WOYWW

 Good morning to all my WOYWW friends around the globe - and anyone else who has popped by to see what I am up to during the latest lockdown.

The weeks fly by and although we are virtually housebound I have managed to keep busy and happy.

I am frustrated in not being able to get together with Max and Ben as I could have helped more with home schooling. However, he is doing well under Max's excellent tuition alongside all the school resources provided, so I should be pleased about that really.

She dropped off a few bits and bobs for me to finish and mount so that was a nice interlude. 

I neatened the edges of the bookmarks and stitch them onto cards.


Hopefully the shops will open up soon so that she can get selling again!


Neet suggested that I knit a football twiddler so I printed off some badges onto pelmet vilene and attached these to an appropriately coloured mitt. I even knitted footballs and a tiny scarf. (Mad but fun!)













The purple Fairy Sparkle twiddler went down well so I made another - pink this time.


I think they are getting a bit crazier each time but maybe that's more about me than the mitt!

I hope you are all staying well and safe. I have heard that a few of my over 70 buddies are getting vaccinated this week so maybe it won't be too long before we youngsters get ours!

That's it for this week.

xx Jo

  1. Great twiddle mits and gorgeous bookmarks of Max's Jo. Disappointed that the mighty Potters didn't get mentioned on the red and white one though lol. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #?

  2. Beautiful bookmarks and it’s great that you can help Max when she’s involved in homeschooling. I really like the little fairy twiddlemuff and admire your skill im making the football one. Stay safe.

  3. Good morning Jo
    Max’s bookmarks are very lovely and so are your latest twiddle mitts.
    You’ve given me an idea for one. A friend of mine goes to hospital for cancer treatment every three weeks and is there for a few hours at a time. She always takes a basket of stuff with her to do and I’m thinking I could make her a twiddle mitt to put in her basket as well.
    I’ll have to have a root round and see what bits and pieces I can find.
    Philip has got his vaccine jab tomorrow and his twin sister and her husband and my mum have had theirs. It’s great we are moving forward.
    Take care

  4. Definitely getting madder....but aren't we all? We blame lockdown but I have a feeling it's more to do with the age of the beast ;-)

  6. Those twiddle mitts are really developing a character and charm of their own. Hope you can have your "jab" as we say in OZ and be able to get out an about. Stay well.

  8. Morning Jo. Crazy, fun, football twiddle muff there. Well done. have you thought about one for the 6 nations?? You obviously sprinkled the first pink one with fairy dust - so popular was it!! Hope the folks enjoy the second one, too.
    Take care. God bless.

  9. Those footballs!! Such fun! I do love the fairy ones though. I might have to request an allotment one for myself! Loving the book marks too - they look very tactile as well. I've been hearing about ladies reading and colouring with their grandchildren over zoom / skype etc and it sounds such a lovely way to keep in touch. My children are past that stage and they only have one grandparent that's really available to them but it sounds a lovely idea for those the right age. Stay safe and keep smiling, Lisa-Jane #2

  10. Awesome twiddlemuffs again today, the footie one made me smile but it’s Fairy Sparkle 2 that wins the show for me hands down! I really feel a kinship with her, oh to have blonde pigtails and be able to carry off a lovely tutu.... ;-). The bookmarks are fab, you did a great job of finishing them off and I hope that Max will be able to sell her glorious stuff very soon.
    And I’ve got everything crossed for the vaccine for you!

  23. How did I miss this one? Was just showing the other half some of your Twiddle Mitts and telling him how talented you are - he was amazed at what you do and said "by heck, she doesn't half bang them out" (that is indeed praise from him).
    Love the footie one and the little fairy is so pretty. I love your Twiddlemitts.
    Hugs, Neet xx
