This will most likely be my last post before christmas, but before I sign off and abandon myself to festive whisky drinking, I thought I would share this with you. I designed this little christmas decoration for my sister who likes to collect unusal tree decorations, and since this little guy is only 3 inches all around I figured he’d be perfect. I like to think of him as being a mondern twist on a very enduring and traditional craft.
Happy Chrimbo everybody, thanks for reading. B.x

Have a Chaffy Christmas!
Find Chaffy, by Jamie Smart, is possibly one of the cutest kids books I’ve ever seen. Chaffies are tiny little fluffy creatures who are forever getting lost, and in a very ‘where’s wally?’ kind of way you have to find them amoung the super detailed pages of the books. (Loads of fun for kids to pour over for hours on end spotting the hidden chaffies). They are also adorable. If you are ever lucky enough to find a Chaffy ‘in the wild’, you must photograph him at your current location before helping him on his travels by passing him on to someone you trust. They are intrepid little things.
Over on www.findchaffy.com they are running a ‘draw chaffy a christmas card’ competition, and I was so inspired I wanted to draw a christmassy chaffy using embroidery floss. Too cute! Look at how he turned out! Stitched chaffy makes a rather fetching christmas decoration don’t you think?
Sadly I didn’t win
But I did recieve a personal thank you from Chaffy!! -
