WOYWW 616 Little boxes, little boxes

Hi all, back again for a Wednesday bloghop care of Julia at The Stamping Ground
I’ve something reminiscent of one of your normal desks this week. I’ve been making my origami Chinese thread book. I followed instructions from https://www.paperkawaii.com/origami-chinese-thread-book-video-tutorial/


 


All the boxes except the pink one have two levels of opening. 
I’m going to try to use brads to keep them closed. I’ve yet to make the cover. I’m torn between the lilac patterned origami paper and plain light green paper for the lining. What do you think?


I’ve also crocheted another headband. I’m getting to like this Sheepjes Whirl yarn. It’s from a fine blanket I tried last year and gave up on. Maybe it was just the pattern. I’m now glad one yarn cake never sold. 




Since it was World poetry day this week, here’s my favourite poem, the Seven of Pentacles by Marge Piercy. 

Here’s Thea being super-cute as ever. She goes out a bit (to sharpen her claws? 😏) but still sleeps for most of the day. She’s 10 now after all! 
The  weather has been good enough for walks this week. I try to get back before junior school kicks out. 
The brook through our village, the Nailbourne, is looking low at present. 
In 2000, where it is culverted, the top end of it flooded so that half our main street was under a foot of water. Hard to believe at the moment. 



And finally....
1. For Sarah...
2. For all of us despairing of ever getting a holiday!



Take care, stay safe and keep on crafting!
Hugs
