The first thing on my 2014 list of 'Nice Things for Me to Do' wasn't to go anywhere but was to have some sewing/making days at home.
First of all I made a pincushion.
I'd made Fran one for Christmas but couldn't blog about it before Christmas for obvious reasons! They involve a bottle lid (for the base), pretty cotton fabric, cotton velvet, ric-rac and emery grit.
This is the one I made for Fran.
Then I made a necklace from a glass tile, fabric and some velvet ribbon.
I think I'll make some more of these in different colours as they're really easy and effective.
Next I made a new case for my work phone as I managed to lose the previous one a few weeks ago during a muddle of phones ringing, loading the boot and getting into the car!
It has a stripy bottom, is slightly stiffened and has a co-ordinating lining, and I'm really pleased with how it turned out.
I've had a lovely few days, even though I did make a bit of a mess!

Such lovely makes. It's nice to have some guilt free time to yourself to do the things you enjoy.
How lovely - I do wish I was clever with my hands - handmade gifts are always rather special.
That sounds like a lovely few days... with some super results
Oh these are all lovely! What a super way to spend a day. Must get my seeing machine serviced soon so I can start using it again - you've inspired me.
They are all so pretty! I sometimes find small projects are the best to make.
Happy New Year to you! May 2014 be filled with creativity, peace and joy.

What lovely things, especially the glasses case.
