25th Anniversary

Made Hubby a 25th anniversary card. We both loved the fact our vows promised to Cherish, so that had to be part of the card.

25th

I think I started this kit for our10th wedding anniversary… finally finished just in time for our 25th! 
  

Return of the Rat

So sadly the pet rat that Santa Rat was moddeled on passed away… and poor Santa Rat got so many cuddles that one of his eyes fell out- so he’s been back for a visit this week for new eyes and of course a new jumper too.

 

Out In Public Hat

So hubby loves the 1898 hats I made for him, but they do make him look a bit ‘peculiar’. I was horrified to find him in wearing them in full view of the street, so had to design something new… hence the ‘Out In Public Hat’ was born. double thickness brim to keep those ears snug and single thickness crown to prevent the brain overheating.  needless to say both versions already covered in oil and bits of swarf from the lathe. Although I love the way fisherman’s rib looks and feels it grows sooooo slowly when you are knitting it. I can’t believe people do whole jumpers in it.

Cuddly Bunny Cushions complete

So despite a worldwide shortage of the black yarn I needed for the last ear I finally got the 2 bunny cushions done. Getting used to them smiling at me while I knit though, so not sure I’m going to be able to bear to give them away as Easter pressies as planned

Wabbit cushions

Working on a new design for rabbit cushions. Looking nice and neat on the back

  

Yet more bags

My friends all seem to have Feb birthdays so busy time sewing. One is off on hols so made travel bag just the right size for airport security fluids. Other one is full of chocs.  

 

Birthday cakes and animations

Kid’s birthday times again- he picked an easy design thank goodness.

  
Bought some Stickbots as his present so couldn’t resist making my first animation too. Showed it to the media guys at work, but I don’t think they recognised my star potential. 

Bell pull

My friend bought this DMC cross stitch kit years ago but passed it on to me when she had a sort out. About 10 years on I’ve finally finished it. I really don’t like stitching the same pattern over and over like this but does look fab next to our fire place now.  

   

Chilly ears hat

With unseasonably cold weather in U.K. husband has frosty ears in his workshop. Knit him the popular 1898 hat, with cosy ear flaps. I did it in chunky wool, which made it a bit bigger. although it is very warm it is not really a very hip look, so hoping the neighbours don’t see him.
