Christmas Fayre. WMC Cardiff. The robins are going!

I have a stall at the Christmas Fayre in the foyer of the Wales Millennium Centre.

30th November, 1st December, and the following weekend as well.

This is what the fayre looked like last year.

I have never been confined in a roofless gazebo before, and feel I may need to take some fairy lights to illuminate my space.

The fingerprint robins are definitely going, I hope they like it there,

and Christmas Trees too,

Wales Millennium Centre Christmas Fayre, in the Foyer.

30th November, 1st December

7th & 8th December,

Silk Christmas Tree cards, ready for Caemawr Studio!

I always have the desire to sew, although I haven't made anything with fabric for a long time. As a treat to myself I have started making some pieced silk Christmas cards. 

I bought some beautiful textured silk remnants in bold colours.

And enjoyed making the template for the tree, and working out how to piece it, and adding a few beads to each tree.

I thought they might be good to take to Caemawr Studio for the exhibition that opens on Saturday.

robins, bluebirds and fingerprints

I have been making some fingerprint robin Christmas cards, to add to my stock of cards for fairs. Here are the Twelve Robins of Christmas.

Fingerprint robins are great.

I also made some Twelve Bluebirds of Happiness cards.

Bluebirds are equally satisfying.

The idea came from a fantastic book, brilliant design, printed on beautiful paper, one of the most high quality craft books ever.

 Also planned are the Twelve Snowmen of Winter, and something apocalyptic to do with blackbirds.
