Alas, Christmas is finally packed away and the res Alas, Christmas is finally packed away and the rest of January must be braved without twinkle lights. Lady Grey is brewing in my new favorite cup (thank you, Robyn!) and I’m finishing up edits on the Cap & Gown pattern. As soon as that has cleared my desk I need to jump on my #twelvedaysin12months Partridge & Pear and see how Lydia’s color palette is going to sort itself out. Fingers crossed. I’m sure enjoying your makes for the Twelve Days and #merryhumbugchallenge! Thanks for tagging me. Happy sewing! (If you see something in the basket that is intriguing, go to mmmcrafts.com and you'll see links to read more about them in the latest blog post.)

INTRODUCING the new Abigail Medley Palette at @ben INTRODUCING the new Abigail Medley Palette at @benziedesign ! Yay! This is the felt palette I used for my beloved daughter's #twelvedaysin12months set in 2025. It's a combination of 100% wools and blends. One palette purchase covers all the felt you need to make all fifteen ornaments in the set. MANY thanks to Benzie for putting this together! There's an option included to add the matching flosses too. (Note: You will need additional flosses for the decorative embroidery.) 

Bit different this time, it's available on their .com instead of their Etsy shop. It will soon appear in their Etsy shop also and will be available at BOTH!
