A couple more hot water bottle covers and a covered pot!!

I think that the wood pile is my favourite spot to photo my sewing at the moment but it does mean catching the sun as it goes down.

Two more hot water bottle covers finished ready for christmas.

Then I had a small scrap busting idea when I saw a pot that I decided to fill with the hair bobbles that I find liberally scattered around the house.

I decided it could use a sleeve..

And just look at the gorgeous blue sky through the fig tree..

And by the way does anyone know if I should cut those small figs off or leave them on over the winter?

I am never sure.

A tea bag wallet.

I have been looking at these little fellows on Flickr for a while and had a spare few minutes on sunday. It is the perfect gift for a friend who drinks lots of herbal tea and always carries her own supply just in case. I found a tutorial here by Handmadetherapy and it was easy to follow and handy to have the measurements. I swapped the elastic for a tab and button hole.

That's another present ready!

Reverse.

And inside!

Is that a Herd of Reindeer in the Hedge?!

I have now completed 9 reindeer for the fair,

And two more Gathered Clutch purses from the pattern I mentioned by Noodlehead. Well actually there were three more purses but one has already been snaffled by my daughter!

I have been putting in small pockets instead of the divider and card holder which makes them a bit quicker and I can finally say that after my fourth purse I can now do the tab ended zip bit with confidence!

It did take three partially correct ones first though, but I am hoping that a man on a galloping horse and all that..

And finally this weekend, I have started another couple of hot water bottle covers..

WIP.

Happy sunny weekend!
