Twelve Makes Of Christmas 2013

 

This year, we wont be running the usual AIM Advent Calendar, but we do have something a little different and equally wonderful for you....

"The 12 Makes of Christmas"

 

Did you ever wish you could open your Christmas Stocking before the big day? Well, now you can!

 

If you love miniature projects, then you are certainly going to love finding out what is inside each of our Christmas stockings - and you don't have to wait until Christmas Day to open them. On each of the twelve days running up to 25th December, you will be able to unpack one of the virtual miniature stockings to reveal a unique FREE project written by one of our artisan AIM members.

Click on this '12 Makes Of Christmas' link to go to the AIM website and then every day, click on the new stocking for that day to reveal your next free project .....  right up to the 25th December.

We at AIM hope you'll enjoy our Christmas gifts and we wish a very merry Christmas to all



New Art Deco Kit Range from Janet Granger

 

 

 New Art Deco carpet kits to make in needlepoint from Janet Granger 

Do you own a twentieth century style, twelfth scale doll's house or love art deco style miniatures?  Yes? Then you'll love AIM Member Janet Granger's newly released Art Deco carpet kit designs.

There are four kits to collect and they are all to be stitched using tent stitch (like half cross stitch) on 18 count canvas. The carpet kits contain plenty of Appletons crewel wool, clear instructions, a suitable needle, and a colour block chart to count the design from.

Chart packs are also available, for those of you who have lots of thread and canvas already, or who would like to stitch the designs in your own choice of colours - these contain black and white symbol charts.

These kits are available from Janet granger at;

The kits start from £15.50. P&P is £1.75 per order if placed by post (cheques to Janet Granger); p&p online depends on the order total (but free over £40)
