Mixed Up Saturday



Good Saturday Morning Ladies,

It's a proper Mixed Craft Saturday this week, just look at all of these gorgeous Knitted/Crocheted projects.

First up is of course Janet's 'Mrs Christmas' that we have heard so much about, I can understand why a replacement was a requested by your Granddaughter as she is so lovely, with such a kind face.
Janet used a Jean Greenhowe Pattern to create Mrs Christmas.


Janet's second project is this adorable Cat, I just love her little pick whiskers and lovely pink bow, Janet created her from the 'Cute Critters' book.

Thank you so much Janet for sharing your lovely knitted projects with us, they are amazing XXX

Karen


Karen picked this book up while on a trip away last year, thinking it would complete her collection, although she wasn't planning on using it, I always thought you would use it Karen as the patterns are fantastic.
Well guess what...Karen did use it, creating a Mini-me for a friend, I think it is awesome Karen, I bet your friend loved it, such a honor to have a personalised character made for you!

Thank you so much Karen for sharing your lovely Mini-me with us XXX

      Fantastic makes JANET I think I have that pattern for Mrs Christmas! In fact I think I have a Father Christmas knitted but not sewn up - Another UFO! And your cat is so cute
      I love Kerry Lord’s books and her patterns are easy to follow- a little bit fiddly in places admittedly (I think John L has the doll book on offer or was it actually on TOFT I can’t remember now!?)

    Morning Ladies

    Janet & Karen-what fantastic crocheted projects, they’re all so lovely.

    I’m meeting up with a friend at Dobbies garden centre today (10am) and I have a few things to do before I meet her so I’d better get moving!
    Electrician coming this afternoon to check the extractor fan in the downstairs toilet as it’s just stopped working & it’s not very old.

    Lovely Mixed up Saturday I love seeing what else people get up to as well as their card making
    I love your knitting and crochet JANET
    Thank you MICHELE for the review I like the look of both of these
    My friend loved her ‘mini me’ I was it bit worried at first that she might be offended OH has just off to PARKRUN and whilst he’s out I am going to make a card I started it last night but it’s gone in the bin Trying to make a wobble card with acetate and it just didn’t sit right I think I know where I went wrong So we’ll see!
    Take care all xxx

    Hi Sandra and all in the Cafe today.
    What a lovely Mixed up Saturday of the year. Janet, it not a surprise that you had to replace Mrs Christmas as she is lovely and your cat is so cute. Cream cakes in the cafe...yum. I will be ordering some for Mum and I later on. Sandra and I were only saying on Thursday that you don’t see the selection of cream cakes that there used to be, or proper bakeries either, not around here anyway and Mum has said the same thing too 😞 Maybe it’s a good thing though or we would be tempted too often! Have a good shopping trip x
    Karen, your mini me for your friend is lovely. You are always so clever at getting the facial expressions perfect, even on this simple one. Good luck getting your wobble card done, don’t forget to share it with us please x
    Michele, thank you for the reviews. I have never made a waterfall card so might get that one. Have a good day x
    Lynda, sending big hugs to you x
    Mum, see you later. Love you xx
    I’m hoping Mum and I get to make a card or two this afternoon, to fit the challenge hopefully. Sending love and hugs to you all with extras for all in need. Take care xx
