What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Well, wonders will never cease! You will not believe this, but Shoshi has been Tidying Up. An amazing and exciting gift Last week, I had the most amazing and generous offer from our own Cindy, who has also been having a clear-out. She told us about her…
Health update First of all, thank you, everyone who spotted my additional post this week, sharing the news of my cancer diagnosis, and for your good wishes. That post, just prior to this one, gives details, and I have also added a new cancer diary page to my blog (tab under main header).…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Persian Tiles throw I'm making steady progress on the Persian Tiles throw, with a couple more tiles completed. They are quite large, and take some time to do. There is plenty of variety in each one, with different stitches, and a colour change with each round, so…

This is how the chart looks now: The bottom section is now blank! This means that there are no more "still…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Working on the embellishments for the cat throw. I am finding the chart I made last week extremely useful, and it's fun adjusting it each time I complete another crocheted kitty, and seeing the bottom half of the chart gradually diminishing in number. As you can see,…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Working on the cat throw. I decided to join the first column of squares, just to see how it went. I discovered a lovely pattern online for crocheting squares together; I really didn't want to sew them, and I thought a more decorative joining might be fun,…
ShazWhat a wealth of beautiful tributes flowed out last week from my computer screen, about our lovely Shaz who so sadly lost her long battle with cancer recently. I have decided to go through everyone's blog and copy and paste them all, complete with all the photos, and make them into a special…
