A bit of stitching

I made this years ago when I was living in Christchurch. I got the pattern from a library book. I think it was an Australian Women's Weekly book. It still looks as pristine as the day I made it. I put this down to good-quality felt. In case you were wondering, it's a hanging. I had to photo it like that as it is too long to do any other way. I was thinking - I love making things, but what do I do with the completed items? My husband is dreading me taking up pottery.
