January's Fully Finished Objects

The lovely Rachel, Ten Hour Stitcher, is hosting Fully Finished Objects again in 2025. It's a super chance for us to show and tell about the crafty items we have completely finished.

Thank you Rachel, your FFO prompt each month really helps me finish my projects instead of them still in my project folders. I'm hoping to get a few UFO's finished this year. I love the new SAL photo, thank you.


I stitched these lovely characters as part of the Christmas gifts for my lovely friends at Needlecraft Haven. I'll tell you more in my Gifted Gorgeousness post on the 15th... cute aren't they?
 

I had so much (and still have) felt from Mum's and wool that I decided to have a go at making gnomes. I made one each for the wine tasters (details in my other blog), one for everyone at Needlecraft Haven and two smaller ones for DD and DS's GF. I'm hoping to make quite a few for the craft fair at scouts next year.


I finished three of the Seasonal Challenge designs on Needlecraft Haven for 2024, the final one I used for my 2024 Orts Ornie, it's stuffed with all my orts saved in my bon-bon jar.





My first stitch and finish of 2025 is this lovely robin bookmark. It was a kit that my friend Julie had and after stitching she passed the chart and unused threads onto me. I had just enough apart from the blue which I managed to match as there was no colour code. The few threads left made a great fringe.


My final Fully Finished Object for January is my Pensee Positive from Jardin Prive. I stitched this in 2019 and have had the frame since 2022 but just didn't get round to mounting it. 


My 2025 plans are to get stuff made up, recycled and/or used.... no more keeping just in case either!
