And then there were seven.

Am loving these baskets!

It is surprising how you only need five minutes to sneak away and finish one.

That's my sort of sewing.

A new book and a bit of time!

We had a great christmas and as we cleared away the temporary campbeds in the study I was able to get my boxes out and have a look at a new book that I got for christmas.

I first saw this book last spring on a post over at Blue Elephant Stitches.

 I really loved her liberated baskets and have had the book on my wish list since then.

I love it.

Lots of ideas and a 'liberated' way of doing things that I just think is great.

I started with baskets..

With a background of shirts of course!

Also finished a little pencil case which is a present for a friend..

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

So much for posting this on Christmas Eve!

 I'm afraid the lack of cleaning for the rest of the year caught up on me and the housefull of visitors arriving was enough of an incentive to get cracking.

I managed to finish the wonky star cushion planned for some friends..

Despite there having been loads of berries on the Holly earlier in the year, the birds have obviously been busy and there are only a couple left now..

The back was a simple envelope with a bit of green binding and a button..

Love the matching nail varnish!! (Not mine)

Hope you all had a good christmas and wish you a Happy New Year.
