon I can have him working for me or doubling up for joint projects? :D Sadly I don't think he's that much in to it. Ah well. :)

Today I have finished Holly, a little Fairy Bear with artificial holly wings. I can make more of these!

 

 

His sister came to visit for a few days and because we'd not met before, (she didn't even know about me at all yet) I thought it would be less awkward if I stayed with my parents for a bit while they stayed here and so they could have a proper catch up. She brought all his stuff from his old place so he has finally moved in properly now and is no longer living out of his suitcase! No photos on that yet as things are still getting moved around. ;)

My parents and I visited a local beach before we went back to their house the day his sister arrived.

 

 

Mum and I did a little clothes shopping the day after as I don't have very many things to wear with changing sizes so much over the past year and a bit. A few years ago I'd never have went into a changing room! I was far too self conscious and worried about every little thing... Being a size bigger than my already huge size, ripping stuff by accident while trying to get it on, my huge bum sticking out of the curtain and people laughing... Much more confident these days, even though I still have a fair way to go in terms of weight and confidence. :) I am getting there!

 

Not a great photo, but proof none the less!

 

It's nice to be home again now. :)

 

Bye for now,
