January 2012..a busy month and also a very very sad month.
First a little catch up of December. The week before Christmas by doggie Chrissie got hit by a car. All good though. She is now my three legged Chrissie Dog. She was home for Christmas and well enough to wear her traditional out fit for the morning of ' The Day '. ps Chrissie is named after this day ( I got her on Chritmas Eve ) and she was born on November 11, Her ' official ' name, oh la de da...giggles is Christmas Remembrance English...Chrissie to us.
Also I never really ever though I would actually get or have a " white picket fence ' but thanx to Chrissie's accident..hubby built one for her in the front yard. So I guess it's not really mine but Chrissie's. She can go down the steps but not up, so Chrissie will give you a little whimper to come carry her up..if she's not heard..then she barks...it is kinda cute...
First I will 'show of ' my embroidery creations from Nana's Nook for the first month of the year.
Alvin the Chipmunk on a T-shirt for a little friend of the Nook.
Another for a little friend of the Nook, yes she is a Dragons supporter... on a t-shirt..
and a matching towel..thou I have been told she thinks it is too good to be used..might have to make a second one so she can use at least one of them, lol
I was excited to get a Puss in Boots embroidery design, so have used it a couple of times so far. Firstly on a handtowel
and again on a T-Shirt
I had not hand crocheted anything since I'd lost my best friend D in October. She was the Queen for crocheted hand towel toppers. When her daughter-in-law gave me two hand towels recently, I chose to crochet them in the style I know D would of done. Gave me such a good feeling and extra special as I used one of D's crochet hooks. I have returned the now finished handtowels to L. I am now looking forward to more crocheting ahead...
I have enjoyed making some embroidery hand towels for friends ... some variety is always fun xxx
My GS William (6) has a loose tooth. Well off I went to ' The Nook ' to make a Tooth Fairy Pillow. A little different from the ones I made years back. This is made like a little bag, it is much easier for the Tooth Fairy to find this handing off the door, from the end of the bed, etc then trying to find under a pillow. No lost tooth yet, we are still waiting.. but we are prepared !!
A quick little embroidery job...and simple. A Tea Towel for a machine dust cover..yep quick and easy and cheap....
So excited about these new designs...they are so cute and so different....and so much fun !! These are Dress Handtowel Toppers. There are 9 in the set, here are the six I have so far made.
