I wanted a super easy and effective christmas card this year ! So I designed this reindeer and have made a super cute pom pom! This is the Download, if you want you have have ago …
Christmas Advent Bunting ... One on my closest friends can't eat dairy so finding an advent calendar can sometimes be a bit tough ! So that gave me the idea to create this advent bunting !
1m White cotton
1m Christmas Fabric ( I used four long quarters)
Contrasting fabric for number
1m Facing
1/4m Bondaweb
Firstly I iron of facing to the just the christmas fabric before cutting out the triangles.
Next I cut out the following ...
24 x Large Triangle in White Fabric
24 x Large Triangle in Christmas Fabric ( I mixed up four different fabrics )
24 x Small Triangle in White Fabric
24 x Small Triangle in Christmas Fabric ( again I mixed up four different fabrics )
After cut a total of 92 triangle !!! I Iron on Bondaweb to contrasting fabric for the number and drew out 1-24 (remembering to draw/ write them back to front ! )
I laid out the number on top of small christmas fabric triangles. Laying out whole calendar sequence so I could make sure I didn't end up with two of the same pattern next to each other.
(If you don't want to cut out your own number paper chase have theres great felt versions.)
Once I was happy with the line up, I ironed they number all in place.
Once I was happy with the line up, I ironed they number all in place.
Next I stitched around the numbers in a small tight zig zag stitch.
I then stitched the main small triangles to the white small triangles along just the top, to make to pockets of the advent calendar and open out to pressed.
Next I sandwich and stitch the pocket between the a large christmas fabric triangle and large white triangle. Repleting this with every triangle
Finally I attached the bias binding along the top. 
After waking up this morning to pouring rain ! I thought I would upload a little photo post about the lovely weekend I have at the Bristol Balloon Fiesta and reminisce about the gorgeous sunshine and Pimms ! The Fiesta based at the beautiful Ashton Court Estate and we headed up Saturday afternoon and found a spot to watch the Mass Hot Air Balloon Launch and the Nightglow.

Recently I have experimenting with different meals and food ! I love pizza but sometimes it a little to filling … so wrap pizza ! So its such a cheat and quicker … Also its a great way to use up whats in your fridge. ( It taste better that it looks)
My Choice .....
- Wraps
- Pesto
- Peppers
- Caramelised Red Onion ( Adds a great sweet burst)
- Tomatoes
- Cooked Chicken
- Cheese (Mini mozzarella Ball work best)
- Sun Dried Tomatoes
Spread the Pesto onto the wrap and add your toping a as much or little as you like! Finishing with the cheese and bake on 180°C for 5min … Then your ready to eat !
