A Little Needlecraft

I have a couple of creations from my husband to share with you today.  For our Christmas table this year, he made a lovely textured red tablecloth and a table runner out of some lovely poinsettia fabric, edged with gold satin.  It really looked the part!  Feel free to admire my beautiful ivory roses too!


He also made a little purse for a friend of mine who spent Christmas Day with us.  She's American, so we included a traditional sixpence as well as a quarter and a dime - a sentiment she really appreciated.


Fortunately Socks didn't take it upon himself to create anything for us like this kitty did:


I'll share a little more Christmas needlecraft with you tomorrow,

    I think your Hubster needs to start his own creative blog....he's very talented and obviously has a good eye for design!

    So there are TWO very talented people in your house! The runner is beautiful & the little purse as well! Your husband is a "keeper" in my book!

    What a talented husband you have and I'm sure Socks is much more creative than the kitty in the photograph.
