Del Prado kitchen table & chairs

I made these from Del Prado Dolls House furniture kits, part of a massive bundle I snapped up earlier in the year with the intention of keeping me out of mischief this winter. I have 2 days peace & quiet this week mostly filled with getting things sorted for my DD landmark 30th birthday. After that we need to organise storage for our crafts - hers & mine.

Currently very distracted by the helicopters and other hardware flying over Celtic Manor. I appear to be on the flight path

Hi everyone,

Not done much stitching this week, been busy working on an exchange piece for the FB sampler world exchange.

So here is my Christmas decoration - we could do it any craft - so I choose pincraft. I am also sending them a wee stitch (I couldn't not, could I). It is a wee pin cushion. I am not very good at putting them together but I tried.

Here's the pictures

and the back


So hopefully my recipient likes it. I wonder what I will get in return.

So another item off my list.

Kind wishes to all

morning all
tgroom lovely dolls house furniture, ive always faniced one but have too much else on the go and no room to display it properly. maybe one day when my nest is empty.
sweetcarer love your decoration
pigpen you have done some lovely knitting, im sure all the recipients will be delighted
ive been asked to make a pollen hat for the shool harvest festival so thinking pom poms on a basic bobble hat, one needs to be detachable so the 'bee' can make off with a piece of pollen. at least i will be using up some wool from my stash doing it.

hope everyone is well

Another stranger returns just finished knitting a scarf haven't seen ends in yet Or phoned - bargain the wool only cost me 50p from a junk box as the bloke thought they were a pot pouri holder! Think that's no. 5 done

My 2 do list is longer than ever but unfortunately we had an incident over the summer hols my father got rushed into hospital which we thought was constipation but unfortunately when he was operated on it was cancer he spent 4 weeks in hospital he's home now were just waiting for follow up appointments and treatment plans xx

mrs-moneypenny

mum2one hugs to you and your dad it has been a worrying time for you. hope his recovery goes smoothly.
