Joy's thoughts and things

Christmas flower

Thoughts: I always remember my mother getting me and my sisters a christmas dress.

When my girls were growing up I did the same.

As a grandma, I enjoy making things for my granddaughters.

This year I am working on some holiday skirts.
and searching for a matching cardigan.

Things: I hope this little poinsettia pin will add the perfect touch.
It is made from white wool felt.

The petals have a small sewn tuck up the center.

Each petal hand sewn on.

The middle is wool, stuffed and gathered to make the center with some modge podge and glitter to give it a sparkly touch.

(2 out of 3 skirts finished,I'll post them soon)
