I said on yesterday's post that I would be back soon to show you some handmade Christmas goodness. Here is a sneak peek I shared —
I also received this sweet tree hanging from a dear friend —
 |
| Thank you so much :-) |
A few posts back I shared this photo of the lovely ornament made for me in Chooky's SSCS (secret Santa swap). At that stage I wasn't sure who had made it for me.
 |
| Thank you Julie, I love it! |
 |
| I've found the perfect spot for it! |
My dear friend Doniene also sent me a runner - a simply gorgeous log cabin, in totally different shades of blue and reds to Julie's one.
Now don't despair, I am more than happy to have received two special new runners as I have more than two spots in my house that need them :-)
You may be able to see the lovely feather quilting in the blue but I didn't capture it quite as well as I thought I had.
 |
| Again, thank you Doniene, it is simply beautiful :-) |
I started this post showing you what YD gifted me, but I haven't showed you what else she has been working on....the two wee dogs in the family both have new Christmas jerseys!!
ED's wee dog is a 'proper hunting dog' so his jersey is camoflauge green... and the reindeer could loosely be interpreted as a hunter's deer.
 |
| Two lucky little dogs..they were knitted shorter than usual as a nod to our summer Chirstmas. |
 |
| This pic shows the 3-dimensional scarf! |
 |
| Hmmm, my 'group photo shoot' didn't go well! |
See you next time - I hope to squeeze in one more post, showing my makings, before 2016 ends!

ReplyDeleteThat cross stitch panel is superb - what a great choice of design. I love the table runners. The one from Julie is stunning colourwise - my favourite - but I can see enough of the beautiful quilting on the second one to know that it is just as stunning real life. xx
