WOYWW 800

 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

I remember the dumfing at the first crop I came to Jo. Thanks for sharing your WOYWW memories. Hugs and Happy 800th WOYWW. Sarah

It's been such fun looking back Jo even if some of the things we made came as a surprise even to us :-)
Hugs,

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.
We’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 😍
Thanks for sharing, and may God bless you and keep you and all whom you love safe and well!
Prayer hugs, Shaz in Oz.x

Needle 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.
Gosh 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
