Jan makes so far

At the new year I decided to do some knitting and knitted up this cowl with some lovely green chunky wool I had. But it looked abit plain so I added some red felt flowers and buttons to cheer it up..


Now when I'm on the beach with Daisy I'll keep lovely and cosy instead of my scarf flying off all the time..

I have a long list of cards to make for special birthdays this year, starting with my youngest daughters fella who turns 30 in next month. He's a keen fisherman and this is what I've done so far its AWIP..

G's cousin turns 60 so his mum asked me to make her a card, now I need to make her one from us as well..

I have been doing some patchwork with the honey buns I bought last year. These are made from the remains of the roll I used to make the beach bag for the flower show last year ..
Pin cushions and a little needlecase (although I stitched pins on it as I couldn't be arsed to stitch needles)

I have also just finished a lovely patchwork cushion but forgot to take a photo so will show tomorrow. Now better go and do something domestic like cook tea and iron G's shirt before he goes to work...

You have been a busy bee! I love that cowl thats a fab idea I'm always trailing my scarves on the ground. The pin cushions are just sweet, they must have been really fiddly.
