Merry Christmas

Dear fellow Elves, thank you for sharing with our group your beautiful and clever creations throughout this year. May your makes be treasured by your loved ones and your Christmas Day be filled with love and laughter.

Sadly this drought gripping our country has robbed me of sewing, crafting and blogging time but I will still be here in 2020 to open the door to our workshop and welcome you in for fun and creativity.

December finish

I made a couple of ornaments but forgot to take a photo of the other before I sent it. Not to worry though as they are both the same. :).

Happy Stitching,

In December

Jolly the Elf came to stay at my house...

Thank You Narelle... for a wonderful year of encouragement.

See you in 2020...

Catching up

I have not managed to keep up with something each month but this month I worked on all three of these ornaments so that I could finish them off and put the box away!  

I did do less stitching than recommended on the pattern - me getting impatient!!

Now it's not that long till Christmas.... scary stuff... it seems we just had the last one!

Keep on going with the Christmas stuff... it's always motivating ...xx

Ornies for October

I made 4 little ornies for my Christmas collection.

Happy Stitching,

ThiS MonTH

I only managed to finish a pair of SMALL items as Christmas gifts in October.
Hair scrunchies for both GD's...
Perhaps by months end I'll have something else done...

September decorations

I realised today was the 25th & I'd not made anything for Christmas. A quick search in my prepped pattern basket & I found some ornies that would be quick to make. The kit came with 3 ornies

Plus a wreath

The ornies can also be hung in the wreath

My ribbons are a little long, the pattern didn't say how long they should be cut.

Happy stitching,

In A Pear Tree

I bought this pattern years ago and i am now so pleased that i got around to making it.
So my finish for September is my In a Pear Tree Wall Hanging,thankyou Narelle for hosting 1 xmas item a month.
cheers Sheryl xx
