WOYWW



Good morning to all my WOYWW friends around the globe and to anyone else who drops in to see what I am up to!

I have had a really crafty week and enjoyed everything I have done.

Firstly, I finished off a couple of twiddlemitts. The photos show the front and back of my seaside version ....it has 3 fish, fishing net and a treasure box with gold buttons stitched inside.

and then the poppy fields one....





 I love the colours and textures and hope they bring as much joy to the patients, suffering from dementia, who receive them.

AND then I managed to get some lovely soft, viscose fabric to make another wrap around skirt.
It looks really smart and I think my friend will love it.


So that's my lot for this week.
Keep well and stay safe!

xx Jo

That is indeed a pretty fabric for the wrap round skirt Jo. The twiddle mitts are gorgeous too. Stay safe and happy WOYWW. Sarah #8.

You don’t hang about do you! That skirt does look lovely, well done on the fabric find, it’s not easy choosing for someone else is it. You know I’m a fan of your twiddle mits, so nice to see something that a patient can twiddle and a carer can talk about, sometimes conversation can be a bit lacking but these can be used solo or in company. great stuff Twiglet, hope you know that.

How lovely that you have enjoyed all your crafting this week, I think it shows! Your muffs are fantastic as always, I love the detail you put it and the skirt is so lovely, I'm going to attempt to make some clothing, maybe not this week though.

Your work is always so detailed and beautiful and I'm sure the recipients will enjoy twiddling the twiddle mitts! The little treasure chest is so sweet too - in fact I want to pick them up and explore them myself!
The fabric you found for the skirt is lovely - you did really well finding that for your friend.
Hope you have a great week,

Love the twiddle mitts and such an amazing concept. The skirt is very pretty. I'm thinking of making a "house" dress to hang around in at home. Have the fabric...have the pattern...just need to get motivated :)

I've never seen or heard of fiddle mitts before but I absolutely adore them! They are such beautiful works of art but they also sound so useful too - I bet they make a world of difference to the people who get them. Have a great week, Lisa-Jane #23

Nice pattern on the fabric of the skirt, I am sure it will be well loved. But it is the twiddle mitts I like most of all. How clever to do a fishing one, I can see that being so much fun for someone with dementia but it is the poppy one I like the best. you know me and poppies. I still wear yours each Remembrance Day and just make a donation in the box. That will be loved especially for the bright red poppies and will certainly be a talking point for the carers and the person wearing it.
You are so good Jo.
Hugs, Neet xx
