Toadstool ..

pincushion....


I found the dainty ceramic container among thimbles at my neighbourhood church's fall jumble sale, few weeks ago.  At first, I thought it was a thimble but looking at it closely, it does not appear to have the shape of a thimble, also it is heavy. It is about 3cm tall, has a lovely design of bunnies, butterflies and bees. While, I do not know what it is used for ......



..I made another pincushion.






Autumn coloured crocheted scarf....

I found the pattern on this crochet designer's blog.  http://shropshirescrappersuz.blogspot.com/2017/09/circle-of-life-skinny-scarf.html
There are number of other free patterns to you like to check it out.

I used  lots of odds and ends from many types of yarn and, tried best to match the colours.







hat was for a friend of mine, she liked it a lot.



my attempt to take a selfie, to show the scarf..:) but could not capture well. 






join me for a warm cup of tea !!

Kantha stitching




I came upon this poster, left to be picked up by the recycling truck few weeks ago outside my building. And, it inspired me to start this stitching.



I added other details to my piece; basket with flowers, wrapped gift, and puffs of smoke.


I think I should add, part of the other leg as well to complete the picture.


I am still not sure how I want the background done.





Thank you for taking time to stop by,

till next time,
