I don’t normally start decorating the house until the 6th
of December but in preparation of this I
made a felt Christmas Robbin. This was taught at a Monday craft sampler class in
Central office.
Robins can be linked to Christmas back to the 17 century when the first postal service began. The postmen wore a red uniform and were known as Robin red breasts. Robins
are also more popularly known to be messengers for Santa.
Here’s how I got on…
I have to be honest; this isn't one of my more successful
attempts. My robin turning out more like a turkey or a parrot because of its long beak, I also lost one
of its eyes. But I had so much fun making this and couldn't help covering it in glitter to
add some extra Christmas cheer.

Your robin looks lovely Ann. The fun in the making is as important as the end result. Happy New Year to you your family and friends.
