Bad weather has kept me mostly indoors so I have determined to finish off some of my To Do pile.
Firstly some more Christmas Gift labels. These are great for using up small amounts of linen and take little floss. This time the linen was 34 count so these looked better as square labels
Secondly the Christmas Advent Ornaments. I'm relatively happy that what I planned in my head had transferred into finished product....hopefully the recipient will have space for them on her tree.
Thirdly, the
Frustrating Friendship Quaker. In the end I crocheted links between the 'cushions' and made them into an accordion. There was space at the back of the embroidery cabinet so this has gone there quick smart. The chart for this will be going to a new home. I have no wish to look at it ever again.
Now I have only the cutting of the Hardanger Doily, the contents of the Octagonal Box and then I need to get back to my final shelved-for-a-later-date project.
Sunday afternoon the weather cleared and the DBEM managed to walk down the ramp (she hasn't used the stairs for years) to the car and we went out for a short drive. I was worried about coming back up the ramp to the house but with only one brief rest she managed well and is now snoring gently and happily in her chair!
All in all not bad for a weekends work.

They all look lovely but the Peace ornament especially caught my eye.
The little Christmas labels and ornaments look very pretty.
Love those little ornaments - perfect!
You've been busy Margaret, lots of lovely pieces to show for it. I'm glad your mum managed out for a while, I'm sure it did her good.
I think that one is my favourite too.
Thank you. While the Ornaments are for a specific gift the others go into my box of "just in case" little things I can use for the unplanned but sometimes necessary gifts.
I must admit I was pretty pleased with them.
Thanks Ann. I feel better for having had a productive weekend and admit to being much relieved that Mother is improving.
The calendar and gift tags are soooooooooo cute. The other ...all that tiny stitching, wow made my head hurt. You've been very busy!!

Love the four Advent ornaments, they make a beautiful set together.
Sorry the Quaker gave you so much trouble though!
Nice to see a couple of photos of the DBEM in the previous post too. Glad that you are getting her out and about.
Bad weather seems to work for you, they all look great. And that accordion finish is fantastic!
Thanks. I'm feeling rather house bound at present so being able to finish these was a great boost.
Thanks Jo. The DBEM is improving a lot.
Thanks. I feel satisfied to have these all completely finished.
Great use of a rainy weekend! I love the ornaments. Glad to hear the DBEM is doing better, too!
The DBEM is well on the way to recovery and much more independent now. And this weekend is fine and hot!
