We are celebrating over at Made in Home

Things didn't go to plan at Charm About You

How did precious inspire you? 

In (desperate) need for inspiration | PRECIOUS

I was very organised last month, this month not so much. I have three potential projects for 'precious' but have started none of them. And I am now thinking none of these projects can actually be made on time. This has nothing to do with the theme - and everything to do with me not being able to sit down and actually make it. 

Anyway, instead of making something for this theme, I decided to spend some time on Pinterest and see what came up if one typed precious... 

Yep, it nearly made me cry it was so cute!

I think I will be most likely to make something for Baby MiH this time round - and you can find my knitting list here, and they may be something from there that will appear next week..  

I have also a thing for metallic thread... And this pillow is quite inspiring - sashiko in metallic thread... 

Or these tutorials could bring even more inspiration..

Or these precious stars...

Precious fabric inspiration

How are you all getting on with your precious makes? With the holiday season drawing close I'm sure you must be working on something that will fit the theme but if you're struggling here's some fabric inspiration to get you thinking...

Diamonds in the rough

other gemstones - emerald, ruby, sapphire

precious metals - Sayomi Cypress and gold, Winter Wishes, Mirror Ball Dots

Precious in Pink Quilt Kit

something dear to your heart

precious treasure (ok this is getting tenuous but I was going for the gifts the three kings bring - plus any excuse for Peanuts!)

a precious letter - dear Santa perhaps?

Remember to come and show us your precious makes and link up on December 15th for your chance to win a $25 gift certificate to the Fat Quarter Shop!

Next up...

The next theme is PRECIOUS. And this will be the last le challenge for 2013, we give you a month off (the next le challenge will be set on 15th January)

I am thinking gold leaves and chocolate brown (my colour scheme for Christmas decorations)... or something for Baby MiH - he is precious after all and it is his birthday on 14th December (and I have not made anything yet!)

We will see you on the 15th December with your finished projects and your chance to win a $25 gift certificate for the Fat Quarter Shop :)
