Thinking of you @Finstickle and wishing you luck! 

Nothing much new crafted except a few cards but lots of sorting in the craft room done

Wow, the destashers are doing well, I applaud you. I did send a lot of craft books to the charity shop earlier in the year, but have since bought 3 more.
Lovely baby set @plumduff55,  beautiful quilts @Pink12345 - love the  dogs!

I have made a cross stitch christmas ornament.  I need to but a hanger and backing on, I will do that when I have done more. My first time using perforated paper - I had some in my inherited stash, but when I came to use it it was useless, too floppy, and the holes were not perfectly regular, so I bought some.  I quite like cross stitch and embroidery, but I do not want any more pictures on the wall, so Christmas Decs are a good thing to do.

@old_fogey great idea for cross stitch. I did a lot of cross stitch many years ago and ended up with framed pictures everywhere 🤣. Nowadays I think it would cause too much eye strain 😳

@Katiehound thanks for the yarn link. I checked it out but it was a mixed colours set and most of my baby knitting is pink or blue - how predictable am I🥴

Lately I've been using Stylecraft Bambino for baby knits, although it's 100% acrylic it's lovely and soft and knits up well.  Usually costs around £3 for a 100g ball. 

I've finished the first school cardigan. I couldn't find matching buttons so just used clear buttons instead. I've now started a grey school cardigan but with a different pattern.

Happy crafting xx

Yet again @plumduff55 a lovely cardigan with fancy cable, or is it some form of claw stitch? Anyway a handsome little number

Shame about the Sirdar because it was a bargain at that price. I don't need ANY yarn (except bright white DK for the crochet angels, always assuming I get more orders)

Hi, I don't know what this stitch is called. It's not a cable and I've googled claw stitch and it's not that either 🤔

Lovely cardigan @plumduff55 

I have eventually finished my dining room curtains, 3 big pairs. It's been a bit of a slog.  I still need to do the lounge, but I am going to have a break from curtain making for a bit,  I seem to have been on them for ever.

I have made a birthday card, and some more magnetic bookmarks for hubby.

Have fallen way behind as been plagued by illness. Slowly getting back on track. Managed to crochet a new blanket for Frankie our new kitty cat. But thats my lot to update I'm afraid.

DH is recovering nicely. I have taken pics of the stress crafting  that I have been doing over the last 5 weeks. An elf named Jangles. (his sister will be jingles) also lots of cross stitch cards ( i find doing them very therapeutic.) Have also used my die cut machine to make a few wedding cards.
