Love the little 'Car'     

Not such a 'little' car that board was 10" x 14"

Lots of very beautiful creations on this thread and some I would like to have a go at, but definately not anything to do with sewing, I'll leave that to the experts.

Figure of speech Ice!   

I'm with you on the sewing bit, I can't even draw a straight line, let alone stitch one!  That's why I like cross stitch, it's all little squares!!!  and crosses

Thanks Grannie, the guitars are beautiful, the 1st one he made for our daughter,the 2nd for his boss & the 3rd for himself even though he doesn't play. He's now made a cigar box guitar at our daughter's request(she plays). They're about to start on another one.
The tree isn't teabag folding it's materials can't remember the name of the style/pattern.

Oooh, it looks just like teabag folding.  Even nicer then if its stitched!

This is the doll I made from a kit for a cousins grand daughter.  The small teddy in the pocket gave me an idea- I help at a refuge for abandoned dogs here in Spain and thought I could maybe make key rings to sell to raise funds to pay a vets bill (2 big dogs attacked another dog, sadly it died but the refuge had a vets bill for 160€) then another little dog got attacked, so another vets bill (that little dog is living here until he is better) so this is what I came up with for the key rings:

I have got 26€ so far- not a lot, but better than nothing1

You are doing really well Pamela.  Hope you raise loads more money for the poor doggies.

That dolly is lovely!

The doll is lovely & what a good idea for the key rings. I seem to remember you asking for the rings on another thread. Every little helps when you fund raise does'nt it.
Our WI had a charity stall on the market last week & raised £204 just from selling unwanted items that had been donated.

This is what I made for a friend for her glasses, but she said she would not use it, she liked hard cases for her glasses, so Aunt Sally now owns it!


And this is a bag I made for my friends Christmas:


I have loads of crossstitch pictures, mostly Hummel figure ones, I stitched them for MIL and an Aunt and got them back when they died.

I'm using my glasses case every day at the moment.  I'm keeping my sun glasses in it.

[snowdrops]

They're lovely. I would have been happy to put my glasses in there,I bet you didn't make her anything else.

This is a crewel emboridary I did  and I have it hanging on the wall near my front door.



It was difficult to photograph it without a lot of reflection on the glass.

These are a couple of close ups of parts of it





sorry about the reflections

[snowdrops]

That looks like it was a lot of work,lovely.

[Aunt Sally]

Lots of work but I really love doing it

[GrannieAnnie]

It's lovely Auntie.  So neat!   I've never tried crewel.  Used to do a bit of 'ordinary' embroidery on the train up to London, but found cross stitch was easier to concentrate on!

[Aunt Sally]

I like the great variety of stitches.  I did a beautiful owl picure in cross  stitch for a friend of mine who loves owls but I got a bit
tired of X X X X X X   

The great feature of cross stitch is the wonderful detail you can get into a picture.

Really beautiful Aunt Sally  

Here are the cats I have been asked to make- I will sell them for 1.50€
I will post a photo of the dog we are looking after (and raising funds for the vets fees) on the pets without feathers page.

Ps  I hate sewing cross stitch that has big blocks of colour- I get bored  easily

[Aunt Sally]

They are adorable, Oliveview.

I think it's wonderful to be making them for your charity
