Scattered...

that's where I am right now.

Anyone for vegetables?

Nice new fabric for making a special present. My local Spotty came to the rescue on this one, the bigger better store over the other way didn't have this fabric! As I was there on the Christmas shopping night I got  a good deal too.

A little peace in my weekend.

(Another of the tag designs from Vivian Robinson published in Homespun No38, Vol 7 No6)

I sat on the beach Saturday and stitched this in the sunshine - Perfect.

A little hooky bowl loosely based on a pattern found here.

(excuse the loose thread in the photo - too lazy to take another one now it is finished)

Perfect size for sweets or threads or maybe little Christmas baubles.

This worked up very quickly and I think there will be some more appearing soon.

Now I need to get some serious tidying happening as the Agent has decided after more than 8 years it is time to do an inspection! Honestly he could have waited until after Christmas surely?

Sure hope there was sunshine in your creative space this weekend.

Changing Needles

I gave the knitting needles a couple of days rest and started a little Christmas stitching.

First up a stocking...

it's almost a sock!

Then some little tags.

Both of these are taken from designs by Vivian Robinson, published in Australian Homespun No38 Vol7 No6.

The hook got a little workout too,

a Christmas tree and a star.

Patterns found here. 

Pretty yarn gifted by a fellow crafter - thanks Mel.

At least that was productive.

 Then I made a big mess of trying to wind this yarn from a skein.

The yarn came from the op-shop and is quite old, there is a lot of it but fortunately for me it is tied in small skeins so I won't get completely tangled.

Happy creating/

Flittering...

around - is what I've been doing this weekend.

The sock is having a short vacation while I await more yarn to complete it.

So I decided to do a little stitching...

Rudolph is by Vivian Robinson and appeared in Homespun No38 Vol7 No6.

Daisies for an angel.

Organising backing for the pinwheel quilt top that has been patiently waiting for the past four months.

Playing with some pretty blues,

and making stars.

I have enjoyed playing with fabric and threads all weekend.

These little bits mean that I may get something finished in the next week.

Hope your weekend was a happy one.
