My view today

I wanted to get in the Christmas spirit so donned my handmade Rudolph. He has been smiling up at me all day. Now which Christmas jumper to wear tomorrow ....

Basket lid

This is to go in a bathroom so I made it out of waterproof material with a jolly checked lining. Its got simple jersey for the ties as these should be more robust than ribbon. I thought the blue contrasted with the rust nicely. Its off to its new home soon.

All my handmade Christmas

A little round up of my collection. From over the years, its amazing how they collect up.

On the lap tonight

I'm doing sixty (yes SIXTY) hexies for a solid round on the now huge scrap hexie piece. I'll wait and see if anyone reckonises their old clothes in this blue check. Still don't know what I'll use it for.

Christmas Garland

This is all properly sewn together, only took three years to put all the ingredients together permanently. The binding is old jeans made into bias binding, strips were1 1/2 inches wide. It hangs really well, stiff & bendy.

So many shades of green

but I still didn't have the right one so had to go and buy the one at the top. Done the maths, rods every 12cm, let the sewing commence

Cutting out

and doing the maths, only 2 strips left to do. Next project for the Towers (DD & HP) residence
