Do you remember I started Wild Olive's Autumn Stitching Club back in September? Well I've finished! After stitching (and blogging about) thirteen autumn-themed patterns, I turned them into hexagons, made sixteen little hexagons from patterned fabric and sewed myself a cushion cover. A lot of work has gone into this little cushion, and I'm so pleased with it. It's not exactly autumn right now, but

You guys, I love themed clothes. I have so many glittery dresses and sequined trousers that I bring out at christmas time, but I realised the other day that I don't own any christmas jumpers. From Saturday I'm expected to go to work in fancy dress (yay!) so I thought I'd whip up a snowman jumper.

Pattern eleven of Wild Olive's Autumn Stitching Club is this cute smiley leaf! Colourful leaves are probably one of my favourite things about autumn, although they are looking a little more soggy and a little less crisp at the moment. I don't think it's autumn anymore!
I only have two more of these patterns to stitch until they become a cushion cover. At the moment, I stitch these in front of Homeland
