And this will be my last CTTY post for the year as I think I have completed all my Christmas stitching!
Many thanks to Anthea for keeping us on our toes this year - you can see what other people have been up to on her blog

I have finished two more wheat bags
and a couple more crazy hearts.
Then I decided that it was time for a Christmas gift for me! I love this Mouse Pincushion pattern by Natalie Bird and bought the pattern last year when I finally tracked down a copy in the UK. But that is as far as it went. Now seemed like a great time to make it.
And here is my completed pincushion.
I adapted the pattern to suit me as I don't do wool applique - instead I embroidered the large mouse and flower on the side panel.
I also swapped the felt ball on the top for a loop - filled with crushed walnut shells this is quite a hefty pin cushion and the loop makes it easy to move around.
I used some of my favourite Tilda fabric and this dusky pink spot which sadly has now all been used up.
The pattern even includes some of my favourite hexies! These are 3/4".
So that's me done for this year - I already have a few ideas for 2017 so watch this space!
