Meant to post this last night, but didn't press the button :

Another hour & half done. I'm going cross-eyed trying not to lose my place on the guide.
I've only done small cross stitches before, I knew this would be a challenge!

@x_raphael_xx that is certainly growing. Can't wait to see it grow.

@Soontobeoap wow, well done on your decluttering/crafting. I hope some of your ruthlessness rubs off on me!

@Stashbuster great top!  Beautiful fabric

Not done any more on my tablet cover, got sidetracked. I will do some today.

@x_raphael_xx - what is your cross stitch of? Well done on getting it out again and taking it back up! Small bits of progress add up. Im trying my best to do that with my robin and do one colour a night but my eyes get tired after too long.

@Stashbuster - love the top and the material and it looks so pretty on you! Cant wait to see what else you make.

I will post a picture of my robin later. Im making slow progress on him at the minute but its coming along nicely. Im just back from a 5k hike with the dogs and husband though and to be honest - I just want to nap!

Loving the photos, everything is looking great.  I'm almost finished my santa and Xmas trees runner.  Just a bit hand sewing the binding round the back, Santa's bobble and decide if I'm going go do any more quilting.  Quite pleased with it and its used some material,  Xmas material and fleece for the backing

Sorry, looks like you'll have to turn your head sideways for this one!

As I said before, probably not many 'pretty' things are likely to be created but over the last few days have made 8 shopping bags - all like this! using up curtain material .
The aim is to use ALL of it asap. I can use the linings in the doggy duvet factory but not this. Bags are a reasonable size around 45cm long and 43? wide. going into shoe boxes.

Hi, I'm slowly feeling better after that bug and have been sitting knitting a lot. The waistcoat is coming along nicely. I tried several basket weave patterns and preferred this one. Picture below. I've still got the binding to sew on that baby quilt and hopefully will do it tomorrow.
@x_raphael_xx  That's going to be really beautiful
@daisy_1571 your Christmas table runner is lovely. I made one very similar last Christmas- with presents on it. I'll post a pic later

Happy crafting xx

Another 1hr 10 mins on the fox today. Doesn't look like much progress made.
