Squirrels, distractions.....

 whatever you want to call them is what happened yesterday. :) Rather than working on what i should have been.

I'd been thinking for a while to make a peanut pillow but kept forgetting to look for the pattern. I saw something Tuesday night that reminded me so out came the pattern. Cue son listening to me & looking & next thing i know i'm making him one as well. :) :)

He loves black & red


for me it's purple

A few weeks a go i saw a post about using rubber matting & fabric to make snazzy jar openers. Hmm i happened to have a long sheet of rubber sheeting hanging about.
4 jar openers later & still enough sheeting to make more. Very quick & simple. The runner sheeting was from the cheapie store.

I did do one thing that needed to be finished

 put the binding one & now it's all done ready for Christmas.

I have to get my peanut pillow back out now & youngest daughter now wants one. lol.

Happy Stitching,

Nice and usual distractions, Jeanette. Congratulations on getting finishing the Christmas piece.

Mum used to make those peanut cushions for fetes, back in the day and Jo gave us all a jar opener like that at Scrub Stitchin’ last year. I’m surprised how well it works. The recipients will be pleased.

Your jar openers sounds such a great idea Jeanette as I am having trouble opening some jars now. What do you use the peanut pillows for - I've not come across those before?
