WOYWW 624 Happy silk anniversary!

I looked up 12th anniversaries and one option is for it to be the silk anniversary. Very nice! I’ve used silk as one of my themes for the ATCs. 

I was thinking this week about what WOYWW means to me, so here’s a little poem I’ll be putting into envelopes along with a postcard and my ATC. Let me know if you’d like to swap ATCs, unless we’ve already exchanged addresses. 

It’s called The WOYWW Wheel. If you have comments or examples you’d like me to add, put them in the comments below. I’m not putting in names, just examples, though love and loss clearly includes Shaz, and you may recognise others. 

Here’s my desk with ATCs in progress. 

I’ve received a couple of ATCs already, from Jan:

and from Caro, with some pretty stickers(not sure of the correct term):

Many thanks, both of you xx. Yours are on their way. 

Apart from ATCs, I’ve not done a lot of crafting this week. 

Crochet 

I have an idea for a lightweight cardigan, based on the 4 ply wool I didn’t use for those tortuous figure of eight gloves. It’s based on big granny squares, alternating with plainer, textured squares. I’ll see if it works. 

Once I started to do a textured square in linen stitch, I’ve really fallen for the woven texture of it, but it’s a dense stitch and slow to crochet. That might change the way I go. 

Adventures in writing

My story about the traveller boy, Jojo, falling for Ellyn’s new assistant at the flea market was well received. I was pleased our tutor said I have an ear for teenage dialogue. Goodness knows from where! (I don’t have children but I do have 6 wonderful godchildren). I’ve now to write about a rival, as evil as possible! Channelling Iago (cue evil laugh!)

Cat story 

Thea has had a very sleepy week. She’s very sensible and doesn’t go out much in the rain. 

Here she’s trying to “Purrsuade” me not to get up. 

And finally...,

Have a great celebration of WOYWW 12, all, take care and keep crafting!

Hugs
