Spent some time quilling ornaments.

I've gotten into quilling for a couple days. I made seven ornaments to share with you guys.

Possible alterations for a wide-ass scarf?

[azerbijahn.livejournal.com]

Hello ladies! (and gentlemen?) I'm hoping for some advice from the experienced knitters here. I started this "scarf" as a Christmas present for my Gran:



It's my first attempt at knitting something other than a tension square and I just went at it freehand. Probably a mistake as I've ended up with a 26 inch WIDE scarf that's only seven inches long. What a rookie! I still have, erm, this much wool left:



So, I was wondering if any of you lovlies could advise on something else I could make this into, because I don't think it's going to end up as a workable scarf and the only other use I can think of for it would be a rather unexciting pot holder. The simpler the better, because I'm a novice although my mother's recently taken up knitting and is miles better than I am, so she could help me with anything not too finicky.

Thanks for your time <3 Cross-posted to knitting

DECOUPAGE ON CHAIRS

Honestly, for two days I was looking at these chairs next to our garbage bin. Finally, decided to adopt them.  I wanted to give them an "old Asia" feeling without "wants to look real" ))).

A home made Christmas!

[voyageofdreams.livejournal.com]

For the last 2 months I have been working a putting together a 'Home made Christmas' for my family and friends.  I am so proud, I still have some baking (Christmas cookies) and cooking to do (a huge Christmas day meal) but for the most part I am done and completely organised.

And now for the spoils of my hard work, which my family will enjoy this Christmas:

A waldorf doll for each of my girls.  100% natural materials, 100% hand made


( More home made christmas goodies this way )

And now I'm completely too excited to see the reaction of my family when they open the gifts I have made them on Christmas morning.  :)
