WOYWW 713

Hi, I hope I have the right week number. 

Here’s my final green man

It was ready for his birthday and he says he likes it. 

I’m struggling a bit with a pain that radiates down from my cheek bone. I’ve checked with my dentist and my teeth are ok. I’m waiting for an appointment with my surgery. It could be some form of neuralgia. 

We had a nice treat this week. My goddaughter sent us some Potteries oatcakes from Stoke. 

We eat them with bacon, cheese, tomato and spring onion. A real treat. 

Gracie and Bella send purrs to you all. 

And finally…

Take care and happy WOYWW

WOYWW 711 The Green man

Hi all, I’m back again for our weekly bloghop c/o  The stamping-ground

My desk is much as last week except for the extra leaves. 

I’ve woven the ends in but I think the slipover needs a few more leaves near the bottom and on the shoulders. When I said it at first Brian said it would turn him into the green man but agreed after I showed him this photo. 

Bella is helping by modelling the leaves. 

I had a nice day out on Saturday. I joined Ethelburga Quilters making about 150 heart shaped cushions for breast cancer patients in East Kent hospitals. I was on the stuffing and sew up squad.

Bella and Gracie send purrs to you all. 

And finally…

I’m sure I’ve posted this one before but it always gets me

Take care all and happy WOYWW

WOYWW 710 Crochet organiser

Hi all,

I made my crochet hook organiser quickly, without the instructions as I mislaid them till I’d finished. 

It has transformed my desk from this:

To this:

I’m very pleased with it, and have ordered some little tins to better organise the pins and jump rings on the shelf. 

Bella and Gracie much appreciate that Dreamies are still part of the organised desk!

I’ve just got to weave the ends in on B’s slipover so that will be ready to show you next week. 

I’ve become interested in a new yarn, Louisa Harding’s Pittura in the shade Frida Kahlo. It’s sadly discontinued but I’ve found some on eBay. 

It’s better in herringbone stitch (upper half) rather than half trebles. 

And finally…

Take care and happy WOYWW

WOYWW 709 Happy new year!

Hi all, 

Back for our first blog hop via Julia’s Stamping Ground of the new year. I hope you’ve all had a good break and wish you all the best for the new year. 

We had a quiet time with Bella and Gracie. 

I’ve made some progress with B’s birthday present. I’ve sewn on the leaves

I have to do the rib for the armholes- it takes ages and I tend to tense up and end up with a bad shoulder. 

I’m experimenting with a yarn guide ring. I think it’s helping but who knows?

This is it. 

I’m taking the Xmas decorations down today so I’ll then be able to show you my new desk with the crochet hook organiser, I hope!

Gracie and Bella send purrs to you all and especially to your cats. 

And finally …

Take care and happy WOYWW
