Winter:

Our fun starts here, and anticipation builds. Winter and ultimately Christmas is the crescendo of our year. No holds barred with buttons, beads, glittery festive loveliness, and no Barefoot in Norfolk winter is complete without Advent Calendars, Angels, Fairies, Gingerbread Men and Stars. Then in the gloom of February we are waiting with Hearts for Valentines.

Our Wonky Patchwork Christmas Trees are not truly wonky, but the name allows for the slight curvature the patchwork sometimes gives them. Shoebox Angels get their name because that's what we store them in!

'Pig, No Wings! What kind of Christmas pig has no wings, poor thing!' I Have just found this written by Mr P while I went to make a cuppa, so perhaps I will have to think about wings in the future. In the meantime this is Crackling Rosie a Pomander Piggy, scented and dressed with holly for Christmas, she also has a little heart charm attached to her ribbon. Rosie is articulated with button and thread so her height is variable but stood up she is 160 mm/6.5 inches x 250 mm almost 10 inches long including her little curly wurly tail. My own pattern/design and although I will make more piggies in the future none will ever be identical and accordingly prices will vary slightly depending on materials and embellishments used (£15 to £18) Plus P&P

Crackling Rosie is Sold. More sty mates to come soon.
