Just a few bits to show and tell

I am not sure what is going on at the moment, but I can't seem to settle into my crafts so I am just flitting from one thing to another.

I bought some yarn at the 'Knit and Stitch' show back in October,  so I thought I would have a go at making one of  these .  I have to say the yarn is so expensive I choose a different yarn but am happy with the result.  I chose to make Donna ( I know my daughter would love him/her) and for the most part it was very easy,  then I got to the Antlers....Phew! I don't mind working on small bits, but to go around in a circle on only 3 stitches was a bit much. Still it all turned out in the end.

Too cute for words !
I had a birthday at the beginning of the month, and a friend bought me a cute kit from manfieldcrafts  This shop is not too far from where I live but to my shame I have to say I have never been to visit, so the gift was a big surprise.  I sat one evening and my knitting grew very quickly 

The photo was taken at night, so not good colour

I  soon had made the first woolly jumper for my ewe,

Watching the sun set


Watching the sun rise

and now for the lamb

So smart in their woolly jumpers 

and after about a year I have finally finished my Tilda sewing angel.......well, she is not quite finished because I forgot she needed her wings,  Oh well, that's a job for another day

Waiting for her wings 

I wonder what next week will bring.....maybe a bit more sewing....
