Well that week flew by didn't it!

I managed to edge all of Tilly's bookmarks and she has them ready to go on her website.

So this week I have done a bit of sorting and clearing in my sewing room. I bought some boxes to put my knitting yarn in colours in my cupboard. I only bought three just in case it didn't work so now I need to buy two more to finish the job. They are 25 L boxes so you can imagine how much yarn I need to control.🤣

I have been using up some of it with these creme Easter egg covers....

This is the primrose design which is a new one. I thought they would look nice dotted amongst a box of these ...

I am hoping to get out and about a bit more this week. My car was totally frozen up last week.

Below is the bush outside my garage.It is totally frosted over and looked as if it was covered in blossom. Thankfully, it's back to its usual evergreen this week.

Well that's me for this week.

Have a good week.

Well here we are again, sharing our crafty desks into 2025. Thanks to Sarah for linking us all up on her Sarah's Craft Shed blog. Do join in if you want to meet a few crafty folks who like to share their crafty activity.

This is my work table loaded with Tilly's latest bookmarks. I love the Starry night ones- the new range 😃 I think I have about 40 to edge in toning colours so that will keep me quiet for a day or two.

Below are the latest fluff rainbows 🌈 They are all ready to put into bags for her Shropshire Hills workshop.

And lastly....

I knitted two little jumpers for my God daughter and her sister.

I love the little lacey panels but it certainly took a bit of concentration!

So that's me for this week.

I hope you are managing to keep cosy and the weather hasn't been too problematic for you.

WOYWW -Happy New Year 2025

 Good morning blog friends and a Happy and Healthy New Year to you all.

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas.

Ours was quiet and hubby had a virus so it wasn't the best. He's fine now, thankfully.

Look what I found blooming in my garden this week....

My friend gave me winter flowering Clematis. 

For several years it did nothing but now it sends out these delicate little blooms every winter. It's the most beautiful little flower and really made my day when I spotted them.

Of course, there is no rest for the wicked.🤣

Tilly left these for me to edge ready to re stock her shops in the New Year.

I love the colour combos.

Which is your favourite?

So that's me for this week.

Looking forward to visiting you all each week in 2025.

WOYWW Happy Christmas 🎄⭐🎅

 

Happy Christmas to everyone who has the time to pop in here today! I hope you all have a peaceful few days and enjoy yourselves whatever you are up to.

We are blessed to be able to share our festive season with close family and friends but, should  you happen to be alone this Christmas, we will be thinking of you and sending you a big WOYWW hug.

I thought I'd share this weird little happening with you....

  

From my kitchen window, across the roof tops, I noticed this on a spindly old fir tree .

It made me chuckle - a rather weird fairy to put on the top of the tree!! 

It is, of course, a heron on the look out for a meal or maybe resting on the way to the pond. It was there for ages. I love to see the birds in my garden🤣🤣

All the best everyone!

See you next week for New Year's Day!

 Welcome to everyone popping in to see what I have been busy with this week.

I have been finishing a few jobs and clearing the decks ready for Christmas.

These are the little Friendship hearts that I knitted for our hospital. I bagged them up in pairs and a lovely lady collected them from me.

Then I finished off a couple of denim book covers. I used some embroidery from faded vintage linens. 

My latest project was to knit a few little chocolate covers for our little ones this year...

A little fairy mouse.

Mother and baby penguins.

And last but not least...

A Mcfelty chocolate orange cover for Till Tea Dance 

It's just a reminder of the fab felted picture that she made and Catriona kindly purchased.

I think it will raise a smile don't you?

I hope you are also enjoy the build up to Christmas. Make it low key and don't stress about it.

Have a lovely time.
