I don't have a goat finish, but I do have a sheep design that has been made up.

Whilst the sewing machine was out I decided to finish up two more little ornaments.

I had put the final stitches into Let it Snow in the parlour with Barb and the ladies on Wednesday evening so that was ready.

It was getting close to reveal day for the monthly challenge, that was yesterday (Sunday) so wanting to be good and on time that got finished.
There are a few finishes in the gallery this month, all different and very lovely. Well done ladies. This lovely stag chart Christine chose from Luli. You can see Christine's version on her blog.
UFO stitching at the weekend (or as Jo calls it, back to being a WIP as its getting attention each week). Irish Garden had the top left borded filled in with Smyrna stitches around the edge. Can you guess what's going to happen to the other 3 borders?
I managed a trip to the wool shop, such a chore it was too :-) Pink wool purchased and the back is now knitted on Isabelle's aran cardigan (and I've almost completed a sleeve too). More knitting happening this past week than stitching.
I did get round to starting the Spring SAL and putting a few stitches into that, such a lot of charts with seasons on to choose from. I found a lovely set in my stash so still no buying this year of charts for me.
No craftshare work to show you this week as there is something exciting happening there. It's going to be a year old soon and to celebrate there is to be a 'hands on' workshop for the day on Saturday 28th February so we've been organising for that. Anyone in the community can come along and try out different crafts during the day. One lucky person will win a brand new sewing machine in the raffle. The knitting group is going well with another new person coming along last week and I've added 2 more little prem baby hats to my months tally.
Thank you for stopping by, its nice to see you ...
Love and blessings to you all
Happy Anniversary to you and DH :-)

ReplyDeletecute ornaments, Love the Irish Garden. Happy Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary - beautiful work xx
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteLots of lovelies to look at, my favorite was the first, Winter's Eve, that piece is so sweet and I love the coloring (of course it had blues so I'm a bit biased). Irish Garden is looking lovely as well, this has such fun detail in it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finish Julie, the stag looks great and great start on the cardi too
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your craft share thingy! I wish we had something like that here. I recall a quilting guild of sorts but nothing for other crafty excursions.
ReplyDeleteYour knitting is always so beautiful! And a happy anniversary to you and your husband. :D
Happy belated anniversary to you and your husband. I hope you were having a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteGreat ornaments that you have finished. I always love to see different ways of finishing, it's always an inspiration for my own finishing.
Very nice progress on your stitchy and knitting WIPs.
All sooo gorgeous. I am hanging my head in shame..I have so many finishes and very few finished. My sewing machine must feel it has been retired permenantly!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated anniversary to you both!
ReplyDeleteYour ornament finishes are so sweet and I love your challenge finished.
I'm hoping to get more done on my Spring SAL this week :)
