Just a little update to say that these are still definitely in the pipeline. I hope to have the first saleable Christmas pudding coin/token packs up on Etsy early next week - fingers and toes crossed!

Today the fabrics I ordered from the Fat Quarter Shop arrived - and they are as lovely as I’d hoped! The Christmas baubles fabric is different to what I had expected - I had thought the baubles would be bigger - but this is a good thing as I was worried they’d be too large for the little boxes I’ll be putting the tokens into.

The other bright pink fabric is for … well, I don’t know! I might use it for wrapping pieces if I send out samples of my work. I just couldn’t resist it! I confess that I’m a sucker for lovely fabrics, even though I can’t sew to save myself and don’t really have the time or inclination to learn properly (I have isssssues with sewing!).

Over the next few days I will be cutting up the Christmas fabric to the right size for wrapping things up, plus I’ll be printing out the Christmas pudding and brandy sauce recipes along with instructions for care and use of the tokens and will be doing an etch of a few sets of the actual tokens themselves.

So keep your eyes peeled - by Monday or Tuesday next week I hope you’ll have pretty Christmas tokens to look at (and buy!) in my Etsy jewellery shop. Of course I will also let you know via Make Me, otherwise known as this very blog.
