It's Christmas in July pt 2

Hi everyone
About a week ago, I blogged a story about a swap that
I joined with Potter and Butler and the theme was...
Christmas in July. the idea was to create a handmade gift
for our assigned partner, and also make another gift as a
random act of kindness to give to someone who we know
but to keep it secret until the gift was sent.
I sent my randome gift just over a week ago and the post
is just below this one.
This time I have made gifts to give to my assigned partner,
who just happens to be a great friend of mine (we were
accidently paired up by Potter and Butler as they did not
realise that we knew each other, so I guess it was just
meant to be that way ) her name is Lianne. I made some
things that Lianne might be able to use for her gorgeous
young daughters this christmas season, so Lianne, i hope
you will like them :o)
Firstly, I went through my stash of bits and pieces and found
some printed fabric panels that I had brought from spotlight
a little while ago, to make some advent calenders...

The pockets are randomly numbered, with flaps that open to
out to reveal a treat that Lianne can put in for them later this year.

The second one...

I also made some treat bags for her to fill with yummy treats
all hand embroided and fully lined. I have mad a Snowman,

I got the pattern from an old copy of 'Handmade' magazine.

The other one, which hopefully looks like a reindeer (my hubby

says its a bear hahaha), I made the pattern myself for, I wanted

it to be simular shaped to the snowman...

I found a little beaded kit to make these 3 little christmas wreath
ornaments for the christmas tree...

and finally I made some peg angels, these were my own design

So now I would just like to say a big thankyou again to

Potter and Butler for hosting the swap, it has been a fantastic

experience and I would love recommend it to everyone out

there in blogland. I hope to join in the fun again some time.

Thanks for stopping by

Happy crafting!
