Victorian Sapphire Chocolate

Hello friends

I'm venturing out of my cabin to type this blog post -

pleased to say it's toasty warm in there - 

very efficient heater and all insulated.

I'm on a crafting treadmill right now - I'm not complaining as it is

a fantastic job but wow I've got to make lots and lots of projects.

So now I have your sympathy (!) you will forgive me for

posting a Christmas project?

I thought about renaming it Winter something or other but 

thought I'd better just come clean and say it's Christmas,

especially as it has 'Merry Christmas' across the middle!

Yes, it's a chocolate wrapper - so easy to do.  I've been making

them for quite a few years now.  The chocolate doesn't last that long!

My design uses the Victorian Sapphire dies, I've sliced the red tags

in half to extend the length, layered up more designs and

made squares into diamonds.

And...it would not be a Christmas project if it did not have mini poinsettias.

Really enjoyed reading your comments yesterday,

it seems we are all of a similar mind - not keen on the bustle of sales.

Though saying that...like Patricia I too espied a coat in M&S,

a blue check design.  Tried it, liked it, bought it.

Driving home I wondered if it looked like a travel rug!

I hope you are all having a great weekend.

Take care friends.
