Fibre Friends Christmas Party

Fibre Friends (the knitting/crochet/stitching/crafting group I attend) had their Christmas Party last night.  One of our members suggested we go to a candle making party hosted by Fleur at Bluebell Eco Candles and what an absolutely fabulous night we had!

We began by dressing up in lovely hats and feather boas then got down to the first task of painting designs on our candle glasses.

Here are some of the lovely wax shapes, glitters and paints covering our table!  The wax is soy wax which is non-toxic and environmentally friendly.

We also had a sumptuous feast of sandwiches, scones and a variety of cakes all washed down with tea and coffee.  The three glasses sitting upon the 2nd striped box up are what we're attempting to make.

The glass on the right is my candle filled with the lovely shapes then topped up with hot wax infused with gorgeous Christmassy smelling essential oils.  The one on the left is a candle we all had a hand in making as a present for a friend who was too ill to attend.

Once the wax set we topped our candles with a soft, fluffy wax to look like whipped cream then decorated with glitter and tiny baubles.

This is mine complete within its cellophane wrapper.  I totally forgot to take a picture of it before I wrapped it up!

And finally here is our lovely group of Fibre Friends with our finished whipped "cream" topped fruit trifles, all ready to take home.

Oh and mustn't forget our lovely creations ready for their photo shoot!  :-)
