Crafts - May 2025

[smallhobbit]

Despite being away for a week, crafting continued:

I finished the second sleeve of my jumper and knitted the neck.  Just have the sewing up to do



Then it will be time to start another project!

I was given a felt craft kit for Christmas, and made it up this month:



No floral SAL this month - my magazine comes out four-weekly, so there were other patterns (more of them next time), but here's June's Mouse



Plus some birthday cards:

   

   



Plus a card for our curate when she becomes a priest

The jumper is coming along well!

So many little cross stitch pieces! They look great, and the felt kit is cute!

Thank you very much - not much more to do - it'll be ready for the autumn.

I've been pleased at the way the cards have turned out - and they don't take too long to do, which is a plus!

Well in advance, I would think!

Small pieces are reassuringly fast to do.

I like the interesting texture at the base of the jumper. And those little cross-stitched letters are a lot of fun.

Thank you - setting the texture pattern required a lot of counting to avoid making a mistake. I like stitching letters, they make the cards more personal.

Lovely work…I like the jumper colours:-)

Thank you very much. The colours are a collection called Spring Hedgerow.

Ah, here I could see the pictures! The jumper is doing great, and I love Miss Mouse and the birthday cards, especially the ones with flamengos.

I have no idea why the pictures weren't visible on LJ - I could see them (although I did post them...) Delighted you like the cross stitch cards - I was pleased with the flamingos - they worked out really well.

I always love your mice! :) An especially lovely job also with the felt!

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much. I was very pleased with the felt brooch. I wore it when we went to a local charity awards event.

Playing more catch up...

Your jumper's really coming together! It looks fabulous! :-D And kudos for that beautiful felt flower and all your cross-stich projects. I particularly like the mouse and the flamingos.

Thank you very much! I'm delighted you like the mouse and the flamingos - I was pleased with how they turned out.
