This week has been all about Christmas amigurimi and therefore the WIPs are mostly all now finished objects. I’m sharing them anyway because they are so cute, and the weather has been rubbish so it’s ok to talk about Christmas. (Hoping all my USA followers are safe following the hurricane.)
I found this free pattern for Christmas decorations and had to try it. So far I’ve only made the snowmen, but I’ve made a few as I have had orders for 8 of them! (There’s a few others I want to try once the orders are done.)
I also made a heart using really fine crochet thread. I think these would make a beautiful garland, and they are pretty quick to whip up too.
As well as making decorations, I managed a couple of rounds on my cushion. I’m struggling to find a decent round cushion pad so I think I might be making my own! Until I know what size I want to make I shall just work a round at a time until it’s big enough.
I’ve also put in two Wool Warehouse orders this week, as I’ve had a few orders for my little business!
What have you been working on? Are you on to Christmas craft yet?
I’ve made a santa decoration and have a pattern. I can email it to you if you want to try it out? x

Love the little snowmen ornaments. I have been making charity Christmas cards for months now on and off but the last few weeks I have been mainly doing them as at the end of September they will all be out the door and I can start to play with making my cards.

I’m playing catchup …. trying to catch up with the blog posts I’ve missed from everyone over the past few days.
i LOVE LOVE LOVE the hearts. Those would look grand on a card Mrs.C. Imagine a valentines card, next year, white and square (say 6″x 6″) and a simple heart glued to the centre of the front. That’s all you’d need. It would look perfect.
The cushion continues to amaze me. It look so pretty and the colours are wonderful. They work so well together.
