Hi everyone! Happy New Year to you all and thanks for all your support since my blog has been up and running!
Just one last post showing a couple of other gifts I made as part of Christmas presents for family. The top one is a watercolour painting I did for my Dad. I'm just at the end of a watercolour painting class called "Houses and gardens" and this is the last painting I did. I'm quite pleased with it as I think the perspective came out quite well. If you're interested in seeing any of my other watercolours, you can check them out on my gallery on the side bar.
This was a little stocking filler for my Aunt. I made a little felt wallet and filled it with notelets. I can't sew to save my life- I had trouble sewing on the buttons!!- so I mainly used Bondaweb to seal the whole thing together which is a life saver for someone like me!
So here is one of the notelets. The image on the notelet is actually a watercolour painting I did of a Hibiscus which I gave to my Aunt last Christmas! (see my Painting gallery). I simply resized it and printed it out on little notelets. I think it makes quite a sweet little gift.
Finally I must just say thanks to Maddie as I won her fab blog candy earrings and she also sent me a little Calvin! How cute is that?
