Hi,
Yes the cosy was from a pattern here
http://justjen-knitsandstitches.blogspot.com.au/2012/10/reindeer-cup-cosy.html


Just to let you know though it only fits a really skinny mug if you were thinking of making so more rows would be needed for bigger mugs, seeing as we have quite big mugs for our tea, I just knitted it to the pattern then did not realise until after I had knitted it up

Here is my sprout wreath made for my sprout loving sister.
Was quite pleased how it turned out ... my sister loved it :-)


1 silver tinsel wreath, 1 coloured piece of tinsel and a pack of 2 bows ... all from the pound shop!!!


(Better on your door than on your plate I reckon .... yuk, I hate sprouts!!)

That's amaIng and so much better than the original wreath you found. If I saw that in a shop I would be so tempted to buy it!

that look brill CandyB, very professional looking and great conversation piece. I also admit to loving sprouts on my plate as well.

this is the second time today im certain ive replied to a post and come back to find nothing there.

It's looking brilliant, and so neat! I managed to finish my stocking in time for Christmas, I need to tidy bits up and add backing fabric but I was thrilled it at least looked finished in time. I'm now hooked and have ordered a couple of new kits (I still can't believe how cheap you managed to find yours). I wonder why though Dorothy has green shoes when having ruby slippers is a big part of the story?

mrs-moneypenny

Thank you, I thought that as well and did toy with changing them to red ones, i know in the story she gets the red shoes from the witch who her house falls on cant remember what shoes she had at the beginning or other parts of the film/book. it does say on the kit packaging that the images are based on the characters in the original book by L. Frank. Baum so im assuming there is a reason for them being green and not red.
did i miss the photo of your completed stocking?
