good afternoon!
yesterday mr m purchased a length of dowel
about a metre long...
he chopped it in half and drilled a hole in both ends.
i was very pleased and grateful!
a couple of weeks ago now
i posted an unfinished project...
today it is finished
and hung on the wall.
to me the words on it are the essence of Christmas...
the reason and the spirit
of the Christmas season...
sorry the close ups are a little crooked
the edges are left raw
with the top fabric layer cut with pinking shears,
the second layer is polar fleece in snowy white,
the third and backing layer is red felt
which i extended to sccure and hide the dowel.
the hanging thread is a doubled length of gold thread.
the tiny french-knotted golden seeds
are my take of the advent calendar.
there are 24 'seeds' in the top left corner
and one less every square from left to right,
only one in the last square...
my handcrafted corner
for this Christmas...
take one packet of charm squares!...
hoping your journey through the days
to Christmas will be increasingly joyful...
naturally Carol xox
'for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son
that whoever believes in Him shall not die
but have eternal life'...
