Baby blanket.

I finally finished the baby quilt i was working on. But i'm not sure it should be called a quilt because it is one whole piece of fabric.
I embroidered around parts of the pattern, (which you can't really see on the photo's.) i added some ric rac on the front, and some ribbon on the back.
Also i am glad i was giving this away and i had a dead line to work too, or otherwise i am sure i would of put it in the box and not finished it. I am not 100% happy with the end result, mainly the binding because my hand sewing is still rather shoddy. And looking at it i think i should of gone for a wider binding. Plus there are atleast two wonky lines ;)
But hey i have to start some where and i am still happy with it :) I am just hoping my friend will like it, and she won't spot the mistakes :)

the front.













the back

















All ready and waiting to give to my friend and her little baby girl.

I made a little apron for my niece for Christmas. She is only two, when i made her sister one she wanted to wear it all the time.
I hope it fits her, because because she doesn't live near me, so i can't check until i send it to her.

I also must remember to use the view screen on the camera, my photo's are so bad i seem to leave bits out all the time lol. (i'm secretly hoping tha i can get a new camera with better pixels next year for my birthday) Not that a better camera will make me a btter photographer i probably will always be crap :)

Has anyone bought the first issue of "Sew hip"? I did, and i love it :) There is cute kitty in there i'm going to make once i have finished the rest of my Xmas gifts. There is also a very cute bag pattern which i will use to make my sisters bag for her birthday in Febuary. I can't wait until i can get started on some of the projects in there.

Another Grey rainy, rainy day today. I think i will make scones with Clotted cream and Jam to
remind me of the Summer :)

I haven't done much crafting lately. October was a bad month health wise so i didn't do any crafting at all.
But I hoping November will be a better month, and at least i have completed one thing this month :)
I made this cushion for my Niece for Xmas, i will make another one to match as well.




















This is the back. I love how the gingham ribbon look against the red polka dots :)


















I have also nearly finished my Merry Xmas sign. just the "a" and the "s" to complete.
I also need to make a little pinny for my two year old niece.
And i really want to make my son some Cushions for his room from his old fmaily guy t shirts.

First's

My first little booty for the Merry xmas sign i am making.
My blanket stich is finally getting neater, but still isn't as polished as i would like.
















My first little wall hanging for my kitchen. I think my lettering needs work, but i also think the scruffiness of the writing adds to the appeal ;)


















I have nearly finished my birdhouse cross stitch, i have about an hour of stitching left. It has taken me ages..................It isn't because the design is hard, or even that big, but more of a it has so many colour changes, and thats why it seems to of taken me for ever.
Once this is finished, i'm going to start a kit my husband bought me for my birthday 4 years ago :) lol That i begged for, and which was the most exspensive kit i have ever had, and yet it hasn't been stitched yet. So i will be starting it tomorrow night, i have already sorted out the threads.
