Every year I say I am going to have presents ready for teachers and friends and every year it is always a mad rush. So I decided to join. But one of the main reasons was the fact that I wanted to be organised enough to donate some things for our school Christmas stall. What better way than to start planning now?
The first thing we needed to do is make a journal. Now I've wanted to try that for a while so using the pattern from Moda Bake Shop I made this. (Giles the 2002 Harrods Christmas Bear is my holder).
I dug out some Debbie Mumm christmas fabric for the cover - I am not so sure about the varigated quilting thread but after all it is the first one I have done. The stitching on the front I had from last year. I bought it as a little kit from one of the craft shows and it was supposed to be made into an an ornament but I just was never happy with the way it was going. So when this project turned up it seemed perfect for the job.
So here I am ready to go.....
