From Woolworth kit - that's how long I've been hoarding it!
Not quite as pictured...
Coward's way out...
Zig zag border meant too many half stitches!
😑😳🤪

Wee fat Pusheen, eating - and when not eating, no doubt dreaming, of doughnuts 🍩🍩🍩
I can relate to that!
Cross stitch kit, mounted in 3 inch ( circa 8 cm ) hoops.

Some small makes.
🦉 owl and 🐱 cat from Osbourne kiddie book.
( Don't mention the war - sorry, the owl's beak - he is very sensitive.)
And some Christmas makes - two sides of a felt pudding kit, and a cross stitch robin.
The latter is a card kit, but I may use all three on a wall hanging or garland.

Downloaded this pattern from the net some years ago.
Just finished this new one in black.
This is it with a couple of others I made previously
( out of a pair of Val's old knickers - as they NEVER said on Blue Peter ! 😁)
With those I rang the changes with a purl row to give a ribbed effect,
and made a third decrease before ribbing off.

A wee indoor wreath.
Still basically the same origami pattern, but with a larger outside border in black A4 paper just folded.
Inside one of scrapbook papers halved, then folded as before.
Halloweeny motifs to decorate.
Looks a bit squinty but it hangs straight!

Like the Summer door wreaths I did previously this is made using Scrapbooking paper (12 x 12 ")
and construction instructions can be found on craftworld.com (http://craftworld.com)12 Days of Christmas Origami.
Used two of my stash swaps from previous years.
Carolyn- you might recognise the apple fridge magnet!
Using FALL , because it's more economical with my Scabble letters!

Another TV throw in seasonal pumpkin colours.
Well, supposed to be.
What I had in my stash, anyway....
The eyelash yarn border could be redolent of cobwebs?
Maybe? 🤔

Little Hose Softie - a magazine cover gift from Love Patchwork and Quilting.
Had a bit of trouble with the chimney pot.
But then, so did they!

Got a cough.
Ruins my 😴 sleep.
Not up to much, so made these.
Russian doll pincushion, ( bit rough, but I'm not a well girl)
and wee duck tapestry, still to be framed or carded up.

These are them all together.

Think I'm a bit brain dead just now so took it easy with a TV crochet.
Used up remnants of navy, blue, white, purples ( the light purple was called Wisteria)
and finished with a border of blue eyelash.
At least I didn't totally waste my time!

Sorry everyone!
And I'm really going to get off the laptop now before I'm swallowed into the vortex!
CraftWorld site again, and the very most of these are free - but a few only to Premium members
which I'm not until at least November because I made a mess of my card number last year
and couldn't find how to sort it.
This is a long one but i daren't leave out any in case it doesn't work.
Phew!
Dunnit!
Set aside a good half hour of your life then click on it and then on the box which pops up!

Things I was inspired to make from Sarah's prompt and didn't post them here as I maybe should have.
My bad!😣
I have also re-done the seaside bowl in a bigger one.
With a lighthouse fishbowl ornament I bought.
Less might have been more when it came to flotsam and jetsam but I couldn't control myself!
I shall use bottle lights in it.

It has been lying unfinished since the Jurassic Age!
Well, nearly...
From when I did the cushions, from the same kit, which was a while ago now.
Like the snowman I made before, I should have lined it with fleece or something for a smoother finish.
I added a nostril because it actually didn't have one.
A dinosaur's gotta breathe! 🦕 🦖
But it's made, it's soft, and it won't bite the grandweans!
