I too adore them. Yes the christmas card holder is a favourite though doesnt really show your cards to do them justice. Of course, you love it - its an angel :-)<br />They say to use a ball point needle for oilcloth but I just find a good sharp one is fine as you dont really want ballpoint holes through your oilcloth, If you do make a cushion, it is fine out in the rain for the summer but do bring it in over winter as I have found (from experience) that mildew gets into the backing on the oilcloth fabric & you CANNOT get it out!!!!<br />I am in that space where I want it all (christmas), to be over but I am telling myself off & saying to try to enjoy the process!!! I do this every year. Hugs to you my friend, Julie :-)Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08301647145550214950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802941287301708633.post-60508529713114172852012-12-12T19:07:58.373+13:002012-12-12T19:07:58.373+13:00Hello Betty, thankyou.

Your tree sounds wonderful with all the lights.

Well done on completing so much crafting. Was that a cushion partly made with all the pearl buttons on it? I bought some old gray blanket off cuts the other day to make a cushion for a friend...that red looks really great with it. I adore mother of pearl...anything really! 10 metres is a long & lot of bunting! Love the Father Christmas fabric you used in it. Adorable card holder too. Isn't it so lovely to be able to bring these love things out for a turn. Most definitely the dearest wee reindeer. Ah & another question...what needle would one use to sew oil cloth...very sensible material for an out of doors cushion..just asking should I ever get around to making such a thing! Hope you can relax in your blissfully completed state now : ) Isn't that lovely that so many different people will be receiving gifts this Christmas that you have made so beautifully!

I go for a minimalist look over here - your dear little white reindeer would come home with me if I had half a chance! We brought our tree in from the garden - it lives in a huge pot so took two men to carry and has 200 lights. Hope your orders are all complete and you can now enjoy the lead up to Christmas.
