Welcome (again) Mrs Bones. What an interesting list. Jow sre you hoing to make the wire stags head, do you have a pattern?

No, don't have a pattern, just an idea in my head. Like most things I'm just going to wing it and it will be a case of trial and error. Thought I might have a go at a couple of smaller ones first to try and practice the shape, then they can be tree decorations.

If I can manage it I'd then like to tackle an hare, love stags and hares.

That looks lovely, sure the recipient will be over the moon with it. I haven't got either the patience or motivation to knit but I always like knitted items that people make.

Happycrafter - lovely jumper. I really must sew my 3 up that are waiting.

I have finished the Rock, Paper, Scissor, Lizard, Spock cross stitch. My son was really pleased wih it. Will post a photo now. For some reason when using my tablet I find I have to do the picture post separately. Sorry.

Love the cross stitch, the pictures on the flikr group and this thread are gorgeous you are all a talented and inspiring bunch.

I am really trying to get my head round peyote stitch started it last night and said a lot of naughty words :rotfl: so thought I would try again with a fresh head.

Here goes - 2nd attempt to post.

I have finished my first item for 2014, a hot water bottle cover. Made using cheap fleece blanket from A$da and spares in my stash. Hot water bottle was from £shop.

For some reason it won't let me post the images here using Flickr code so will have to post link instead.

It must have taken ages - and it puts my tiny little bit to shame... hahaha

Luckycar - your hot water bottle is reallynice. Is it a present? Its reminded me that I have some fleece that I need to do somethig with. Thinking monster gloves, I'm sure I saved the link via Pinterest.

Nimbo - it didn't take too long. Started it mid October but did about 5 other small designs in between. It is actually just 5 smallish designs connected. Think I might see if the designs fit coasters and sew them individually for my Nephews for a gift. So many ideas but so little time.
