WOYWW

 Good morning all. Happy What's On Your Work desk Wednesday!

I hope the weather hasn't been too cold and snowy for you. I have hibernated for the last few days but did manage to de ice my car and get out for some shopping yesterday.

Whilst hibernating, I managed to knit a chunky cardi for my friend's granddaughter....

As usual, the amount of yarn recommended for an age 2 to 3 was just not quite enough so I teamed it with some toning yarn for the neckband etc. 

It's certainly a cosy little item 

It has been a bit of a struggle with this nasty little cooker burn on my right hand. It's healing well but catches on everything now 

My other post Christmas activity was this fab jig saw Max passed on to us. The plain colours were a headache but we both enjoyed doing it. Isn't it beautiful. It reminded me of our summer time trip to York where we saw the Van Gogh event in St Mary's Church 

So that's it for this week.

Sending our good wishes and. WOYWW virtual hug to Neet.

Another week - another WOYWWednesday!

These weeks fly by don't they.

I was clearing out a few bits and bobs and came across some big pins.

I had intended making some little fabric brooches ages ago but never got round to it.

So, this week I decided I would make some little brooch/ bag tags/flags to raise funds for the folks who are suffering in the Ukraine War.

I found, amongst my many old pairs of denims, a dark navy pair - perfect for the backing on my little flags. The tiny Ukraine flags are made from a scrap of check fabric from my local footie flags.

The national flower of Ukraine - sunflowers - are needle felted and then the petals are hand stitched around each flower head. I left raw edges for effect and just stitched around to secure the backing with a bright yellow thread. Lastly, I stitched them onto the kilt pin. they are about 7cm x 8 cm.

I thought it looked good hanging on my navy bag....

AND...

If anyone wants one. Just let me know. Then, make a donation to any of the funds for Ukraine - Red Cross, DEC, Unicef  etc - tell me that you have done that and then I will pop one in the post for you.

First come first served. 

Update:   ALL 5 GONE TO OUR LOVELY WOYWWers - THANKS LOTS.

NB

I do have plenty of denim but no more giant pins - but I do have brooch backs. 

So if you just want a little brooch let me know - I could always run up a few more, if demand was high 😀

I guess every penny counts when things are so desperate out there.

We are so lucky to have peace and glorious Spring weather here.

I am counting my blessings.
