(And before you ask where our creations are...let’s just say it’s a pretty poor show at GNHQ. One of us - ok, me 
- had to be cut free from a chair during their only attempt at knitting and that seems to be par for the course round these parts.)
I made this Spring wreath to hang in the window, crocheted flowers and then fixed to a small embroidery ring
I really enjoyed looking at all yr lovely items!
Mostly I do Christmas scenes for jar lids.
This is a “North Pole reindeer barn” .
Virgin poster here. made and sent this card to my 9 yr old granddaughter.
Not proper crafting, but am currently cutting down a double duvet cover to make a single cover. The cut offs will be turned into a curtain border, and added to a flat, white sheet for the rest of the curtain.
This is part of a project for my grandsons bedroom, for his birthday in 2 weeks. He’s obsessed with dinosaurs, even talks in his sleep about them!
His mum (an artist) has painted a 4 food dinosaur to be cut out for his door. She also cut out dinosaur card shapes, and I’ve sewn them into bunting. The other bunting is last years, hand-cut and sewn by me, but coordinates with the new bedroom.
Last years bedroom decoration was Hungry Catepillar, with painted leaf, sun and caterpillar, now donated to our local library for the children’s section.
Why didn't I look at the Arts and Crafts forum before ??????? There are obviously so many very talented people on here. Love these items you have all been making.
My latest makes are this chair I recovered and a painting to match done on an old canvas from a charity shop. Not an expert at either but I muddle through.
I crocheted this summery cardigan recently. I sent it to my sister for her birthday. She loved it.
I might make one for myself in a different colour, I really dont suit yellow.
What a beautiful shawl, ditto that cushion cover. So many lovely things. I do admire your patience, GrannyLaine! If I’d ever embarked on that, it would have ended up as a UFO (unfinished object) after a lot of very unladylike rude words.
I’m using up some of my vast, multicoloured stash to (very prematurely!) making these. (Very easy.). I think the stash will run to half a dozen, so I dare say some will be going to Gdcs’ little friends eventually.
I’m even thinking of a suitably time-consuming 3rd Nativity set (apologies for unseasonal references!) - the 2nd went down very well at their pre-school/reception but the elder will be at a different site for year one in September - assuming things are back to some sort of normal by then...
For a while I made knitting bags, here is one I still have. I loved this fabric!
Latest production ?
My first attempt at rag-rugging.
I enjoy counting cross stitch and making cross stitch cushion covers. It only requires low grade concentration and I can chat/listen to music/watch television and keep my hands busy with cross stitch.
(Beautiful shawl GrannieLaine and teddy made me howl ...)
I upcycled this bentwood coffee table. It was chucked out in a car park just as I was parking up and was offered to me for free.
Originally it was plain wood with chips out of the edges and colourful scribbling from felt tip pens on the top.
I painted it and covered the top in a wallpaper which I then lacquered, and now it’s back in use.
