Happy Holidays

Before it gets busy I thought I would wish everyone a very Merry Christmas & happy new year 🥳

Felt Angel Stocking

I have finally finished my kit, it was started before the new Millennium, when I was visiting by Mum & Dad in Atlanta. Mum took me to Michaels for the first time, being from the UK I had never seen large craft stores on this scale. I got this in their Christmas in July event, again something I hadn’t seen before. I think that is why I remember where & when it arrived in my stash, it’s good to see it finally finished.

Now what next …. something new or something from the stash??🤔

White work samples

Recently I’ve been practicing my white work skills in preparation for my next large piece of embroidery.

Irish Rose Doily

My first make of the year 😃. I thought I would use up some of my crochet cotton stash, I thought it would take up less space as a doily, & make possible presents later on in the year. I’m using Doilies in Colour from Annie’s crochet, a book I had purchased a few years ago, but never got around to making any.

New year craft

This year I made some sew on sequins calendars for some friends for Christmas.

They are quite pretty.

Luna & I wish everyone a happy & prosperous new year.
