Sewing, crocheting, baking and a new project

Let's start with the sewing. I have assembled all 6 of the "rows" for Windows into my World.

 Next is connecting the rows together. The directions say to stitch an inch on either side of all of the intersections of one seam and then go back and stitch in between. This may take some time, but I am really enjoying working on this.

I have been crocheting a little cat for my new granddaughter. I don't like it. It looks more like a mouse's head on a tiny body. 

 I haven't yet attached the head and tail to the body. I will finish it, but I think I will make something else to give to her. I recently made a little lamb that was cute. I think that is what I will be making.

I made some Hot Cross Buns yesterday. 

It was a new recipe that didn't seem to come together as I expected. Then again, I had never made them previously. Hubby asked for some without raisins. The buns are tasty, but a little dense. Making yeast doughs are not my forte. That is for sure.

Since the Woodland Babies birth announcement is finished, I have decided to start on the Christmas ornament for my new granddaughter. It is this Mill Hill Charming Santa.

I have made two of these already. One for her brother and one for my other granddaughter. My son and his wife haven't decided on a Christmas stocking yet so I figured I should start on this instead. 

The only update on the Royal Squares quilt is that I have decided to remove the yellow border and just finish the quilt as it was originally meant to be. Even adding borders will not make this quilt into what I wanted now. I have been avoiding working on it as I realised I was just not happy with the yellow border...or any border for that matter. Looking back, I only started to make this quilt to use the jelly roll that I had purchased. It was not meant to be a bed quilt and it won't be. I will finish it and save it to either use, gift or donate. 

I have some hyacinth in bloom as well as some tulips. 

I love Spring flowers.

 I will be joining Kathy for some Slow Sunday Stitching and Frederique at the Quilting Patch. Make yourself some tea or coffee and pop on over to their sites to see what other bloggers are stitching. 

Thanks for stopping by!
