Christmas projects 2022

Here’s a little round-up of all of my Christmas crafting.

A bird’s eye view of an allotment

For quite some time, I’ve had my eye on Collette Kinley’s embroidery pattern for a bird’s eye view of an allotment.

An autumn wreath

Work has been crazily busy this year, so I haven’t had as much energy, or motivation, to do much making. However, with all of the never-ending depressing news, I’ve recently felt the need to turn to crafting for some much-needed escapism.

Folkestone Artworks

I’m just back from a week in Kent, my first holiday in three years! I stayed in Folkestone, somewhere I hadn’t visited before, and it turned out to be a really vibrant, creative place.

Crown to Catwalk

One of the things that I used to enjoy most about visiting the Knitting and Stitching Shows was seeing the work on display in the textile galleries. Even in pre-Covid times, the shows got too busy for me so I stopped going, preferring to look out for smaller exhibitions instead. When I saw that the Royal School of Needlework was holding a 150th-anniversary show at the Fashion and Textile Museum in London, I knew that it would be something I would enjoy.

A Scarf for Lewy

I’ve just finished making two scarves for my first charity project in quite some time.

A little home decor

Where has this year gone already? It’s been a while since I’ve written anything, but I have been pottering about making a few things for my newly decorated bedroom.

A Valentine’s wreath

My garden shed has somewhat been taken over by flowers that I cut for drying last summer. I had two trays of nigella pods, which I couldn’t bear to get rid of, so I decided to make another wreath.

Mosaic Crochet Mittens

My first completed project of 2022 – mittens!

Winter wreaths 2021

I spent a couple of days last week making winter wreaths. It was mild enough for me to work outside, which meant I didn’t need to worry about being a bit messy!
