 Welcome to everyone popping in to see what I have been busy with this week.

I have been finishing a few jobs and clearing the decks ready for Christmas.

These are the little Friendship hearts that I knitted for our hospital. I bagged them up in pairs and a lovely lady collected them from me.

Then I finished off a couple of denim book covers. I used some embroidery from faded vintage linens. 

My latest project was to knit a few little chocolate covers for our little ones this year...

A little fairy mouse.

Mother and baby penguins.

And last but not least...

A Mcfelty chocolate orange cover for Till Tea Dance 

It's just a reminder of the fab felted picture that she made and Catriona kindly purchased.

I think it will raise a smile don't you?

I hope you are also enjoy the build up to Christmas. Make it low key and don't stress about it.

Have a lovely time.

Last week was Ben's birthday and as usual I made him a cake. My cakes are always a bit random - linked to the topic of interest of his year and I always say, not perfect, but good enough is good enough.

So here is his Sonic cake.....

We enjoyed a birthday brunch and then, he kindly told me where he would like to enjoy a birthday tea for my birthday next week! It sounded like a good plan so I had better get booking it up.😀

This week I have mostly been making up workshop packs for Tilly's next three workshops - 40 packs plus spares.

I have also made a few more bins as they are selling well for the charity. 

And then, I knitted a few more red friendship hearts. 

My last little project was a cover for a baby's high chair. Quick and easy using the original Ikea cover as a pattern.

So that's me for this week 

I shall look forward to seeing what all my WOYWW friends have been up to. I can now log onto Julia's blog Stamping Ground again so it's much easier to get around and visit you all. 

Have a good week and get well soon Annie! x x

 Apologies for the blurred photos last week. If you were one of the first  few to visit you will hardly have been able to see any detail, so, I did a quick revamp. I had just copied and pasted the first edition from the photo file using my phone, which I had never done before. It obviously doesn't work so I went back to my PC and did it properly.

Hopefully, this week will be an improvement.

This week I have been mostly making Hang about bins  Some for the charity and some for Annie's grandchildren. I spent Saturday afternoon with the girls and they said they would like one for their rooms. Of course,

I also made one for their younger brother too.

Just a bit of fun.

Evenings are now cool enough for knitting so I made a few more Friendship hearts for the hospital. 

Then, these little, spooky characters popped up on Lovecrafts knitting site .

I thought Ben would think they were fun.

I have two more to do which I might share next week.

We are enjoying the Autumn cooler weather and have harvested almost the last of our garden veg.

I picked a couple of massive cucumbers today. Yum!

Have a great week all.

 Good morning fellow WOYWWers.

Not a great deal to share with you this week .

I have had another week of hospital visits and associated tasks.

I have managed to knit a few Friendship hearts and, thanks to my lovely sis, I have a big bag of stuffing. I think that will be enough for a couple of hundred!!!!!

Thanks for all your comments last week.

Hopefully, I will get to visit a few desks this week

 Good morning all.

It's been another busy week but not much time for crafting.

I did buy some new yarn - a pretty, random yarn called Cherish. An appropriate name for my little Friendship hearts.

Of course, as it's random, if I wasn't careful, they wouldn't be matching pairs. So, a little bit of twiddling was needed to get it right .

I think I've got the trick now don't you?

It's a really cold, frosty day today but hopefully we will have more beautiful sunshine. We have had some awesome sunrises and sunsets this week.

Short and sweet today.

I have lots to as we took down Tilly's exhibition yesterday and I have the remaining stock to sort, ready to go out to the next venue 

Have a good week.

 Well, that was Christmas - doesn't time fly!

I hope you all had a lovely time. We had a wonderful family lunch followed by a quiet few days.

Today we have our little house guest for a day or two. He drew a portrait of me last week and as he finished he said "I've missed out the bits that make you look old cos you think you're young don't you!"

I love him to bits.

I have been doing a few little jobs in the evenings.

Tillyteadance needed a few brooches finishing and packing.....

Then, I noticed an appeal for little hearts for the hospital. So I knitted a few pairs. They are called Friendship Hearts.. They are gifted to families whose loved ones are receiving end of life care.

They are presented in pairs so that one is kept by the patient and the other, identical one, goes to their family, along with a little poem.

These things mean a lot to some folk so, I am happy to use my stash to help out.

Well, that's it for this week except to wish you all the very best for 2023. Thanks for yet another year of friendship and crafty desk sharing. Long may it continue!

Best wishes
