Now I'm under no pressure to sew, no urgent gifts to be made, of course I'm feeling a little creative again. I've not touched my sewing machine for almost a month, so I've just spent some time fiddling about making coasters:
I love a bit of embroidery in front of the telly this time of year.
they're gorgeous, I'm just itching to do some sewing, isn't it funny how now the pressures off we feel creative!

They look lovely Lina! After all the pressure I was under to sew before Christmas I am really enjoying knitting now! I'm sure I will start sewing again soon though. Have a happy new year. Lucy x

Those are really lovely - woe betide the person who leaves coffee rings on them! Isn't it great just to be able to knit and sew for fun again?
Oddly enough I've been making coasters this weekend. And tea cosies :-)

I'm with you - I've been all about knitting garter stitch cotton washcloths these days - so cathartic after the holidays. Happy New Year!

It's nice to have time to start (and maybe even finish) all those projects I was thinking about while I was sewing for Christmas. Embroidery is perfect--slow and quiet. Yours is beautiful.
