Trying another craft from the Stitch Kit 12 Days of Christmas Box. This time, it's a felted tree and as always, I can't resist putting my own spin on things - creating an ombre effect and adding a quick and easy bit of extra sparkle by using pins to attach some sequins from my stash. What a lovely way to spend a wintery afternoon, relaxing in my cosy craft room and making something pretty to en...

Great fun quiz questions. I hope are enjoying your Christmas dinner and not too tiddly and wearing that boob tube 😆. 👏👏👏😎💜💜
In America they were called tube tops.
Missed again!
Merry Christmas Annie and Tom 🎄
Hello Annie, I discovered you just two days ago! I have been working with papers and cardstocks making tags for gifts, cards for Xmas and birthdays for weeks now and I really need a change in my crafting! So here you are with all those different ideas can’t wait to start sewing! By the way, I used to make yoyo clowns in the eighties with one of my sister. I always look at containers, enveloppes and all sorts of things before I recycle them, always seeing the possibilities! Glad I am not alone!
I prefer your ⛄ snowman Annie well done. ✨
Merry Christmas Annie and Tom 🎉
Merry Christmas Annie, Tom and family. Have a lovely day and I hope I can join the live. Sounds like 2025 will be another exciting year for you and I look forward to seeing all your new creations, whatever craft they may be. I'm delving more into needle felting and that will be my focus for the new year, along with returning to my love of bead weaving. Thanks to all that you do for your crafting community and I wish you continued success with your channel and beyond.
Merry Christmas Annie and thank you for all of the work you put in for us. I am looking forward to being a member of your channel in the new year. Your snowman is great😀💕
Thanks for all your vlogs throughout the year. You have inspired me in various ways in my crafting life. Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and your family.❤❤
These are adorable. Happy Holidays
Merry Christmas to you and yours! 🙏👐🎄
Thank you Annie for another fun video. Happy Christmas to you Tom and the family. I am having a cup of tea at 1 am Christmas morning 🙄 I seem to be having a fall asleep about 10 wake up at 1, cup of tea, back to sleep hopefully for the rest of the night weeks. Bloomin internal clock. How wonderful of stitch kits ,looking forward to seeing their various offerings that they send you. So well deserved ,you have done a really thorough job with the boxes already Annie. See you and Tom later today.
Thank you for all you do, Annie. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
Wishing You and Your Beloved Family a Merry/Happy Christmas from the Pacific Northwest of the States…….
These are fabulous Annie. I’ve made a bunch of will post when they’re decorated
Happy Christmas 🎄
Merry Christmas from Canada to you and your family, Annie! You are such a delight. Really looking forward to your crafting adventures in 2025. Have a lovely holiday!
Don’t panic re cataract. I had op last year. Not pleasant but painless and quick and you’ll really be amazed by colours afterwards. Heat mask and gel eye drops good for dry eyes. Enjoyed trying some of your fun projects - thank you. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
I’m so glad you mentioned the cataract thing, it’s obviously a thing opticians do (just dropping in to the conversation). Very scary! I also have high inter ocular pressure, it’s been the same for years! It’s a shame they aren’t a little bit more reassuring. I remember coming home and having a good cry! Much better about it now and especially knowing there are lots of us in the same boat. Love the felted snowman, you’ve become such an expert at that!! Have a fabulous Xmas xxx
A very merry Christmas to you and Tom Annie xx❤
Don't ask how my brain works but.....had idea of making a snowman Beetlejuice with that black wool to make him stripy and some wild eyes Or Robert Smith if you had any red wool lying about for a smudgy mouth I need a break 😵💫
Merry Christmas Annie & Family, hope you all have a wonderful day tomorrow, lots of love Kerry & Family xx Ps / did you get your Christmas card from me , it was posted last week but second class postage, hope it reaches you safe & well xx
Merry Christmas Annie and Tom and family. Santa went past us downunder here about nine hours ago. 🎅🤶🤶 we have a nice fine morning. Hope you all have a fantastic day. 😊
Merry Christmas Annie to you and yours! I too have early cataracts, like you I went into full panic mode! I also have dry eyes, the heat mask does work so worth trying. Im not going to worry too much as the treatment is quick and relatively easy when the time comes, its definitely an age thing sadly!
