* Some Things My Friends Have Made...

Although my birthday was a quite a looong while ago now, I'd like to share some of the beautiful things that friends and family made for me, as well as some other crafty treats that I've been given recently. There's a range of talents here - crocheting,sewing, felting, embroidery... Its very inspiring to have such gifted friends and family!

Beegu:
Little sis Catherine made me this wonderful alien, Beegu - a character from one of my favourite children's picture books

Embroidery Hoop:
Charlotte made me this beautiful embroidery of my favourite Bible verse

Crochet shawl:
This pretty shawl was made by Helen - I can't wait to wear it when it gets colder...sitting by the fire wrapped in this beauty!

Crochet Coffee Wrap:
Anna has become a proficient crochet-er - an inspiration to me, as she learnt how to crochet pretty quickly and was straight onto making huge blankets and these snug coffee wraps! Mine stays in my handbag for whenever I buy a green tea or hot chocolate, to protect my mits!

Felt Pod:

A funky felt pod, made and dyed entirely from scratch by Debbie - I love it!Heart Pin Cushion:
This treat was hiding in the sewing box Charlotte gave me - she didn't think it was very good, but I think it's perfect

Sewing Bag:
Catherine had been a busy sewing bee, making me this cute sewing bag, as well as Beegu

...and a better snap of the wondrous sewing box from Charlotte - its magical, because it has 6 drawers that fold in and out!
Thank you lovely friends!
