14 Projects in 2014 - in memory of Soulie

sweetcarer

Hi everyone,

Another completion - the wee birth sampler for one of the girls at work. She asked me to do this one, as I had done one for her other son when he was born a couple of years ago and the older son asked why he didn't have one. Only thing different, is I was unsure of the frame size I used and the colours are slightly different.

So here is the one I have just done.



and here is the one I done for his younger brother years ago - don't know why I don't have a picture of it framed.



I have explained to her about the colour difference. I have laced it in so if need do I can put it in a bigger frame if need to. Hope she likes it.

Kind wishes to all,

sweetcarer

I am going to have to stitch night and day to get 14 things done lol, although in saying that I have done 14 things just not 14 projects. It has been really nice to be able to give out hand made cards to people and I am enjoying building up my stash of cards and gifts instead of just having a stash of material and thread!!!

Oh don't worry mrs-m, I will carry on posting. I did 18/13 last year so would like to equal or better this.

I actually made an embroidered needle case and appliqued owl coaster on Saturday at a WI dabble day but haven't included these. I will post a photo though to put on the Flickr group.

I have made a start on Starry starry night but still have quite a bit of baby knitting to do.

DH is going to football on Saturday so I have all day to stitch :j

So sorry to post & run, will catch up properly soon; Just wanted to post a link to my bunny blanket that I made for my niece - she turned up 8 days early and I was still sewing it together whilst my sister was in labour :eek::eek: Managed to finish it in time for first visiting though, and my sister said all of the nurses were commenting on it Anyway, here you go - I'm off for more baby snuggles now

Hi All
I have been absent for a bit again but have been following the threads and looks like everyone is still doing really well with their projects!! I am definitely slipping behind a bit so need to get back into the crafting. At the moment my time has been dedicated to making pom poms for my friend's wedding party, she is having a pom pom bunting type garland and her freinds and family have been enlisted to help so I shall add this to my list of projects!
I did upload my pics of my bridal bouquet and one of the bridesmaids bouquets onto flikr, i was so proud of those!
I am amending one of my projects, the little yellow duck campaign is going onto the backburner as I have tasked myself with making knitted chicks for all the attendees at a friend's hen party! So am swapping it to that, think i will have to save the yellow ducks for 2015! Also i may swap another couple of charity projects into christmas present projects as this year is slipping away from me! At least I have a good starter list for 15 crafts in 2015!!
Anyhoo happy crafting and hopefully I can get back on here a bit more frequently with updates!!

1. Knit a tea cosy
2. Learn to crochet (have a book and a beginners scarf set so that is the first challenge!)
3. Make a pair of shorts for my fella out of his old jeans.
4. Make my own Christmas Cards
5. Knit cowl neck scarf - Completed - made for my mom for mothers day!
6. Knit frog teddy for friend's baby
7. Knit preemie hats/booties/mittens & cardigans - In progress
8. Knit a mouse teddy for friends b'day - In Progress
9. Knit hats for seafarers - [COLOR="rgb(0, 191, 255)"]in progress at bi-weekly knitting group (2 completed)[/COLOR]
