Welcome to this week's Finish for the Weekend, it would be lovely if some of you wanted to join in, see below for instructions :)
Sorry I'm a bit late this week, its been a busy couple of days. Anyway, here I am now with another Finished Object - hurray! I had a rummage around my abandoned projects drawer, and found half a ball of lovely red, white and blue Lily's Sugar N Cream cotton that I'd won in a giveaway a couple of years ago, and of which the other half had been hooked into a circle - what it was going to be I have no idea!
I decided just to add a couple more rounds and use it as a table-mat thingy on my kitchen table, it matches my spotty tablecloth quite well don't you think ?
It also goes well with my red "Juice" jug/vase which was a £1 bargain from the charity shop, I love how bright red it is, sort of a proper Red red if you know what I mean. (Just hope no-one ever tries to drink juice from it as I only ever use it as a vase - bleurgh)
There we go, looking lovely :)
What have you finished for the weekend ?
Til next time,
Jill xxxxx

Looks great, love the bold colours. I was hoping to have 1 sock finished but unpicked some at the toe as it was obvious it was going to be too short. I did throw out the option to my husband that he could just cut off his toes but... anyway, I'll add another inch before decreasing. I've lost count how many trying on sessions he's had. A great idea btw to open this up to others. Have a good week. Cathy x
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely and goes perfectly with your red vase/jug. I finished a red, white and blue twin sized blanket for a friend in a nursing home this week. It took me about 1 1/2 weeks to make. Have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Betsy
I love red/white n blue so this is a good finish! I do like it with your vase, too!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see you again.. I lost all my blog list a while back and have slowly been rebuilding it.. you're back on it!! *H*A*P*P*Y* * *B*I*R*T*H*D*A*Y*!*!*!* to your darling little girl! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteYour pretty mat looks very cheerful and patriotic at the same time, I'm sure it will be very useful too. Have a good week. x
ReplyDeleteCute! Isn't it nice when your FO's are immediately handy.
ReplyDeleteYour vase coaster is really nice. It is so satisfying to have a motivator like a link up and the added bonus of finishing things that are unfinished. I will join in soon with a link maybe next week if I finish a little baby cardigan I started last night. Jo x
ReplyDeleteIt looks really good underneath the stunning juice jug, the perfect container for flowers.
ReplyDeleteYour jug and the table mat complement each other so well!
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog via Mama's Mercantile and have to say I love the idea of a finish product blog party! I'm joining in. Thanks for hosting this lovely party.
ReplyDeleteWay to go! I'm having fun thinking of my finishes for future Fridays! Thanks, Jill!
