Creative Endeavours

It has been really cold here in Tassie this past week, and all I really feel like of a night time is curling up in my chair with some crochet......but organizing tasks into halves has helped me to achieve a couple of finishes.

FIS (on-line group) BOM - block 7.

A wrap skirt.....

and a scarf to match.

I hope you're all staying warm & safe!

Cheers....Jane.

Xmas Stocking Swap

Our on-line stitching group had a recent Christmas Stocking swap.

These are the lovely goodies I received form Vicki....how cute are those little snowmen peeping out! Thank you Vicki for a beautiful present!

SAL Prize & Crochet

A little while ago I won this prize in Chooky's SAL.

I was very lucky to also receive this bonus also!!

I purchased some Flower Sugar fabric & Anni's new book from Sharon's on-line store. A big thankyou Sharon for donating the voucher & being so obliging!

After seeing Lisa's lovely pile of crochet, I decided I'd like a pile too.  I'm trying to do one of each colour that I have & perhaps a couple of extra neutral & white.
Cheers....Jane.
