There has been a lot of action on my work table - much fun had by all!
Steady on there girls - I mean sewing action......Firstly, here is the little row of Christmas sacks that I made as Ben's advent calendar. He has loved peeping in each one to find a little treat/treasure each day.
Next is my trickiest project for a while.
I made two of these little puffy/quilty mats for Ben and was asked to make one for the latest addition to his playmate group - a tiny little girl who lives on a farm and I am sure will have fun with this one.
And finally....
A little bit of teeny tiny knitting for the same little one.
You can see by comparing it to my pattern just how tiny she is.
I am probably going to make a few cosy sleep suits for Ben with the pattern after Christmas.
So that's me for this week.
Hopefully I will squeeze in a few minutes blog hopping to see what you have been up to. I have been useless at getting round the desks for while and I am really sorry.
Have a good week.

Hi Jo, love the twist on the Advent calendar. Gorgeous idea. And those tiny baby clothes! Reminds me of when my youngest was born- at 25 weeks 6 days! Weighed 2 lbs and half an ounce! The hospital had a supply of knitted dolls clothes for them, as even the tiniest newborn stuff was far too big. Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz #5 xxx
ReplyDeleteI'm in awe and inspired by how much you have accomplished! Love the puffy quilt the the little advent sacks!

Oh, we know ALL about you and your on-desk action....the quiet ones are the worst :-D. Lots of lovely things to peek at today, that advent calendar is gorgeous, I bet Ben has been thrilled with that! I hope that Tilly's stuff has been flying off the shelves too!

Fabulous advent calender - such a good idea as you can put all sorts of treats in the pockets, not just chocolates! Clever quilting - I've seen that puffy stuff before but still haven't a clue how it's done - it looks very tricky and impressive though! I love the little jackets - I thought the red one was for a doll, so she must be teeny tiny!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great week,

That puffy quilt looks so cozy! Truly a treasure to be kept forever! Thanks for sharing! Lindart #35
ReplyDeleteJust popped over to ask if Annie is OK as she hasn't posted her Friday Smile and I know it's No 200. Hope nothing is amiss there.

By for now Jo x
