Lastly for today I am Knitting with a little help from my friends on what on earth does slp and fat mean!!  It was a jumper meant for Neo who is two but it might just end up for Kai Max who is three months!






Here are the snow pictures that I might just copy!!




Now for something different.  Three of the WI Ladies including myself went to the Seven Hills WI in town and we made a pincushion.  I knew they would be giving out the fabric and ribbons etc and we just had to bring a small jam jar.  Well I took my own Twitterpated material from Stampin Up and the ruffle ribbon and organza one and even a Sycamore Street button and here are the results!!
Here are my small cards using the owl punch and sizzles leaves and flower punch and google eyes!!




Also to make the chicken I just cut off the ears and put them on as wings.  We didn't have a lot of time so I cut and punched all the shapes out beforehand.
Here are the teacup flowers that June organised


Here is Christine getting ready to crochet
Here are photographs of the quilts:










At the WI this week we did a speed crafting event.  There were three stations of crafting and one talk and example.

I demonstrated small cards using the owl punch and my members copied what I had done choosing their own waistcoats for the owls or making a chicken.

June showed everyone how to make a flower arrangement in a teacup - they looked really good.

Jean showed everyone her quilts and told them about the Linus charity where we make quilts for premature babies and children up to sixteen year olds.  I am very proud of the quilts I made for them and we put a label on the quilts which I always kiss and then send on.

Christine taught the ladies how to crochet - some hadn't crocheted for years and others were new to the craft but I hope it gives them the incentive to carry on.

We had fifteen minutes at each table and it was an excellent evening with everyone really happy and going home with items they had made.
