Working towards a Green Christmas

A Freshly Found update - I am so happy with my beautiful now-white chest of drawers that came back inside today.  
A recent vintage-colourful-striped-jersey find has been repurposed into 8 happy Christmas Stockings! 

A previously-loved cricket pullover has been made into some textured, cabled Christmas hearts
And I have been crocheting flowers to decorate red and white dishcloth linen hearts too.  The yarn is South African, hand-dyed and an absolute pleasure to work with.
Right in the middle of all this Christmas rush, we are going away for a few days to the Drakensberg.  I will be taking my crochet with, and hope to get quite a bit done in time for the next i♥market!
