Things and Christmas crafting - White Poinsettia Christmas Stocking
I have been looking for, for absolutely ages are suddenly coming to light despite previous hunts for them coming up with nothing. Funny that when you are doing a tidy up.
Last year I bought some threads and braids for Christmas decorations and when I wanted them could I find them. Today they have been found together with all sorts of decorations, threads and kits. I had neatly put them all together in a box with like minded stuff and then had popped something completely different on top of them so that they could not be seen. I am one of these people who puts things in a safe place and then cannot locate them when I need them.
NOTE TO SELF must be better organised.
I have also come across a box of Christmas decorations, candles, lamps so they have been put out where I can find them. I also came across some Bucilla Christmas felt kits that I had completely forgotten about. I am going to revisit these in January as there is a lot of them they cost an arm and a leg and I think January will be a good place to start with working them. There are decorations, stockings, a door draught excluder, a pack of handle decorations, tree skirts, table runners and door wreaths.
In reality I have not achieved much today. I have gone through about 8 plastic chests and looked at the contents of those with a view to marrying up like minded items together so that I can locate things a lot more easily. This will be a work in progress (WIP) as I add bits and bobs as I find them.
Talking of Christmas decorations. I was perusing Pinterest when I came across this lovely stocking tutorial and thought I might well give this a go at some point. I thought I would share as it is quite lovely and it may be something that you may like to make yourselves.
This is a pure white felt stocking with Poinsettia flowers and beadwork. The original link is here:
The designer used a free template of Amy Butler to make the Christmas stocking and the link for that is here:
Now to get some white felt. I have plenty of beads.
It is very similar to the kit that I worked last year for the grey felt stocking with poinsettia decoration and beadwork.
Right am off to browse.
Catch you soon.

Having labels of contents on the front of the boxes helps too Tricia. I am also one for losing things because I put them in a "safe place"!!
