I am blogging after quite some time! When I came back from India at the end of June I didn't really have anything to blog about and I haven't been feeling very creative so had not made anything much either!
Recently, I've been thinking about what to make for Christmas this year and have made a few things. I am flying out to Goa on 1 December for 3 months so won't really need to do much this year but I will make up some things to take out as gifts for friends.
One thing I have made are these large gingerbread men to hang from the door. They are quite a bit bigger than my usual tree decoration ones and look lovely hung on doors. I am going to personalise them with a tag like the one in the photo below.
I've also made some more of the tags I used on the gingerbread men and put Christmas words on them. They are quite a nice little size to add onto gifts.
I've also made some more little fox brooches which are cute.
I have been getting messy this week doing a papier mache bowl. I started making the bowl as something to do with my 7 year old niece but she lost interest after about 5 minutes!! Anyway, as I had already started it, I thought I may as well complete the project!! It was messy work and pretty time consuming but I love the end result. I haven't done papier mache since I was a kid!
The bowl is around 14cm in diameter. It is quite solid and has a good weight to it as well. I am looking around the house for a larger bowl now so that I can make a fruit bowl!
That's it for now!
Ok that plush fox is to die for! Oh my goodness it's adorable. And I really like how well your bowl turned out, it looks so perfect and smooth. I hope you write more posts!
