Christmas Decorations projects

I finally unpacked some Christmas decorations

I have decided to decorate with only white,blue and silver this year

I only unpacked the ones I had in these colours

This Angel was very tattered and dusty from years of Christmases

So I recovered her with scraps of lace I had,including her falling apart wings

I also made a little tinsel halo

I am just thrilled with her new look

I forgot to take a photo of the before,

 but you could imagine after about 30 yrs how she would have looked

I love her new look

I then decided to make some lacy stockings

I cut out the shape using old white sheeting, one for the front and one for the back

I glued a Victorian girls photo to the middle

and then just placed and pinned pieces of scrap lace in a 

crazy patchwork way over the entire front.

I stitched them all on using the machine

and zigzagged around the entire shape

Then I placed the back piece over the top

with a piece of stiffening in the same shape over this and the back

pinning through the 4 layers

Machine stitch all around the outside,leaving the top open

Trim around the outside close to stitching

Clipping the curved edges for easy turning

Turn in the right way pushing out all seams

Add a piece of lace trim around the top and machine stitch in place

Add a ribbon loop the the top 

And hang,

If you are still with me, I'm on a roll girls

(he he,don't think the guys would be)

Then I made a little heart the same way

PS. do you like my table covering. I bought it online from 

Fabric Traders (Simone at Beach Vintage's shop)

This is  bag I made a couple of years back

Still going

Got the glue gun out and 

glued some fabric roses I made a little while ago

to a little wreath

Annnnnnd, Tissied up my plain pearl wreath with some pretty baubles and bows

I think that's enough for one day

Let's go visit some more blogs for more Inspiration

I certainly get lots of that from blogs and pinterest

What would we do without them?

Must mention too.

I have been getting loads of spams on my comment board this week

Never happened to me before, it's a bit scary.

Not sure what to do about it other than just click on spam to clear it,any ideas greatly appreciated.

They sure are persistent

It's in a foreign language, but I did recognise the drug word, NOT NICE

Anyway off to have a browse

Oh and I will be visiting some of my regular parties too

The links are on my side bar.
