Bags and bags

Gosh I feel like I have become super handy, all the new skills I have been learning..

First off in an effort to make homemade gifts this year I've been trying different things...here are my trials...
The first on shown in the previous post ...

This is the second with a different filling to help it 'stand'
















The third has a mixture of fillings ....still trying to decide the best finish, but on the whole I'm pretty happy with the results.

This Pic just shows the lining of attempt 3

And now for a stitchy update, here's my most recent finish....

I have used a little creative licence to make it a 'pair' for Rosey

I have joined a Christmas SAL organised by the lovely Hazel of QuietlyStitching  The Sampler Girl - Good Tidings, and am loving it already.

first days stitching ....

 next to 'my' seat I have a few bags of 'things i'm busy with' and as you can see my second blanket is growing slowly.

  Well need to love and leave you, children need dispatching to bed, Darling other needs feeding on his return and i have a wonderful stitchy evening to attend;-)

Ooh before i forget, the kids and I are off on a little holiday to Norfolk to spend some time with friends we've not seen in an age. I'm very excited.

Bye for now

Today I made

Today I made something I've not done before.....am so happy with the result.  I have been wanting to make gifts and now think this is something i will do a few of this year ( if anyone reading this post receives one for christmas - act surprised) ;-)

This was just a quick note...gotta run and get my darlings from school.

It's done

My first crochet project is done and I'm so happy with the result....

Here it is...i think the term is..Ta Dah!

 9 colours, most evenings and I'm going to be COSY this winter

 Attic 24 - is a great inspiration and this is worked off her summer garden throw pattern.

 I loved doing this, so theraputic and am already planning the next one.

Many thanks to my neighbour for all the input.

Unfortunately not very chatty this evening but wanted to share the loveliness.

All my love
