We too are feeling pleased with our crafting here in Edinburgh and have (rather ambitiously) attempted the whole nativity in tweed! Here are a couple of pics of the pieces so far...


The whole thing has gone on display in the shop window on the Royal Mile today and we will post a pic when we manage to take a good one!

We are feeling very pleased with ourselves on the Isle of Skye after making a lovely, tweedy Santa! Reindeer and elves to follow shortly!

ragamuffin loves...Christmas competitions!

Ok, it is now nearing the end of November so we think we can safely mention the dreaded "C" word! Given that the tweed competition in summer was such a success we thought we'd do it all again but with a festive theme so...

* Buy some more of our gorgeous Shetland tweed (once again all proceeds go to charity)

*Make a fabulous CHRISTMAS themed item

*Take a photo of it

*Email it to us: ragamuffin@madasafish.com

*Most creative items win prizes!

We can't wait to see your creations - the competition launches today and last date for entries is Christmas eve. Good luck and happy crafting!
