Quick Catch Up

Hello my lovelies. I hope that you are well. Sorry for the lack of posts, we have all been rather poorly. Various viruses and colds have bombarded us all over the past few weeks. Not great timing with so much to do before Christmas, can you believe that it is now less than a week? Blimey, it comes round quickly. I'm still not ready, various gifts are stuck around the country thanks to that white stuff so I have no idea if they will arrive on time. Are you all ready? I hope so.

Anyway whilst I have been laid up on the sofa I have been able to do a wee bit of crochet. I finally managed to get round to making a new cushion for the sofa.....

Just simple Granny squares with a white border.

I have also been making lots of mistletoe and mini wreaths to put on gifts. These were for the girls teachers...

The gift tags can be found here....

And finally I managed to finish the handmade present for my friend. She asked for a butterfly picture like one that I made from wallpaper. Due to the fact that she loves to travel I hunted down a vintage AA road map and cut the butterflies from parts of the country that she loves the most.

I only have one decent picture because I wrapped it up before checking that the pictures were ok. This is the only one that isn't blurred.

I also made an extra one that has bunting. This is cut from the part of the map that shows the area around where she lives. I wonder if she will notice?

Well, that's all for today. Hopefully I will get chance to post again before Christmas. If not I would like to wish you all a Truly Lovely Christmas.

Amazing Christmas Tree!

Hello my lovies. Sorry about the lack of blog posts lately, I seem to be in a bit of a fug. I wanted to pop in today to share something that I saw last night on our local news. I am not a knitter but I love many things that are knitted and this is no exception.

The  congregation and community of Saint Johns Church, Meols on the Wirral got together to knit the pieces of this HUGE tree to help raise money for Help For Heroes.

It is fantastic.

Once the tree has been taken down the pieces will be sewn together to make blankets for the homeless so two great causes will be helped by this fab creation. You can go to see it if you are in the area between today and Sunday. For more info clicky here.

I will be back soon with some creativeness of my own. If you are in the UK I hope that you are not snowed in. If you are in the USA I would like to wish you a VERY HAPPY THANKSGIVING.

Angels

Hello my dearies. I hope that you are well?

I don't have any thriftiness to share with you this week because I haven't left the house for over a week! I think I may be becoming a hermit or perhaps I am hibernating. I also have no completed crochet as I am still waiting for new wool to arrive so that things can be finished. 

I would however like to share a different project that I have been working on. In our house we have a bit of soft spot for angels, after all that is our surname. We like to believe that the angels take care of those that are no longer with us. It helps us to cope. 

So in honour of my two little angels (ha ha!) I made them some Christmas angels, complete with bobble hats so that they can keep warm as the temperatures drop. 

As you can see one has blonde hair and the other brown, just like my little ones. They haven't seen them yet so I hope they will like them.
