First new project finish for 2013

My first finish for this year is a quick little bib. This one is slightly longer than the others I have been making and the backing is cut from an inexpensive hand towel.

Coasters

Some time ago I made a post and rail table runner as a gift and I had some scraps left over. The couple use the runner all the time so I made them a set of eight coasters to go with it. Unfortunately I only had a very small piece of the red with the beige spot left.

Autumn Fun

I saw some pictures on the internet of felted acorns and decided to make some myself as an Autumn decoration. When our chilren were little they would collect acorns and we would draw  faces on them. The blogger who provided the instructions had made the felted beads  with her children and they had gone on to make a whole village of acorn people, building houses for them with their wooden blocks.

Happy Handtowel.

After knitting a dozen dishcloths during the past few weeks, it was suggested I should try something more challenging. So I graduated to a handtowel in a sunny yellow. I am putting the knitting needles away for a while and dusting off the sewing machine to work on some patchwork, which is probably my favourite craft of all.
