A Couple of Finishes

Several of these jars with removable centre in the lids were given to me.
I embroidered some little flowers and turned one jar into a pin cushion.
After several attempts to get the cushion part in, I finally succeeded.
 I'll definitely make a couple more of these.
This is an apron I made for Paris to go with the cookbook I bought her for Christmas. Once again I made it out of a tea towel.
Perfect for wiping your hands when cooking!

These are my final finishes for 2017 (unless some miracle happens!).
The boys are off to the cricket tomorrow so I plan to spend the day
sitting on the couch, stitching and watching movies.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.
