Come Fly With Me

We didn't have the quiet New Year in together as planned.  Friends from Church phoned to invite us to their party, we decided to go and had a wonderful Hogmanay.  The first of many more celebrations on this beautiful Island.  It is another bank holiday here where everything is quiet and nothing open, a wonderful time of reflection and future planning. 

I love a list so I have made a start on the list of crafty creations I wish to complete this year.  One of them was a wonderful owl cushion that I found in an old issue of Simply Crochet, issue 11.

So come fly with me indeed, a start was made before Christmas...

...using some oddments of Aran yarn from previous projects.

It really did crochet up very quickly and was stitched together using a blanket stitch.

Sadly I didn't have a round cushion inner so I am using a square one at the moment.  Not really a good look, but will suffice for now.  A round inner is on the list for next time I go shopping.

So although started in 2017, it is the first finish for 2018.  A cushion all ready for the pew that is on the list for renovation once the outbuilding is done.

Many thanks for all your comments and well wishes for the New Year, they are all so much appreciated.

See you soon.
