The weather at the moment has taken another wintry turn. With cold southerlies bringing rain, hail, snow and even a tornado!!
Yesterday the view from my wee room looked like this!
Wet, wet, wet.
A good day to stay indoors and sew.
Sew that is what I did.
There was a fair amount of secret stuff going on, but I did get the binding onto this little kiwi table runner, which is not so secret.
Well, not secret from you anyway. LOL
I just used up some charm squares I had rejected from other projects and used a black on black for the sash and outline strips.
I closed the binding last night, but forgot to take a photo and it's already wrapped up and waiting to go to the post office. LOL
A recent start is a knitted hoodie for Floki.
The pattern calls for three different coloured yarns and a set number of rows in each colour. I opted to use a woolly layer cake and achieved a more random colour pattern.
Its knitting up quickly and he may even get it in time for Christmas
I forgot to show you this the other day when I chatted about organising gifts for my grand children.
Claire makes these keys for her crafty stall, I just had to have some and sent them away in the mail the other day.
What a lovely idea, especially in these times when many homes no longer have chimneys.
How else would Santa get in?
And speaking of the craft stall, the blanket I showed as a WIP last time is all done and waiting to go over to Claires place. (Hence the start on the wee hoodie)
During a break in the stormy weather this morning, I took a turn around the garden and found these beauties all blown over, so I cut them and brought them inside.
According to the weather man the stormy weather is set to continue, and I have another day off work, so back into my room it is.

Have fun with your day.

It’s not wet here but very strong westerly winds. They may end up at your place the way they are blowing. I love the idea of the Santa key. I’m sure they will be well receybybthe grandees. Make the most of your time in your wee room.
Wet and cold here, too, but we are appreciating getting some rain.
Lovely to see the finishes with the runner and the blanket.
I like the look of the little hoodie you are knitting.
The flowers look great. Such a pretty colour for an iris.
