Wow that’s lovely !!
Lovely! They will make such lovely personal gifts. I’ve rather abandoned my little embroidery after a decent start. Story of my life too easily distracted by other projects.
They are beautiful!
I know what you mean ! I am quite liking doing a bit of embroidery but what do you do with it when it’s finished ?

I’m just finishing up my elf legs ready for our Christmas wreath for the front door 
I am also making this cushion for MIL for Christmas - which Christmas is uncertain at the moment

Quite a few people in my groups have a wall in their house and display them, I think they can look really effective when they are different shapes and sizes and subjects. Not so easy with limited wall space in the van though
I confess I have umpteen finished cross stitch pieces I love but are crumpled up in a bag somewhere because I don’t know what to do with them.
That’s a representation of what it will look like I hope. Although my colours will be slightly different. She loves her garden and has a little conservatory with chairs so I hope she’ll like it for there.
I hope you share the finished cushion Ven as that looks so special as a gift .

I will do, it will probably be quite near Christmas though
I would have been very happy if I produced them first time I tried!

Ven that cushion is gorgeous.
My Mum is getting a new chair (rise and recline) to be delivered in January we think. I'd love to make her a set of cushions in a similar theme as the cushions she has are in even worse condition than her existing chairs...... What a job we had to get her to order one new chair - Martin ended up threatening to pay for it himself but it would have to be in teal to match our chairs and would need her will changing to make sure it remained our property!!!!!! She ordered chestnut.

There’s so many lovely cushion patterns to buy. This one is not too difficult but lots of little fiddly bits to make.
Make sure you make your mums ones in the right colours

Mum's carpet is straight from the 1980s. There are so many colours you could spread pizza over it and no one would notice.There’s so many lovely cushion patterns to buy. This one is not too difficult but lots of little fiddly bits to make.

That is gorgeous too. The thing I dislike most is the main cushion cover piece, 9 balls of yarn and very boring

I still have "Under the Sea" to finish and someone asked me to make Harry Potter plus broom (gave me the kit to do it) and I also have another blanket part made but I have no enthusiasm for anything at the moment.
I've made a few Christmas cards but nothing extraordinary.

Moved on to making hot water bottle covers for a couple of special swim friends.

Sounds like you need a {{BIG HUG}} xx
The main cover is just sc repeats, lots of little elements with a 2.5mm hook though if it’s the same as the one I’m doing x

I sometimes do that , maybe it’s just not what you need to be doing at the moment ? Best to wait until your making mojo returns

Hello everyone
Just thought I’d share a few things I’ve been making lately.
I (foolishly) decided to make all 7 grandsprogs Christmas jumpers. Actually the foolish thing was telling them that’s what I’m doing as now I’m being hounded and some of the parents have decided they also want one
Anyway they look a bit like this. Hoodies with thumb cuffs for the adults and older children - 12, 10 and 9 - and round necked, normal cuffs for the 8, 6, 3 and 2yr olds.
In the evenings I’m doing a CAL of this overlaid mosaic crochet blanket called Wintry Forest as I wanted to learn the technique. Turns out it’s quite simple and effective but I wish I’d known there was a reversible method as I’d have done that. Hey ho. Next time.
Christmas pants as requested by the 3yr old
I’ve also got a pile of cut out cushion covers and ties (they took ages!!) waiting for the cushion pads and zips to arrive to make seat pads for the kitchen chairs.
And I just received a Cricut as an early Christmas present so I’m a bit busy at the moment!
Hope everyone is ok X

Offagain That's an impressive collection even without the adults. I couldn't make out the last picture - it looked like deep frozen runner beans. Lucky children.
I am still spending too much time organising and reorganising my work room, starting things and then abandoning them because something more pressing comes along. I have finished a Wonky Houses quilt and a Christmas table runner - all as a result of joining a new Quilters Group. Another example of things pushing themselves to the top of the list. I'll take a photo later.

It’s a pile of cut out cushion covers with the ties to attach to them (which are probably what you think look like runner beans!) as they’re going to be seat pads for my kitchen chairs.
The cushions and zips should arrive tomorrow at which point I’ll finish them and apply to said chairs.
Blimey you really are making me look slack! Lucky family, look forward to the picture of everyone wearing them. Are you both going to have one too?Hello everyone
