Back in England, where I come from, they call these Christmas Puddings. My parents are coming over for Christmas and bringing one with them (you can get them in Canadian stores, but you know things from home always taste better!).
Inspired by Betz White’s online stitch and felt tutorial, I bring you my first felt Christmas pudding, as a giveway. The main pudding is made of felt, but the leaves are made from a wool sweater which I felted myself in the washing machine. I’m a little disappointed in the colour, as it was bright green when it went in, but I love the texture. Cashmere makes the softest felt when you wash it. I know, some people would be horrified that I washed cashmere, but seriously, I paid $1.50 for it at the thrift store. I’m not telling you which one tho’!
To win this giveway, visit my store and leave me a comment telling me which is your favourite item.
Follow my blog for an extra entry.
You have until December 6th.The prize will be shipped by December 12th. Canadian and USA applicants welcome!
Ironman will draw someone’s name out of a hat,christmas stocking or something festive.
Be sure to leave an email or a blog address where I can contact you if you win

Hello, The figgy pudding ornament would be a great gift for my sister – inlaw who is from England. She’s told us about some other English Christmas traditions like ‘crackers’.
I checked out your Etsy store and the Alphabet pillows are adorable.