Me too, sue think it was about four yrs ago might even be longer
Merry Christmas annie Tom and family
Adorable tag💕. Love your tree with the BEAUTIFUL tags! Congrats 👏🏻🎉 on your viewers - you are awesome! Wishing you and your family a very blessed and MERRY CHRISTMAS🎄✝️🥰from the US💕.
Wow, it's gorgeous! Great job!
Hi Annie, I can't believe you still have time to fit in some crafting 😊 love the knicker birdies 🐦 I have been wrapping for days 🤪 I received my prize scrawler box and have painted a mushroom 🍄on fabric to make a project bag for my daughter who crochets, Thank you 🤗 I have been lol at all the comments, some people just aren't meant to be crafters 😂 So my partner brought some boxers, lovely soft pale blue striped, with a bit of stretch too, turned out way too small 🙄 anyhow it was covid times, so I made masks from them had to stop from bursting when his son wanted one too and he said your wearing my pants on your face 😂 Merry Christmas to you, Tom and family and every one here 🎄🎅🥳🌈🤍
The overlapping did give a nice depth
Haha after reading the comments about sorting out our knickers I do hope many of us get new ones for Christmas as we're going to have very empty knicker drawers especially if we made Kooky's sock snowmen as well...good job I don't need socks at the moment as it's thong weather...and not those thongs lol...the flip flop variety 🤣 Merry Christmas everyone🌲🌲🎄🎄
😂
Are you saying "Shi Shi mirrors"? How do they stay on the fabric? Glue?
Since you are embroidering after its closed up, how do you hide the knot? And can you demonstrate and talk through how you make a knot on the thread before you start sewing? I am enjoying your fun, quirky self. We could be friends. Lol
Hi. What are you calling the little scraps in the jar?
Orts 😊
@kimtownsend838 what a strange word....is that a word? Lol
@kimtownsend838 ok...I looked it up. It IS a word! Lol. Thanks.
Thank you Annie! You have such a sweet and fun personality. A while ago, I started making your little bag with the Suffolk puff on the bottom. I still have to finish that. Thank you for showing how to make the hearts and humbugs. I may try to make one for a very generous friend who is coming to town soon. I thought of another idea for the stuffing for the hearts and things - ugly fabrics that we don't like and don't want to use could be cut down.
I love these so much and I already have some great scraps. I will be starting very soon🥰
I have been cutting my old knickers apart (but not the crotch) and saving the big pieces, but didn't know what to do with them... yet. Now I do!
Love the snowman ☃️. Merry Christmas Annie
What a lovely tag and card. Fab work Marian. Thank you for sharing Annie 👏😎💜
Love the snowman tag from lovely Marian, see you for the live Annie on Christmas Day. x 💐
Getting the first little bird turned right side out was like watching him hatch😊. These birds are very cute. I've saved this video to make some to hang on the grocery totes I'm making. Thanks for this video!
Wonderfull snowman ⛄️ ♥️
They are really charming 😊
Happy Xmas beautiful soul!!. Love watching ya!!
Just found you in my feed. Where have you been? Love your knicker birds, and I, for one have no qualms about using my old knicker fabric for crafts. Don't know why people are getting their knickers in a twist about it 😅 - if they're washed and clean its perfectly usable, very pretty fabric. Will deffo be giving it a go x
😂
Adorable birds! You are so pleasant to watch and you make me laugh! New subscriber 💚💚💚
It made me chuckle when you said you were ‘chuffed’ with your little black bird. Here in Cornwall our national bird is a chough which is black with a red beak and legs 😁. I’m going to make a little chough. Thanks for the great idea.
Beeeeautiful ❤
Well, I’m up for making some dangerous little used-panty birdies! I love you Annie! You make me laugh out loud. Going over to my panty drawer right now! ❤❤
