Merry Christmas 2022

 

Christmas Ornaments and Tea Towels to Gift

 

I have been remiss in sharing on this blog, but have been creating some Christmas items!  I appreciate finding inexpensive gifts to make in bulk for friends, the staff at my doctors' offices and to have on hand for extra gifts.  

I'll be sharing directly from my blog, if you don't mind!  

A friend sent me a picture of these ornaments by @simplymadebyerin on Instagram.  She generously shared her pattern using a thicker yarn and added greenery to the top of the her lovely ornament.  

I kept mine minimalistic and like the results!  Here is how I made my ornaments.  I used Erin's directions with the exceptions of using the I Love This Yarn Metallic in ivory and a G crochet hook.  As my yarn was thinner, I started with 26 chains, single crocheted in row 1, half double crocheted in rows 2-6, and single crocheted in row 7.  

Though the first skein of yarn makes roughly 17 ornaments.

I wanted to finish stitching up four tea towels for my Golden Girls.  We are a group of teachers/retired teachers who've known each other for at least 20 years.  Thus far, I've finished two and am working on the third.

That's it for now!

Merry Christmas to you all!  Happy New Year!

November Finish--Finally

 I have not had a productive year Christmas-wise.  But I am happy to share a few little finishes.  The candle mats are designs from Oma's Place.  The lace ornaments are from several different designers.

A Handy Gift

 These handtowels were in my stash so out they came, a little machine embroidery (I'm just learning), a little sewing and I have some gifts to tuck away.

Finally, A Christmas Finish!

 Hello There!

I finally have a Christmas finish!  These mug rugs were gifts for Christmas 2021.  I had more kitted and ready to stitch, so I took a few evenings and here they are!

I have sent three red, black, grey and white flannel quilts to my precious LAQ and am looking forward to sharing them with you soon.  

There a Christmas quilt on the binding shelf that is patiently waiting its turn as well.  

Take good care!  

It's February Somewhere

 I know, I'm pushing it but I ran out of days in February.  Here's my finish.

This guy has been waiting for the final touches so now he's early for Christmas 2022.
