having a go

 after succumbing to the zipped pocket last week, i followed up with some autumn leaves for a water bottle pouch and more practise with christmas motifs for later projects 

some of the fabric i'm using is rather thin and i feel that something stiffer would be better for FME, good tension is important as it seems to lead to fewer snarl ups and better control - so more practise 

the project for week 2 is bunting, including a holly wreath and text which i really don't feel ready for - as usual i have gone my own way to some degree by using different motifs

i also made the bunting as individual units, giving the ribbon a loop at one end and a large bead at the other so that they can be buttoned together and added to easily - the beads are large glass ones shaped like wrapped gifts, so they add to the seasonlity as well as weighting the bunting string

i am tempted to keep going and add more - even using bunting as a sort of sampler device .  . . . . . . . . . . ?
