A very ‘Tilda’ Christmas

Thank you for all the lovely feedback on my Christmas home tours.

Now that everything is done, I’m enjoying just kicking back and soaking in the merriment of the season.

I’ve had a few enquiries about some of the handmade items featured in my home this Christmas, so have dedicated this post specifically to that.

Most of the questions have centered around the Tilda products and I guess this is because Tilda is not distributed in the US yet and is still widely unknown there.

My cute little reindeer that was shown in my wooden box is a Tilda design.

It is actually an angel reindeer, but I made it a little more rustic by not using the wings and adding a rusty bell.

Mine is a different colour because I used some linen I already had in my stash, instead of the darker Tilda linen.

 

 

It’s from the latest book ‘Homemade & Happy’. If you are a Tilda fan, I highly recommend this book. The translation to English is far better than in previous books.

I’m often asked why I don’t sell the Tilda books on my website… the truth is, I can’t sell them as cheaply as you can buy them on Book Depository, plus, they have free postage.

Here’s the link for this book – Homemade & Happy 

It’s marked at 34% off right now!

 

 

Some of you also spied the large Tilda Angel hanging on my ladder.

I made her a few years ago and get her out each Christmas. She is 80 cm high (32 inch) and is always a feature no matter where I put her.

 

 

The large angel and a variety of other dolls are from the book Sew Pretty Christmas Homestyle. This was one of the first Tilda books I purchased and I think I’ve made nearly every item in there. It’s a beautiful book for crafters.

 

 

This book is currently out of stock at Book Depository, but is definitely one to put on your wish list for when it is back in stock. Here’s the link – Sew Pretty Christmas Homestyle.

 

 

The polar bears are from last years Christmas book, Tilda’s Winter Delights.

The colours were more muted for this book in lovely greys and mauves. The dolls in knitted jumpers were adorable and very popular too.

 

 

 

Here’s the link for the Winter Delights book.

Currently 16% off.

 

 

I’m looking forward to a short break over the holiday period, so I can spend time with my children. I’ll be closing my web-store from Monday 15th December until the New Year. I’ll also be doing some website remodeling during that time.

I’ll still be here on my blog each week and have many more fun projects to share with you in Simply Christmas.

Merry Christmas,

Kerryanne
