Well My Lovelies, it's been a busy day.........
Mr Bea fetched Clarice back from the doctors today, it's no wonder she hadn't been stitching very well, her timing was out, her wheel was stuck.....the repair man said she really wasn't being used enough, so guess what I'll be doing more of in the future!
I finished this, I will reveal more after Christmas, as its a present! I've also been indulging in a little (actually a lot!) of Pom Pom making....
Turning this.....into these!
It really is like magic! They do make me smile!
I've been turning some granny squares into lavender bags too.
Minnie's been busy too......sleeping!
I hope everyone is well and enjoying the lead up to the festive season! Thank you for popping by, I'll pop over to see you all before Christmas....see what you're up too, no doubt it will be creative, colourful, and Christmassy!
I've been trying to pop over to say hello to some new commenters, but google+ hasn't let me, and I'm not sure why! I will try again over the holidays.
Bye for now,
Ada :) xxx

Lovely pompoms!
ReplyDeleteI am utterly hopeless at pompom making ... they sort of implode, every time I try. But I did string together some little felt hearts today :)
Love all your colourful creativeness!

Love the pom poms they always make me smile. I find Google often puts a gremlin or two in my computer, just to annoy me! Truth be told I'm not good when computers don't do what they should do. I usually try another day and it's usually fine! Flissx
ReplyDeleteyour creative corner looks lovely! the pompom garlands are gorgeous and fun. Unfortunately my pom poms came to a rather sad end and I was too upset to blog about it!! yours look lovely all strung together there. Heather x

Ah, the life of a cat. Blissful indeed. The pompom garland is wonderful. I might see if we can rustle one up here.
ReplyDeleteso gorgeous! i was trying to describe your tree to a friend the other day, i look again and see i still didn't do it justice even though i oooed and aahhhhhed like crazy! xxxxxx
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that your sewing machine is well again, you are right, you will just have to use her more. At least it was something that could be fixed! I see that you too have sucummed to the pom pom garlanding - it looks great. I will have to remember these for next year! Happy Christmas to you and yours and Happy Sewing to you! xx
ReplyDeleteAs you know, pompoms are magical!!!!! ;oD
ReplyDeleteReally love your crochet present : curious to know what it is!!!!
Happy Sunday Ada, xxxxx Ale
Ada, the pom pom garlands are so adorable! Also love all the things you have done, the lavender bags especially. I am going to make them v v soonn.. Happy holidays to you and hope your crochet Christmas presents are well loved :)
ReplyDeleteLove your pom pom garlands, Ada. I remember being obsessed with making them (and tassles!) when I was about 10. Also love the idea of turning spare granny squares into lavender bags. I have so many left over/reject granny squares that it would be nice to find a use for them.
ReplyDeleteGlad Clarice is on the mend x
ReplyDeletegood to hear the machine is feeling better after its visit to the Dr. Great pom poms. I also have problems with google + sometimes it opens but not always but if I go back later I can usually get in
ReplyDeleteIt must be such a hardship knowing that you need to do a lot more sewing with those pretty vintage sheets!
ReplyDeleteLove your machien cover!
ReplyDeletepom poms are the smiles of the yarn world!
ReplyDeleteThe granny square lavender bags are a great idea!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your sewing time with Clarice and have a very happy Christmas!-

Loving your pom poms. I do enjoy making them too. Looking forward to seeing done more action from your sewing machine and love the sweet lavender bags, very sweet. Xoxo
ReplyDeleteSo glad Clarice is sorted, I had to get a friend round to look at mine coz she was playing up and driving me bonkers! Mellow seasonal greetings.. Cx
ReplyDeleteLove the lavender bags - an idea for 2014 methinks! Enjoy and see you on the other side x
ReplyDeleteHooray for Clarice - now you've got no excuse to spend all day every day by her side ;) I'm with you on the pom poms - treated myself to those magic pom pom makers and have been churning them out ever since! The crochet looks fab - look forward to the big reveal x Jane
ReplyDeleteI love your sewing machine cover! Merry Christmas, Ada!
ReplyDeleteLove that you have named the sewing machine - and glad she is well again. Your cat Minnie (so cute!) sleeps exactly like our Mrs Black, who we call Minnie. With that leg stuck out. Enjoy Christmas! x
ReplyDeleteI love your cheery pompom garlands. Glad you have Clarice back fit and healthy! Look forwards to seeing what you make with her - strictly under Dr's orders. Merry Christmas! Jille x
ReplyDeleteOh Ada you have a pom pom maker. I have been making them too, just with cardboard though. I love making pom poms!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely Christmas, so glad you decided to stick around x
Hello Ada, my lovely! You've already popped over to me, thanks for your lovely comments ... I love all your Christmas craftiness, it's just gorgeous, there are some lucky people out there, the receivers of your wonderful handmade gifts. So much more special than just going into a shop and buying something. I'm also having the same trouble with Google, I don't really know what to do either and don't want new commenters to think I'm ignoring them!
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous time Ada Bea, and looking forward to hearing all about your Christmas!
Love Claire xx
I love pom poms too as they are just make you smile. I've treated myself to some makers and what a blessing they are for making both the round and the heart ones. I love following your blog with the colourful makes, lavender and dozing cat. It also made me laugh that your sewing machine is guilt tripping you and I hope my very new one doesn't get wind of this.
ReplyDeleteVery glad that Clarice is better! And I love those pom poms - I'm hoping that Santa might bring me a pom pom maker - I'd love to make some garlands - they look so colourful and happy - right up my street! I hope you have a wonderful relaxing Christmas! xx
ReplyDeleteYour Pom pom's made me smile so bright and cheerful. Just popped over to wish you a very Happy Christmas. Sarah x
ReplyDeleteHey busy girl! What wonderful fruits form your labours, love the idea of the granny square lavender bags!!
ReplyDeleteI have the pom pom bug too. They look adorable.
ReplyDeleteI love your pompoms. I really want to buy a maker for myself, maybe after the holidays. I hope you and your family have a lovely Christmas!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous - I especially love the pom poms! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year! :)
ReplyDeleteOooooo lovely makes & creativity floating through your house! Imagine that all your Clarice needed was to be more productive! Perfect remedy ;) The pom-pom garland is pure delight Ada! Have a very Merry Christmas & Happy New Year with your family :) Wendy xox
