Sunday Summary - Knitting and Sewing over the last week.

The productive theme continues.

Emily is modelling a Christmas dress 

The back does up with three buttons.

A Christmas Jumper/Sweater modelled by Susan.

It sparkles in the sun!

Does up at the back with a half opening and three buttons.

Maddison says this dress is a keeper for sure!

It goes perfectly with her pink boots.  

Next up some sewing.... 

Emily models this fun Christmas dress - can't believe how fast this time of year is!

Sophia looks pretty in the blue snowman dress.

Maddison is modelling the Christmas Village dress - this is already sold.

Again she is modelling another dress (yes I know the pink boots don't go with the dress, but try telling Maddison that!)

Emily in green snowflakes.

Some non-Sasha knitting..

Matilda (who I think will become Tilly) is wearing a dress knitted for her just in time for Peggy Sue's birthday party.   She has been in a box for a whole year so was very pleased to be let out, although was rather tentative...

There is much excitement here at Rose Cottage as we approach December and the annual opening of the Advent Calendar...I wonder what it will be this year?!

Sunday Summary - this week's knitting and sewing..

Henry is pleased to have a new sweater - it is his little Ruru (or Morepork) sweater and he is going to have a hat to match it.

'Ball Game' jacket.  Knitted with some of my lovely New Zealand Merino wool

Some new balls of yarn were bought (even though I am supposed to be using my 'stash' only, this variegated wool is such fun)

Of course once bought, I couldn't wait to start knitting with it.

A Christmas sweater

A dress for Maddison.  She thinks this will be a fabulous dress to wear to Peggy Sue's birthday party.

'Mango Sunrise' this dress is available to purchase - will be on my 'Muriel Makes' Facebook page as well as in my Etsy shop (or can be purchased direct from me via my blog)

The light is so bad at the moment it is difficult to get the true colours to show.

Here is another picture of the dress on Sophia.

'Lime Sorbet' another little dress available to purchase.

Peggy Sue's birthday party dress - she was allowed to try it on briefly for size.  

I have also been busy sewing - although I think it was this that gave me a huge pain flare up earlier in the week.  Must work out what I am doing to cause it.

Five more Christmas dresses have been cut out and are currently 'in progress' - pacing myself with these ones to avoid another pain flare up.

Lastly my Secret Santa Swap has been made and is on its way...

Sunday Summary - Knitting & Sewing

 Another busy week knitting with a bit of sewing thrown in.

Rainbow cardigan.

Lovely soft yarn and a fun bright and cheery colour for winter.

I made this mini skirt

Which looks great with the rainbow cardigan.

I can see I will have to make another of these cardigans so Maddison can keep one for herself to go with the skirt.

I've made some new waistcoats and finished three that needed completing.

I have also got two pairs of trousers and four dresses almost finished,

Continuing on with the knitting

This purple dress is something a little different and I think it looks great.

Maddison just refuses to take off her pink boots!

This dress was knitted for an order and is now on its way to the lucky Sasha.

Another dress (photo taken in poor light!)

It also fits Peggy Sue (16-17 inch Schoenhut Miss Dolly)

A yellow dress for Peggy Sue

I knitted a cardigan to go with the dress as it is too cold at this time of year to just wear a sleeveless dress, but the bright and cheery colours will remind her of summer time.

This time a winter dress for Peggy Sue.  As I had sold the other apricot dress I promised her I would knit her another one and thought I would knit long sleeves.

I added a beret, and I think Peggy Sue is pretty pleased with it.

Most of the clothes I show on here are available to purchase either directly from me, on my Muriel Makes Facebook page, or in my Etsy shop
