WOYWW 800 post celebrations...
Well fancy being part of a group who has been posting and sharing their work desks once a week for 800 posts - wonderful!
I have been involved since January 2010.... .
twiglet: What's on your workdesk Wednesday! (twiglet5.blogspot.com)
The link takes you to that first post. Looking back through my old posts was fun. I was amazed at how many things I had made and shared with my WOYWW buddies over the years...
My needle felting machine. You might remember we referred to needle felting as dumfing.. it's the noise you make as you felt the wool to the base fabric.
A few things that I decorated with dumfing. .
And then I found this photo....
A mermaid tail that I made and modelled for you.🤣
And just a few more random bits and bobs.. .
Sock dolls
Katie Morag doll
and outfit - made lots of times!
I don't know how I found the time to produce the multitude of items shared in my old posts but it has certainly kept me busy and it's lovely to share with others.
So, thanks to Julia and now Sarah for keeping us all going.
Annie and I raised a glass to you all last night when she came round whilst the men were at footie.
Cheers!
xx Jo
I came across your name on the early posts I found at Julia's, when I started - such a fun time for such a long time! my messy floor is the same now (worse, probably) as it was in 2010 when I started! Happy WOYWW Helen #2
ReplyDeleteI remember the dumfing at the first crop I came to Jo. Thanks for sharing your WOYWW memories. Hugs and Happy 800th WOYWW. Sarah
ReplyDeleteIt's been such fun looking back Jo even if some of the things we made came as a surprise even to us :-)
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Happy 800! Thank you for being such a staunch supporter and friend over the years. It was fab to see all your old makes, I love the Katie Morag doll and outfits a lot, they’re just right but the other dolls were fab too, I don’t remember seeing them, maybe before I joined in the madness.
ReplyDeleteWe’ll definitely catch up soon!
Happy 800, sending love and hugs,

Happy 800 WOYWW, just think you have a dumfing machine I remember doing it with you by hand at the crop at Llundudno. I think your sock dollies are the cutest, but also love the bag you made with the felted sweater in an early post gorgeous 😍
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, and may God bless you and keep you and all whom you love safe and well!

Oh how fun....looking back sure was a simpler time for me. I so much enjoyed all the years of your friendship. Good to see you off and on on FB. Surprise....had been thinking about this WOYWW group and had some time it's 4 am here and Bailey awoke me ! Even forgot how to blog......sign in....Made a quick copy of my 1st post and added a few lines....FORGOT a NEW PHOTO...maybe next week. WISHING you the best and I have missed all of you and your fun posts.
ReplyDeleteNeedle felting? What's that? Since knowing you it has always and will always be 'dumfing'. It's the perfect word and that is what is on my label.
ReplyDeleteGosh I remember those dolls, I loved them and marvelled at your talent. Certainly remember Katie Morag.
Thanks Jo for all those years of friendship.
Hugs, Neet 14 xx
A great first post and I haven't seen one of these felting machines before so very interested. I've seen something on instagram resembling a motorised giant glue gun lol.....but I'd imagine that I'd felt everything within close proximity to me together with one of those... Beautifully decorated projects , outfit and your sock dolls are so cute too! Someone must have been very happy with the mermaid tail too! Happy 800th WOYWW - Michelle x #13
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to see your upcycled woollies. I’ve always enjoyed seeing your twiddle muffs too.
ReplyDeleteHope you’re enjoying our 800th WOYWW anniversary.
Hugs

Absolutely love the needle felting and first time I've seen a machine for it. The colours in the items you have there is my favourite combo too. Hugs BJ#6
ReplyDeleteHello Jo, I remember you and Annie talking about dumfing and wondering what it could be, Of course, you made it clear eventually. What a great way to make use of old woollies and I really love your dolls - they are so cute. I was also amazed at what I'd made in all that time, and the mess I got my desk in so many times. It's all been worth it. Without Julia and her great idea, we would never have met. Happily, we have Sarah to thank for keeping it going and, you never know, we may meet again at a future crop. Have a wonderful week. Hugs, Ellie x #17
ReplyDeleteHi Jo, sorry I'm late had a busy day. It's been great looking back at the early post. Loving the variety of projects. Wishing you a very happy woyww anniversary. Hugs Angela x10x
ReplyDeleteHappy crafting memories through the years with your WOYWW group to encourage you. So many wonderful things you made.
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary to you all x
Happy 800 - and the dumfing! Yes! I remember it well.....
