One whisper in my ear from a child, and I have
been given an interesting idea to try......funky Christmas puddings!
They
look fun hey?
While I sit with the kids at lunch time and
knit, I come away in stitches and giggles at some of the funny things they say
and their carry ons. I enjoy their company so much. Just recently I was showing
the group my knitting project which was a traditional Christmas
pudding.....brown and white. One of the kids said I should make one in lime
green....LIME GREEN! After
going into a silent conniption and melt down, I got myself together and
thought...well why not? Have a try....and I did. What a super idea.
This week I have been thinking about Christmas
and have made a start on a secret gift. This is the time of year when the
stitching and stitcheries start. I’m trying hard to put the knitting needles
and crochet hooks down but it’s been difficult.....and it hasn’t really
happened for me. Lol. Here is a sneak peak of some stitchery .....
Had to use the leftover ball of yarn to make a
cute head band and flower.
Oh and this week I came across an interesting
crochet stitch...also via Pinterest. If you want to have a go at the pattern
click here. This will take you straight to the website. It's fun to crochet.
Yesterday Heather and I flew off on our
broomsticks to the historical town of York to check out the Craft
Fair.
It was a beauty!!! There were so many different types of crafts to choose from.
With Christmas gifts on my mind I had to purchase this cute little gift wrapped
soap for a special girl.
Oh......oops!.....I found this for me. Bit of
cute bling to wear on my wrist. Very cool.
This coming week will see me concentrating on
getting Christmas together in the way of really getting stuck into handmade
Christmas gifts for my family and close friends. It is always a fun time of
year for us and making gifts is the best fun for me.
What are you up to this week? Whatever it is be
happy and have a terrific time.
Cheers, Anita.

Love reading your posts :o)
Those 'funky' puds would brighten anyone's day!
Those Christmas puddings are such fun, as is the knitted Santa hanging on your tree. He is looking a bit lonely...you will have to knit some more. Love your pretty blue stitching!
sometimes children have some good ideas. The boys will still give me suggestions from time to time
I love your colourful puddings... just perfect..... so many different things you put your hand to...

Good luck with all the Christmas preparations. The colourful puddings are gorgeous. And the stitchery is looking lovely.
Going to a craft show is good inspiration!
The colourful puddings are awesome! What a great idea!
Those funky puds are gorgeous Anita - I think my favourite though is the traditional ones you did last post. You sure have been creating up a storm, yes christmas is getting close now. Have a great week & hope you find some creative time :-)
I really need to get on with Christmas preparations though I'm not really in the Christmas mood just yet. No doubt it will just be a Christmas panic.
Love your projects Anita and your colorful puddings.
Hugs,
Meredith
