As requested, a place for us to ask for help and advice from other stitchers and to show the things we make.
Over to you.:-D

Great trousers Maggie - I could do with some myself. Did you use a pattern?

Not sewing, but whilst I have been hospital visiting I've made this little fella

Merry Christmas Mags! lol He is cute. Yes I used a pattern for the trousers.

here is my effort from the weekend

  I decorated an old wooden box to make a memory box for my mum, and I put all the bits and pieces around an old vase for some silk flowers for her, it is her birthday soon and I thought she might like it,  just got to put some felt on the bottom of the box.

[ed_blackadder_1]

Oh and I made about 15 cards, too many to show.

Love the trousers Maggie, as my grandmother used to say,' you wouldn't miss you on a dark night'

[ilove2patch]

The box is lovely Ed. I am sure you mum will be thrilled to bits with it.

[bitsnknots]

Oh Ed you are clever.  I'd never have thought of that.

[captainbovine]

I like the jar too, very clever Ed, your mum should love those.

'oooze a clever girl then?

[ed_blackadder_1]

The trouble is once you start doing this you can't stop, that was my OH box and he kept fishing stuff in it, so I pinched it, the vase was a friends so I wormed it out of her, she didn't want it anyway, I have now found various other things to cover and trim.  Another friend has an old cutlery box she doesn't want so I am going to see what I can do with that, it needs sanding and glueing before I start, but that should keep me quiet for a while anyway.

Todays make. It has little slits in the sides but you can't see them in the photo. I have decided that I prefer quilting to dressmaking!

[bitsnknots]

Like the blouse Maggie.  I've not done any sewing for years.

Love the trosera and top Maggie and nice and loose and cool for all that lounging by the pool in the sun

Great box Ed am sure your Mum will be delighted.

Also loving Santa but slightly scares me that you are already getting organised Mags

[stan3502]

Literally just recieved this from son with the message .......................

"Excuse the mess but ....................look what I can do Nain"

     Now you're all in trouble I can stand

[bitsnknots]

What a little cutie.  How old is she now Stan?

[stan3502]

8 months books although she is still small for her age as she was so little when born

[bitsnknots]

Aww she's lovely Stan.  She has all the world to grow in and she'll shoot up in time.

[stan3502]

Awww thanks Books actually it's quite sweet that she's still a dinky but has actually caught up on all other aspects of her physical development.

OMG now I'm boring ............... can you see a proud Nainny from a mile off lol

[bitsnknots]

Stan, you're not boring at all - you are a proud nana and rightly so.  Gawd I love littlies.

[captainbovine]

aawww bless, she looks really pleased with herself!!

and lovely proud Nain...nothing wrong with that

[stan3502]

What is it about any baby with chubby little legs that makes you go .......... Awwwwwww
