WOYWW 886 Chilled crafts

Hi all, I’m back for our weekly bloghop courtesy of Sarah’s Craftshed
Our art class has finished for the summer now, and there weren’t enough takers for the summer course so it was cancelled. I guess people have holidays etc. I shall have to get painting anyway as our exhibition is September and October this year. There’s also been a request for more Emotional Support Chickens so I’m looking for some nice multicoloured Toy standard yarn. 

My desk, this week, is a little plastic tray on my lap, which gives  Bella space to sleep. She sends you all purrs. 
I think she likes our ProBreeze air cooler as well, which was recommended by our Neet. It blows moisture-cooled air and works better than a fan, especially when we put an ice block in the water tank. 
I’m just playing with felt embroidery at present and don’t have anything to show yet, but I like this Fybrespates ‘Gleem’ embroidery silk. 
I handed over my 10 cannula sleeves and have started to knit more. This one’s 17 inches long, from the pattern of the Handmade for Dementia Facebook group. I’m just starting the lining. 
The pattern for these was created and risk assessed by dementia nurses, with only knitted or crochet twiddles, with shorter than 2” free ends, to avoid choking hazards. 

The weather’s a bit hot for knitting now (over 30deg here) but it won’t last. 
We had a lovely day at the Pilgrim’s Way Art exhibition in the Tithe Barn in Lenham on Friday. We’d arranged to meet an ex-colleague of Brian’s and his wife for lunch, as they live in Lenham, and really enjoyed spending time with them. They took us to a pub near Charing, the Wagon and Horses, which had good food and a lovely garden. 


The exhibition had lots of good art


including paintings by my art tutor, Claire Sparkes. 


And finally…


I’ll be round tomorrow, 
Happy WOYWW
