Shaz We are all devastated to hear the news that we have lost our beloved Shaz (Silverwolf) this week. Here she is with her wonderful husband and soul-mate Doug, sitting with my hubby on the day they visited us back in February 2015 just before I was due to undergo my own cancer…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? This week I continued working away at my kitty squares. I'm glad I decided to make a round number of 6 of the difficult ones. I've got a bit faster at doing them but constantly make mistakes and have to undo it. The final one, which I…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Continuing with the crochet squares for the kitty throw. After everyone's kind words last week, I decided to take your advice, and persevere with the rather difficult design for this particular square, and make some more of the kitty faces. I've now made 4, and added embroidery…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Same thing as last week - squares for the kitty throw! I decided to do a different style of square, working back and forth rather than in the round, following a graph design of a kitty face. Here is the design I made. My first attempt was…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Still working at squares for the kitty throw. Nothing new to show really, but I'm on the home stretch with the squares, and I've got quite a full bag of them now. I've got to make 80 in all, and then it's on to the kitty appliqué…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Cat throw My new wool has arrived, and I am very pleased with it. It seems to be nice and soft, and of good quality. My hubby said he wasn't very impressed with the standard of packing, and I had to agree! However, the contents were fine.…
Well, what can one say about 2020? So much has been said already so I'm not going to say anything! - at least, about national and world events which I actually do have a great deal to say about, but this is not a political blog. I shall stick to my own personal…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? I'm sorry I didn't manage to visit many desks last week - rather busy with other things! Celtic Bee Dance This is the title I have given to the birthday card I made this week for a bee-keeping friend. I usually try and make a bee-themed card…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Firstly, a gorgeous Christmas card from Cindy. Thank you Cindy - love the layers! Really effective, how you've created a star out of squares. Celtic knot thank you card I made this for my cleaning lady. I used one of the blanks I created a while back…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? First of all, a beautiful card from Shaz (Silverwolf). Thank you, Shaz! It's shiny and glittery and quite 3-D, and I love the embossed background too. Brilliant! As for what I have been doing this week, I have been making slow but steady progress on my crochet…
