day 4 of 12: piece-d at Christmas

 hey hey

happy happy christmas

has been a long day for me today

great day at the market

the little covered note books were a real hit!!!

yay

friends & kids around

then an early tea with the O/S family

great times

got to enJOY that journey remember

thought i'd show you a few little favourites of mine

that have hung on our christmas tree for a while now

above: really mini log cabin pillow decoration

in total they measure about 1.5 inches square

will make some more like these one of these years!!

 little patchwork pieced tree pillow ornaments

this one is about 2 x 4 inches

is basically a grouping of flying geese triangles

here we go

this one is interesting

i only ever made 2 of these stars

& should dig out the pattern again

(yes shock horror i used a pattern! do you believe that Sam??)

um .... the star is 

as you can see a little wonky 

but i like it like that

somehow the pattern involved the background hexagon being formed 

by folding in the points to the centre of the star 

... confused 

... its hand stitched too ... 

for years i used to add a little handmade decoration 

to all our family members' christmas gifts 

... maybe i'll work on doing this again ...

they may however be crocheted??

piece to you & all mankind

(PS: my apologies for the poor photography 

but in the twilight of the evening that was all i was up for!!)
