Christmas is fast approaching and all the girls here have been busy, busy, making lots of fun bits and pieces for Santa's arrival. We've fimoed and cornflour doughed and made a couple of mini loo roll albums - tonight we will be attempting yummy dog biscuits! I'm hoping my (probably pathetic) attempts at doggy treats will be acceptable and that the family pooches shouldn't be too bothered that I'm no Mary Berry when it comes to homemade bakes...
So, Millie did very well at the school Xmas Craft Fair with her Fimo earrings/badges and managed another sellout! This time we were quite festive with our makes and did some cute polar bears and penguins as well as the old standards - xmas puddings and trees etc and raised nearly £150 in sales! Just when I thought it was safe to put the Fimo back in the cupboard, little Sadie said she wanted to make some bear magnets for all her friends at school for xmas presents! Eeek! I managed to persuade her that she should really only give to her very best friends and so got away with making only four more - phew! Honestly I'm seeing Fimo in my sleep! Still that's it all done now and we can have a wee break.

| Four little friends for four of Sadie's little friends! |

| These little bears were made with transparent Fimo which makes them look like they're made of icing! |
Pop by again soon!

So cute Jak! I have made a gorgeous red and silver felt heart decoration which I am so pleased with. I only made one though as it involved a needle and thread which just about caused me to hyperventilate! X
ReplyDeleteThat sounds beautiful Elaine must get a look at that. I admire anyone who has the patience to sew and I'm hyperventilating just thinking about it! Merry Christmas E!
