Some finishes for May...

I have been busy this month. I have actually got some things finished....
My Wool felt elf from a Debbie Busby workshop.

My little wool felt ELF

My felt toy.. When we were told to make a felt toy I struggled with what to do.. I don't do the normal thing. I like unexpected strange or different items... I haven't the need for a toy but I know that's what I'll get. I can pass it on to the grandkids. Now I have boys and girls... For me to enjoy what I make it needs to be different.
I hope it was liked...

Rabbit Stew

He's just hanging there

You can see the veggies

A skinned rabbit

The top of the Carrot, onion and herb pouch

If you want the pattern it is in HANDMADE  Vol  21.. No 11
Pattern by Helen Woods

Finally a FINISH

With what I have been going through lately. Being sick, stressed, sore foot, bad sore throat and dreaded cold . Then of course, dealing with my husbands health. It's any wonder after my last 4 years that I have fallen apart and lost the plot for a while.... Anyway, who wants to listen to me feeling sorry for myself...
Onto the good stuff.... I FINALLY HAVE A FINISH.....

 I think Xavier is happy. He wanted his quilt on his bed straight away when he got home.

All tucked into bed... Look at that smile

Slow Sunday Stitching

All I managed to get done today was to finish these Xmas decorations....

I am linking up with Kathy

http://kathysquilts.blogspot.com.au/2015/11/slow-sunday-stitching_15.html

I have already started handing out the Xmas gifts to group members and friends.

Xmas isn't very far away and our groups are starting to break up for the year.

6 finishes for OPAM

What have I been doing

I have had a great quiet week at home. So one day I cleaned out my wardrobe. I filled the rubbish bin too. Why do we hold on to things that ar old, torn, stained and don't fit?  I don't know!!!!

I also spent 2 days outside weeding, digging out stumps, having a bonfire before the restrictions came in and just a general clean up.

Now for something fun

Catching up on some finishes. Getting things out of the cupboard and stitching.

So here I have 24 finishes for OPAM......

 Put them in with a dishcloth and my little gifts for those unexpected moments are ready.

Now to finish these decorations.

I have my parcel wrapped for tomorrow's friendly group at Gisborne...

It's a mini Xmas Swap...

What will I get....

This is the last AUSSIE HERO QUILT I will be doing this year.

Here is another SCRAPPY SPIDERWEB quilt.

I have had so much fun using up some scraps that I am going to do a different design now for a change.

The request was for colourful and peacocks..

Adding to binding blitz.
