BRUPBRUP LOVES TO LIE ON PLASTIC BAGS...

Cute...

Almost managed to do all the holiday washing but with Phil having an accident badly cut hand d 6 stitches and a week at home with me, a great day out with a new crochet loving friend and watching a couple of great films plus a visit to Phil's twin sister the crochet has taken a back seat for once.

 A couple of samples but the light is so bad at the moment pictures are not looking so great

Knitting and Stitching show day out tomorrow... a long day but hoping to manage a few rows of the moss stitch blanket on the 7 hour journey there and back.

Hugs to All xx

ONE OF MY HELPERS...Lettuce

Lettuce decided I need some help with the Shell stitch cushion...

have a fun filled Sunday everyone x

SHELL STITCH CUSHION FINISHED..2 DOWN ONE TO GO

Oooops I was woken up at 4.15 this morning but fell asleep again about 9ish and didn't wake up until 12, but managed to finish the 2nd Shell stitch cushion by about 4 this afternoon.

The motif bag in the collage, that isn't quite finished would make a great cushion too, don't you think?

Can't finish the second straight Moss stitch as I have run out of one of the most important colours. 

So a cone of cashmerino and a James C Brett marble are about to become something.

Have Fun x

STRING PEG POTS...

Forgot to show you these, a friend ask if I would make her a peg bag a few weeks back, so I made a couple one for her and one for myself in soft cotton string, £1 for 4 balls, and i think it took a couple to make a pot.

 bargain don't you think? 

The shell one is mine and the flower one was for Fiona, she liked it that much is keeping it as a bag for her and now I have another one to make hehe

have fun, shell stitch cushion is calling me today. x

RED CROSS CHARITY CHRISTMAS FAYRE....

First Christmas fayre of the year this morning and I bought two wonderful gifts for someone.

A beautiful purple scent bottle

and....

A FABULOUS pair of striped handmade socks for the silly price of dare I say £3.50...

What a wonderful pressie they will make for someone...

Aren't they gorgeous?

Cushion progress not good...

The Moss stitch cushions aren't getting the attention they need right now. Lots of new stitch samples to play with lol.

I will finish them and then make a patchwork cushion of all the samples too...

I think it will work alongside the others

Simple shell stitch and an easy ripple cushion to go with the moss stitch plus the patch work.

Still looking for the right buttons for the new Cashmere Cowl?

Have fun x
