Almost there with the hampers :dance:

Here are the Christmas cards finally done

The silver thread is Japan thread in #7 which is a medium thickness. It's a really blingy metallic which looks like real wire. Not sure what it would be like to stitch with - it doesn't have much flexibility in it, but then it doesn't seem too prone to unravel either.

This is rhubarb and vanilla mincemeat

And here is the third set of coasters - Mabel's round the clock

:applesauce: How do I get on your Christmas Card list? They are lovely, original and should be so appreciated by your family. The coasters are stunning. And I'm sure the mincemeat is yummy. You are going to be sooooo ready for the holidays! :applesauce:

Found a lot of my ideas and inspiration on Pinterest.
Yes.. Hello my name is Maggie and I cannot stay out of Pinterest.
Hahahahaha! ME TOO! I spend more time pinning than doing what I pin! Anyway, I just thought that was funny. Nice to meet a fellow addict!
