Polishing the Sled

Oh what a month! Here it is the 25th already and I haven't posted since the 1st ... have managed to visit a couple of blogs but my unread counter is through the roof.

A little knitting or embroidery at night is all I've had time for this month and luckily I got in early with my 1 Xmas Item.  After knitting both 'Love' and 'Joy' washcloths I thought I could draft one with DD's name and I'm pretty happy with the result. Another for August is also drafted ready and waiting :)


Time once more to visit all my fellow elves' workshops and share their Christmas delights on our 1 Xmas Item page. Hope your stash of goodies is growing and you're looking forward to displaying or giftwrapping when December arrives. Thankyou for joining me in this merry little venture.

It's never too late to make a start so if you haven't had the time yet then perhaps August will be your month.




My other finish early this month was .... another scarf. This particular ball of yarn was purchased last year so does this make it a UFO finish?


I've had a couple of goes trying to get some 2" postage charm squares cut for the next swap ... this is just over half.

Last Wednesday I spent a beautiful day out with 2 lovely friends at a quilt show and these 3 fat 1/4's begged me to buy them.


May the sun shine for you today.
