That time has flown by and here we are, all ready to take a sneaky peek at everyone's work desks again.
A win/win situation. I get to keep busy each evening with a bit of happy knitty fun and they feel good about donating to the food bank. The little children that pass my window, where I display them, love to look at them and count them all!.
I decided to use an idea that seems quite popular at them moment - a little fabric rainbow. I stitched it on to some blue linen and then made a needlecase to keep in the lounge. This replaced a scrap of felt that I had been using to store my big darning needle for stitching up my knitty items!
And lastly just a few flower pics to share with you.
Some lovely tulips that my niece gave me.
And my beautiful clematis tucked beside a fragrant broom bush. Annie gave me the clematis a few years ago - its called Josephine and has gone from strength to strength - I love it!
Well that's it for this week.
I hope you are well and keeping safe.
Have a good week.
xx Jo

Hello Jo. I just love the nurse mates. Clever you. The tulips and the clematis look lovely. Anne X
What a brilliant idea with the nurse mates Jo. Love the needle case too. It looks like a very fragrant area of you garden with that Clematis. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #7
Josephine is gorgeous, just like you! Bet that broom is chucking out the scent, my garden is amazing at the moment which I'm really pleased about considering it's less than two years old! Love the idea of the little dolls and what a brilliant outcome for all concerned, well done Jo. And guess what my tapestry needles are kept it - not a gorgeous little case like your's, that's for sure.....grin!!!

Knitted nurses are the cutest and such a clever idea to then swapped for a tin for the Food bank. Lovely way of showing care and having fun. Tulips and clematis are stunning makes me want to break out the paints again. Stay safe as you create.

ooh I love that idea for the nurses. You are so clever , I can just about knit a scarf!!. You clematis look beautiful, mine have finished flowering now - they did look stunning all over my garage roof but make such a mess after . Have a lovely week. Soojay #27
I love the little nurse mates....they made me smile when we called in at the weekend.....keep up the good work. I'm sure Josephine causes many smiles....in more ways than one :-)

Hi Jo! It's been too long but I'm so glad to see you are still sharing on your blog. I have missed seeing your stitched creations. I love the little needle keeper, a great use for some more rainbow love. Best wishes, Lisa-Jane (#23)
Hi Jo, the little nurse dolls are fab, and what a great way to raise stuff for the food banks too.Love your Clematis, I have a few and I think that one is among them. One of my favourite flowers.Have a great week, Stay safe, Hugs, Shaz #17 X
That's a great idea with the Nurse mates, they all look so cute lined up like that. The clematis is beautiful and lovely that is shares it's name with you. My friends little boy told me he grew Diana radishes - not quite as glamorous as your clematis!
Hope you have a good week

Your clematis is beautiful, no wonder you love it - and the tulips are so pretty and like a rainbow in your home.
But pride of place has to be the little figures, you really are a star - that is a lovely idea of yours. I started getting those Government parcels but stopped them - the tinned goods that came are all in the garage awaiting the first time Chas goes out (which will probably be July 1st when he takes me to the hospital for my pace check) when we will drop them at the food bank. We got them for three weeks so there was a fair amount we can donate. Afraid that is all I can offer at the moment but if I get some more cards done I will drop them at the hospital shop for nurses etc to pick up.

Your little figures are stunning - so adorable and just perfect for this time. We have a local collection for our foodbank so try and drop things off every week. Happy WOYWW. Stay safe my friend, and I hope you have a good week. With love & God Bless, Caro x (#4)

Those nurse mates are really lovely Jo what a great idea regarding swaps for food bank tins and the rainbow needlecase is fabulous, you can never have too many in my opinion. Happy woyww hugs Tracey #16 x
What a lovely needlecase-I love the applique. The little dolls are So cute and you are a really quick knitter to have made so many. Catriona

Oh how sweet your window display, a collective of care! Love the donation idea Jo, very thoughtful of you. What a great ‘souvenir’ of these strange times one of these Nurses will make. The Josephine clematis is a beauty, lovely big flowers, I like the fact that it sits like a bush rather than a rather leggy stem before climbing. I’m surprised you don’t see my needle case made by you on my desk more often, its a permanent feature. Actually ‘feature’ cant be right word can it...but it is there, filled with decorative headed pins and useful pointy things; bet your darning and mending needle will be so much easier to locate now that you just have to look for the rainbow!
Your little nurses are just adorable, Jo! What a great idea, and doing good with the food bank too. Well done. Gorgeous garden and flower photos too.
Happy belated WOYWW,
