Christmas Gift Making

I have been busy getting some last minute gifts completed!

My sister decided she wanted a pyramid door stop...



Firstly, I made myself one as a prototype......



It's filled with rice and dried lavender!

And then I made a slightly larger one for Helen....


I lined this one to make it more sturdy!



Then, yesterday, I whipped up a journal cover for a friend using this tutorial...









And finally, this was 'adapted' from a printed hoop I saw in "Typo" recently!


The heart is a little wonky, naive perhaps.....



I may still add some blanket stitch around the letters and 


 running stitch around the outside edge?


This might, also, be my next giveaway....


Interested?


Happy days!

    Love the pyramid door stop! Aren't you clever! I have one door that refuses to stay open - so weird. The journal cover is very nice and I really like that fabric!!! Your LOVE hoop is adorable - very cute idea :)

    The door stoppers are a great idea and yours look so delightful. Love the covered journal, too.
    Cute little hoop! All those little gifts are falling in to place!

    Love the door stops. You have reminded that I have two little embroidery rings that I bought as display frames. Yours looks great.

    Each of these projects are lovely! I may have to make a door stop like that, I use a book for my sewing room door and yours is much prettier than a book.
