Christmas Eve

        Merry Christmas to everyone!  These are my lights through my curtains...perty eh!!!
              Made these for my daughter-in-law & my grand-daughter -   I hope they like them!
                       This was my first completed one - flower looks a bit too big.
                                   A scarf for my man, still working on it tonight!!!
                                                  Both for my daughter Jo.
   Pj sets & washing-up hairbands for my lovely daughters. I used the thrifted flannelette I found last summer.
  I embellished the `Joe`t-shirts with an almost matching ribbon from my stash. I love how it all turned out.
                                          Sewing the spiral together to form a rose.
                                                       Without the rose,
                                                   and with the rose.


                                               Scarf for Jo. It`s long.................
                                         Me modelling it -  need to find some huge buttons for it yet.

                            I used Charisma yarn I used with a size 10 mm hook.  Will post my pattern soon.
                                               Some of my baking......yum.   A plate for Santa.
Swedish Candles.

Merry Christmas to all & to all a good night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Christmas Gift Crocheting & Other Stuff

 This is such a cute & easy pattern and it does up pretty fast.  Planning to make a few of these beauties.  Will post the finished products soon.
 Slippers - very easy too. This pair is for me.

My pretty little kitty after she wore herself out helping me sew!
These are some buttons I found at a thrift store - quite old I think but not too pretty.  Orange & black - odd looking.

Thrifted Goodies

Fabulous finds from VV and Sally Ann's. That was a great day! All added to my stash for now.  The brown is an upholstery weight perfect for bag making I think.  Right of that is 5 metres of flannelette, guess I know what all the girls in my fam will be getting for Xmas!  Makes me very happy looking at this pile.  I also picked a bunch of binding & some beautiful burgundy baby Llama wool from Peru.  I got 16 - 50 gram hanks for $8.00.  I bet it easily cost at least that much for each when it was new.  So I'm pretty excited about making a sweater or a shawl with it.  I want to make something I'll love & wear forever.  I get this same trepidation when I get an extra nice fabric - I don't want to be disappointed in the results.  Oh well, anything can be remade I spose.
