Busy busy!

These are small embroideries for a small project l am working on.
Made new cover for  a chair!
Made these pillows and runner for my daughters new home! And this is Amber guarding hubbywallet, not that there is much in! Those blue eyes are so pretty! Amber is one of 3 cats of  daughter's that moved to our place. The ginger one went  with her to the new place but Amber is at home here! The other cat, Ambers brother, with the short tail eating,
decided to stay at their previous home and kept walking back. So with permission with the new owners he is allowed to stay. Daughter supplies his food. And he is very happy with the arrangement!

Another finish!

l have now used up all my left over wools and gave all the items to our local Child Welfare! It felt great to just give it all away and each item was made with love. 
I decided not to buy anymore wool,  but yes a but, there is so much need in our country for baby stuff that l am having a hard time not responding to it and going out and buying some wool and get a few items to donate. I seem to need a charity project to work on and just be thankful that l am able and have money, to make small contribution to keep someone warm! 
Grrr going to buy some wool tomorrow, but just one ball and lucky for me we have a lovely shop here in town, Holly House, so l can get just one ball of wool at a time!
Have started working on my cross stitching a bit lately and also finished a few UFO's laying around here! 
Am really enjoying my time at slow stitching and have found this cute website and going to enjoy it and see where this stitchers inspiration takes me!
