The Mock Turtle

That’s cool wiggle. My mum did the girls a temperate blanket each one year, though based on her temperatures not ours.

The girls made some requests when I said I needed something to do in front of the TV. A snood, boot cuffs and a hat. The latter is only 4-ply so a bit cooler, and that’s for me.

I finally got round to the little pad case I cut out weeks ago.

My mum gave me some fat quarters and my handbag bags needed a refresh - a zipper pouch, straws case and tissue holder.

Then the girls wanted to make something so there’s a fabric corner bookmark and a tote bag for my MIL.

I’ve also replaced an old storage basket with a floppy pot in the bathroom. I only came into the craft room to find my next yarn project.

Have you applied for sewing bee yet Wendy?

I wouldn’t be interested, even if I mastered a few skills gaps!

Here’s a small lolly cushion, because why not? I’ve thankfully found something I can make for a friends’ daughter for next Christmas so have stopped floundering around making nonsense!

You are so talented!

A scarf for me and a phone bag for Elvis.

A couple of dresses I made recently, which I’ve only just got round to hemming.

Both new patterns I wanted to try and whilst I like the green crossover one (it looks nice on and is decent enough neckline wise for work), I got bored of attempting the fancy sleeves of the other one so it’s just a very plain tshirt dress now.

Those are really nice, Wendy! I especially love the one on the right

I've been really busy lately!

There's been a fake cable crocheted pullover for an axolotl, an army of frogs (she wants dozens more), and a jellyfish. Not pictured but will be tomorrow are a trio of spiders and a bat. I've also made some horrible booties that I never want to see again.

Elf wants loads of jellyfish included a big one with a crown.

A trio of spiders - I’m hoping to make a more realistic one soon.

The bat was for Betty’s friend.

The grumpy octopus is flippable and has a happy purple side.

Very cute!

I love the grumpy octopus!

This is the happy side. Tomorrow I need to write one that’s a frog that flips into a mushroom elf on the other.

I love all of them

Thank you

I called in my mum to make this for panda-mad Elvis. She started it Thursday evening and has done it all via photos of the pattern (I was going to hand it over this coming weekend!). I just received a finished pic. :eek:

The original intarsia has glasses on the panda but Elvis didn’t want them, and she chose the colour way.

That's so good. I love the colours.
