Christmas in July

Yeah what a lovely swap this was, thank you Cheryll for hosting this.

My gorgeous gifts came too me from Maria

beautiful Reindeer table mat & tiniest hexagon decoration with Santa in the middle..oh and the beautiful little bowl (was a lovely extra item )

I squealed when I opened this one as I did not own a bunting till that very moment..it is gorgeous and has all different Holly fabrics..thank you again Maria I love them all..

These are the  gifts I made and sent to Lynda ..they all arrived safe and sound all though Lynda did say the reindeer was gasping for air when she unwrapped him..

table mat made out of different fabrics that had Holly on them, gorgeous  Reindeer (Melly&Me pattern) and a Tree shaped oven mitt..

Hello

I have been working on secret projects so no photos…my arms have been giving me honk so I have had to pop away my embroidery for  a while..am making myself use the sewing machine as I know I will go into a no mojo slump if I just sit…

I have joined Michele Foster in the Aiming for Accuracy Quilt Along, initially I was going to use yellow/grey/black/white but decided to safe them for a bigger project later on.my fabrics are pink batiks and black homespun..it is eye popping seeing all the different fabrics of the same blocks.

 

Click the picture and come have a look it is a good learning curve.

Cheers for now

Cortisone Injection

My left elbow (which is the good one) has been giving me honk lately, well after taking 3 script painkillers on wed night and getting no relief I knew it was time for ouchy baawaaaah injection.

So early call to the Dr's had me in there at 10 getting jabbed right into the area-man that hurts like heck-thank goodness I had finished my xmas in July swap and just a wee bit of hand stitching to do for my Let's Celebrate Swap partners birthday item/s..

Oh I did manage to finish another item this week and I have to say knitting this odd obscure way  nearly did my head in....I resorted to watching a couple of You Tube clips as I kept thinking I had it wrong...not sure if I will do anymore LOL'

Whilst I was knitting this hubby kept saying I cannot see how you can get a scarf out of that it look like something the cat has had a ball with .. he was shocked at the end...

Cheers Vickie Thanks for dropping in.
