Late night

I couldn't stay away any longer so I wound my skein into a ball and promised myself I must use the whole lot (1 ball makes 11 small squares) before I go back to the things I'm supposed to be doing. Once that was done I did a bit more on the bag - just waiting for the orange to arrive now.

Here's the WIP.

I then, with the help of JJ (our youngest), made the front of hubby's anniversary card. Just got to put the centre sheet inside now. I'll do that in the morning when he is out.

As I couldn't do anymore on the bag I thought I'd make myself the green brooch that I've been meaning to make for ages. I finished it at 12.15am - should've been in bed but I was determined to get it finished. I love green.

Brooches and a pouch

I finished the pink brooch last night when I should have been in bed - stayed up far too late. Today I have made the phone pouch/case/thing and a blue button brooch. I have put the pink brooch on my coat for now (until I get some more green felt), the blue one is going in the shops.

The phone case is left without the drawstring at the moment until hubby decides whether he actually wants it or not. I managed to get the iron cross right by drawing round one he had (that I had forgotten about until he came home from work). They are stitched on both sides of the case.
