Needlefelt Cup Cakes for Handmade Monday

Hello, and welcome to another Handmade Monday.  It’s hard to believe that three weeks today we will be wondering what to do to make the turkey leftovers exciting!    I’ve been reading through last December’s posts , and realising how great the whole blog thing is.  If I wasn’t writing this, how would I remember last year’s early snow? Those photos are making me envious of the snow I hear has fallen in the North of England and Scotland over the last couple of days. Can it really be a year since the Mad French Cat came to stay at my Mum’s, to keep us entertained with his funny little ways?  And I was SO organised last year!  Making Christmas cards and Mincemeat, wrapping presents… At the moment my sole piece of preparation is a Christmas Cake in a bag…

Never mind, the time has not been wasted, and I’ve always liked a challenge!

My latest piece of news is the opening of a new shop in a Market town not too far away from where I live which is starting craft courses in the New Year.  I’ll be there with my felting needles among other craft tutors, and you can find out more here.  I’m off there on Thursday to promote the beginners’ class, a Needlefelt Cup Cake Pincushion, which you may have read about here before, but it’s always a good introduction.


And it’s surprising how yummy they look!

So it’s a short post this Handmade Monday, I need to be consulting the gospel according to St Delia for a bit of seasonal advice, and catching up.  Do pay a call over on 1st Unique Gifts where Wendy has made a gathering place for all the Handmade Monday-ers!
