What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Kitty throw A milestone! I felt really chuffed as I joined in the final square at the bottom right of the blanket - the one with our initials in a heart. Imagine a fanfare. All the squares are now joined, and the blanket itself is complete. I…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? The kitty throw is growing! Five columns of squares joined. Six columns joined. Seven columns joined. It is now getting pretty big and heavy to work on! The only time I can work on it is when my hubby is out for a good length of time,…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Don't worry, the week hasn't been as bad or exciting as this blog post's title might suggest. Actually it's been quite dull and I haven't got as much to report as usual, as it's been quite a quiet week apart from usual busy-ness in the kitchen, and…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? 1. Kitty Throw Great progress on the kitty throw this week. I've completed my 80 crochet squares! I just had to finish the embroidery on the cat stitch squares before going on to the next step. I wanted the cats formed by the cat stitch to have…
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…

I've now made 4, and added embroidery…

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…
