WOYWW -2021 Things can only get better!

 

Happy New Year to all my blog buddies and anyone else who pops in to see what I am up to.

Well, with another lockdown being upon us, the answer to "What is she up to?" might be "Not a lot!"

But, of course, I don't let a lockdown stop me from keeping busy and enjoying what I do.

The lovely LLJ sent me a gorgeous cross-stitched Christmas card which was just too beautiful to put in my Christmas box along with all my other "saved, handmade beauties". I found one of Tilly's little IKEA Tysslinge frames and popped it on top of the little grey storage drawers in my sewing room. Now it just makes me smile every time I go in there. 

The happy robin card that Annie made for me is also saved for another occasion - sometimes cards are just too nice to part with aren't they!

Below is my New Year challenge to myself.......

I am going to try to make as many twiddle mitts as I can during lockdown.

These are just basic ones using odds and ends of chunky yarn (thanks lots LLJ).


I am going to design a few more themed ones - I think "Spring" would be good as I could put Spring flowers, sunshine, rainbows, new life etc on them - very uplifting for me to do and the recipient to receive.


So, keep positive - that's the main thing. If we let things overwhelm us then we are all losers. Take each day as it comes. Do something you enjoy every day no matter how small. Contact folk who make you laugh - even an email or FB message can lift our spirits.

Sending you all a big virtual hug!
