This week I managed to finish off my Welsh twiddler. Living near the Welsh border, I thought it was appropriate as lots of the patients at the hospital come in from just over the border.


 I loved making the little Welsh lady and embroidering a tiny red dragon on the flag.

 No comments about my leek please - I got a bit carried away and it is a rather large one!




I have finished off my ATCs and Annie and I have co-ordinated our efforts so that we can save postage and post together. Anyone swapping with us is welcome to send ours to one or other of us and save your postage too - we don't mind and will have a sharing out event when we can.
I will be asking Annie to link me to Julia's blog with an asterisk so that I can do my PIF ATC anyway.

PS

If you have asked to swap ATCs with us, don't forget to let us have your address.

So, that's it for this week.

Looking forward to a bit more "safe socialising" next week.

OMG, that twiddler is brilliant, I adore everything - you have got the details spot on, the Welsh costume, the flag (brilliant dragon btw) and of course when it comes to leeks, then size matters......*wink*
I got back to band last night, it was wonderful, so I hope that your safe socialising goes ahead, it’s good for the soul.

Yes please to swapping with you both! I keep forgetting to say to anyone that I'd love to swap so I'm just going to make loads and see what happens. Of course I love the Welsh twiddler - you did an amazing job on that tricky dragon. And absolutely NO-ONE is going to snigger about "a bit of big one", nobody at all, LLJ I'm looking at you!! Stay safe and keep smiling, Lisa-Jane #4

Wow a Welsh Winner! What a fabulous Twiddlemitt that is. I just love that tiny dragon. You are so skilful and so clever.
I have put my name down with you for an atc (or two) - do you need my address? It hasn't changed.
Hugs, Neet xx

Diana Taylor said...

Wow, that is fabulous - I just love the little flag, and can't believe you embroidered it yourself - I honestly thought you had bought it. Had to laugh at the leek, I guessed Jan would have a comment to make on that!!
Hope you have a great week,

Annie said...

I’m rather late in the day joining in the fun this week. I’ve been head down all day making two very special little bears full of emotions but am thrilled with the results so it’s been very rewarding ( I may share next week).
I’m loving the latest twiddler and just knew Jan would comment on the size of your leek!!
Hugs,

Heather M said...

Hi Jo, oh my goodness - your twiddler brought back a dim and distant memory for me. M nan used to bring me a different Welsh doll when she came to stay with us - (she was a Yorkshire lass but spent much of her life in Wales). The dolls looked exactly like the one on your twiddler! Have a lovely week, Heather xx #23

Your twiddler is, as always, amazing. I love the Welsh lady and the tiny flag, as for your leek, it’s brilliant - you wouldn’t want it mistaken for a spring onion! Your work should be on the front cover of a magazine. I think you should send some photographs to one. Angela # 10
