I was digging through some of my past stitches to see just what I had on hand I could finish into ornaments and lo and behold I found 3 of the same pattern I had made just after Christmas last year...I am sure they were out of a JCS magazine but I just cannot remember which issue... I think these will make perfecg small gifts for my family when I see them at Thanksgiving...I need to get busy finishing them this week!
And, dear sweet Fiona of Australia, has sent me a little kit I can make up for my pink basket!!! What a surprise I had in my mailbox today when I saw she had sent me this kit....I love it Fiona and will certainly be making this up soon!!! It even came with floss and the backing fabric included!! Thanks again!
Lastly, I have a crocheted scarf for a co-worker....She doesn't do crafts but loves them so...
When she asked me to please make her a scarf like those I like to wear, I couldnt say no....So, she bought the prettiest shade of red and here is the final product....I think she like it alot~~~ 
So, I am signing off...Phillip has his college sports banquet tonight and the golf team will get their ring for doing so well in the Junior College National Finals this past June...I cant wait to see those young men beaming with pride tonight~~~

ReplyDeleteAnd such sweet little gifts to make for your family for Thanksgiving next week to take home and hang on their tree that I'm sure everyone will be slapping up by next weekend? :) I know I will be!
Exciting evening for your son!
ok--so I put my tree up a little early this year! Glad to hear the sinuses are clearing--my new best friend at bedtime: Breathe right nasal strips--I cannot tell you how much better sleeping is---you may want to try them sometime Faye! Beautiful scarf (and I love the little scissors just peeking out!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are feeling better Faye! I love the Christmas pieces and yes those will make excellent family gifts. That was sweet of Fiona to send you that cute kit - you must take a pic of your pink basket soon.

Hi Faye - glad you are feeling better and glad you finally received the pink ribbon kit! I hope it finds a place in your "pink" basket! How is Barbara doing? Great red crochet - it's a fun thing to do for a bit of variety! Look forward to seeing what you do with your thanksgiving gifts! Have a fantastic day! xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finishes Faye. Lovely scarf. x
ReplyDeleteFantastic finishes! What a bonanza to find some already-stitched ornaments--you're ahead of the game this year! ;) Love the scarf, too, and the gift from Fiona is perfect!
ReplyDeleteGreat gifts Faye!! Love that scarf!! It turned out so pretty! :)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see how you end up finishing the little Merry Christmas stitchings, Faye--your finishes are always so creative and fun!
ReplyDeleteLove the scarf--lucky friend to have you crochet it for her :)
Faye,
ReplyDeleteSo glad that you are feeling better and I hope it will stay that way :)
Have a lovely Thanksgiving.
Glad to hear you're feeling better Faye and what lovely ornaments those designs will make. I love the scarf you have crocheted, how could anyone not love it. Best of luck to your son and his team with the golf. Take care.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are feeling better. The scarf is lovely, I'm sure she is thrilled. And how fortunate you stitched up those ornaments and they just need to be finished off! Good planning!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scarf!
ReplyDeleteGlad you're better! Love the ornies, scarf, and your kit!
ReplyDeleteSee, there is an up-side to not finishing EVERYthing right away . Those will make darling family ornies! Crochet, too? It's really a joy when someone loves what you make for them, isn't it? Hint: during the seasons when you 'always' have a head cold, take some allergy meds. My choice is generic Zyrtec. See you in a couple of weeks!
