Hungry eyes

I get a fair few people asking me about homemade gifts, which I take as a massive compliment. I love searching for appropriate gifts or thinking about things I've already made and how they could be adjusted to a suitable recipient.
No problem so far. But you see I then get what I call 'hungry eyes' I look at the new idea all shiny and pretty looking and immediately want in on it. Sometimes because I don't think the people understand the vision I have in my head (how can they, they aren't mind readers) so I think they might ruin it, then other times I just want to make it myself - just to prove to myself that I can.
This happened recently. Under the guise of being helpful, after a friend said she had lots on, I suggested I made some flags she needed for our church holiday club. She only asked me to cut the shapes out to save her a job, I may have gone too far...

Christmas Bunting

This is just a quick blog to share with you my afternoon's efforts.
I was really touched to be asked to make some festive bunting for my church and thrilled that bunting has found its place in the festivities. Originally accepted as a decoration for summer bunting has become so popular that it's springing up all over the place. My next challenge is to make bunting appropriate for all seasons. I can't think of a season where it isn't appropriate so I should be onto a winner.
Here's hoping my friends like the addition to our walls, I've even snook in a couple of wool wraps for good measure.
