Fo Friday #7

So I have been having a few ideas recently, one of which I would like to share with you. I love, LOVE Christmas, its my favourite time of year, everything about it makes me happy! So I wanted to do something on my blog to mark this amazing time of year. I know I'm early but I like to be prepared. Recently I have also been taking part in different swaps and events (giveaways) were you get something nice in the post. So I have been thinking that I would like to do something on my blog and when better than at Christmas.
So this week I have been working on these
What do you think? I came up with the pattern myself, its not perfect but I think they look ok.

So my idea is that I would like to send everyone a Christmas card with one of these cute knitted Christmas trees on them! I thought I would set up a linky and if you wanted to receive one you would add your name to the link, then you would email me to give me your address and then I would send you a Christmas card. It would be wonderful to send them all over the world and if you would like to send me one back that would also be great! So just now I would like to know what you think, would you like a Christmas card from me, do you like the trees, do you think I'm crazy?!!

Well I'm off to check out Tami's blog and see other Fo's!

    They're fab, I love them! And I don't think you're crazy at all, but ask me Christmas things later, I can't deal with it in September *laughs*

    I like to knit ornaments for my Christmas Tree. Would putting knitted Christmas trees on my Christmas tree be overkill, I wonder?

    I had to smile when I saw your trees. They are so cute and make me wish that Christmas was closer. I love the idea of swapping little handmade ornaments and cards for the holidays. Count me in!

    The trees are fab - love your idea too.

    How fab would those trees look with little beads or buttons on them too? (I know, I'm creating work!)

    It seems Christmas is getting a lot of attention in the craft world just now!

    It's so great - it's getting festive already. So much excitement.

    I agree with Wendy, you should totally decorate with bead - oh then make into a garland.

    It's ok for you to tell me to shut up by the way lol.

    I think you ARE crazy. I do things like this every so often and live to regret it (about right in the middle of trying to finish). Do NOT send me a card - you have enough to do already - but the trees are adorable, and you have a sweet heart.
