Weekend

What a difference a day makes.  Saturday and Sunday saw some really wild weather the winds were out in force, along with outbursts of torrential rain and hail storms.  Today we have woke to a calm bright day, long may that last.  The stove was going all weekend, making for a cosy ambience in our lounge and reverting us back to a Winter mindset.  Out came the crossword books and of course I was able to finish off Honeys coat.  Once finished I was on a roll making a scarf with pom poms and knitting a hat to match.





The sleeves were soon stitched up.  Pom poms made to embellish the scarf and a large darning needle used to stitch them on.  Finally a oversized pom pom made and stitched to the knitted hat.  A crochet flower added to embellish both the hat and the coat hangar.

Drum roll please....






Only 14 more sleeps and she will be here to try it on, I am so excited.  I am thinking a messenger bag might be a wonderful addition for her to keep all her treasure.  How was your weekend?

See you soon.

    Now why am I thinking that if you make a treasure bag you just might put some treasure in it?! You will make a little girl very happy and very excited with or without the messenger bag.

    Absolutely beautiful. I love how you've made the scarf out of the main fabric and the lining for a contrast, a beautiful ensemble, Honey will look fabulous in it.

    It's a lovely outfit. The matching hat and scarf add that extra touch. Love the crocheted flowers and interesting buttons. I think your husband has been busy with the paintbrush on the coat hanger and you've prettied that up too. Wishing you a good week.

    BRAVO on the coat, scarf and hat, my friend! I can't wait for Honey to see it and try it on.. what a treasure for her. I think a special bag to hold them is a great idea, she can store all of them together over the summer. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

    It is stunning, people would pay a fortune for that in a shop especially with the tweed. The whole set is just gorgeous you must be so happy with it. I also love how you finish off your gifts with an individual coat hanger too. x
