Want it Wednesday: Puzzler

Just a mini showcase this week of puzzles. I happened to spend some of my time over the weekend completing a puzzle that I had knocking about for years, not sure why I decided it was the best use of my time? But I have to admit. I do love a puzzle. So here are a few puzzles I have come across, handmade naturally...

Little Saturday Crafting

Whilst my shoulders still feel really sore at the moment, it wasn't going to hold me back today, I wanted to carry on stitching, so I cracked on with a couple of small projects, till I feel ready to get back to the slate frame. I am off later today to see a very good friend of mine whose going to look at my shoulders and see what the issues are, and she's also just completed a several years in the making course, huzzah. I wanted to take a little something to celebrate this, so I delved into my favourite cross-stitch book and whipped up a little dotty heart in suitable Jenny colours, and turned it into a tag for a wrapped gift. I think I will be making a few more of these to adorn Christmas gifts because nothing beats a tag that actually can be kept.

I also finished another bauble and listed it today, in rather glam red and gold. With one complete in this colour way I really should make a few more, especially if I am aiming to do a Christmas market this year, though with dodgy shoulders I am getting behind with other projects....so we'll have to wait and see.


Really, really love this book


Can't beat brown paper.

A little square which I simply sewed through stranded cotton, almost turning into a slider and tied it round the package, which means it can be used for something else, she's a crafty lady too.


Another project, but this is about as much as I am going to show at the moment, as this is for another special friend of mine, fingers crossed I get this worked in time, again it's from the same cross stitch book as the heart was. 

Tomorrow I hope to have a little Halloween tutorial, something silly, hope you all have a good day.
