WOYWW

 Good morning all!
After four days with a foul head cold I can at last say my fuzzy head is better and I am no longer sneezing and snuffling constantly. Colds don't usually bother me much but this one was nasty! But then - as my much younger sister reminded me - I am not getting any younger and therefore don't get over things as quickly!! Thanks nurse Annie. lol

So not much to show and tell.
I have a nice new magazine to enjoy - seems to be lots of little sewing projects and a free crafty mag attached too.

The little patches are for my next little quilt but I need some more fabric to mix and match with it.

Below is the second little cardi knitted with Crofter chunky. This time a tad bigger for Phoebe.
She will love it as it has pink buttons!!
That's it folks.

    Sorry to hear about the head cold, they are awful and so debilitating, glad you are on the better sir of it now.

    Aww Jo, I hope you’re feeling better soon hun. (((hug)))
    Loving the cardi, the colours are so pretty together. I’ve definitely got the knitting bug after finishing the shawl and brought some more wool last week so I can make something else for my god daughters bump.

    Happy Crafting!

    Sorry to find you haven't been at all well, Jo - but happy that you are on the mend. I prescribe several well-spent hours of R&R on the sofa with a hot drink and that magazine :)

    The little jacket is a peach ... what is it about pink that little girls (and big girls too) are drawn to? Have you seen the latest ad for a main paint manufacturer that makes good use of this phenomenon?

    Happy WOYWW, Elizabeth x #79

    Gorgeous cardigan ... glad to hear you are over the cold. I am sure colds hang around a lot longer these days. Nothing to do with getting older those bugs just get tougher.

    Sorry to hear about your nasty cold - I am glad it is getting better! The cardi is sooo cute! Also I snooped around and saw the little quilt with the lovely bag and a very smiley cat! Wonderful!
    Thank you for sharing and lots of hugs,

    Lovely little cardi. Phoebe is obviously growing fast now. Hope you soon feel a lot better and never mind the age bit. These bugs are laying everyone low. Just take care and make sure you get lots of hot lemon and honey, and home made chicken soup. xx Maggie #15

    Jo, I'm so sorry you're sick! Hugs to you dearest, and I hope you feel better. I love your pin cushion and that fabric, BUT, I'm completely fascinated that there is a magazine called Homemaker. Where in the world is that magazine from? You see, I collect homemaker things--I have several, very old, Homec Class textbooks, and I love anything about homemaking! We get some UK magazines at Barnes & Noble, but I've never seen that one! Take care. Happy WOYWW! Sandy Leigh #52

    Tell your little sis that age is only a number! Young'uns get cold too!
    lovely fabric squares there and the little cardigan is fab. I adore the shaded yarns and it's so good knitting for little ones too.
    love from Jo, keeping a beady eye on you all from (sunny)Brighton xxx
