Last Friday I delivered my items to Karuna...
Some little stockings decorated with buttons, yo yos or bells with loops to hang on the tree.
Some thread catchers ( Natalie Bird’s pattern) with thread snips, using some of my stash of sewing themed fabrics. Using the fabrics eases the guilt of having so much in my stash! Lol
And that mohair throw that has been written about in the odd Wool on Sunday post. A modest amount of my Jo Sharp mohair has been used up so again the ‘stash guilt’ is eased. 🤣
And tonight I finished the items that I’m donating to the Parish Christmas Market. No throw for them as no more are finished but I did give them 2 for July’s Art Show.
So more thread catchers...
Placed in cello bags make them look a bit smart 😉. And again I added cutters/snips.
More Xmas stockings but this time I added a lollipop to each cello package. (I bought the bag of lollipops in case local children came around on Hallowe’en. They didn’t so now the sweets are leaving our house!)
I really enjoyed making these simple items; it was just like the old days when I used to do a lot of craft for school and church fundraising. Funny how one gets out of the habit.
So now DH and I have our Melbourne trip to look forward to (leaving Tuesday morning) and then a drive over to Adelaide for a few days before arriving home on Dec 2. It will be lovely 😊
Beautiful makes. Have a wonderful trip and break away. We are hoping to get away to visit family.

If you are coming through Ballarat on your way to Adelaide and want to stop for a coffee break let me know. It would be great to catch up in person again!
