WOYWW 608 27th January 2021

 In case you're wondering what WOYWW stands for. it's a weekly get together of fellow crafters to see 'What's on your workdesk Wednesday'. The group is run by Julia https://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/ and has been going over 10 years.

I am giving myself a pat on the back as last week I managed to visit everyones page and comment on those that would allow.

So down to business and to show what is on my work desk today, must admit nothing exciting. I am still knitting the jumper but the rate I am going summer will have come and gone and it will be ready for next winter. I have done the back and quarter of the front. The greeny tub on the top is for holding my wool it fits a 100grm ball perfectly and by using the wool from the centre of the ball saves one pussy cat getting her claws on it!

Our weather has certainly improved and I am managing to sit outside in the sun getting my daily vitamin D and my vitamin C from the oranges I juiced. It is great having orange and grapefruit trees but all the fruit comes at the same time so much gets wasted. I usually give bags away but with being on lockdown I am not seeing anyone.

These were a few windfalls I picked up and the yield was two and a half litres. 

That's me for this week now to link with approximately 40 other crafters across the world via https://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/ Hope you have a good week whatever situation you are in.

WOYWW 607 20th January 2021

 Well what can I say, yes we are in lockdown again as our little seaside village numbers have risen after the Christmas, New Year and 3 Kings holidays. Now all our bars, restaurants are closed likewise non essential shops but we are still free to roam as long as you don't go out of the town. Two of my friends have tested positive and today there is a mass screening being done at the local football ground. You can only go if you have been called by text and I have received no text. I shall just stay in and amuse myself with my hobbies.

So the desk is beginning to come back to life. A birthday card for my friend who will be 90 on Sunday (if you knew her you would not put her a day above 70), grand celebration plans made but now all postponed. 

My jumper is coming on well finished the back and half the front done, but now only knitting by the fire in the evenings.

Our weather has improved a little and I am managing an hour of vitamin D in the mornings. In the sun, sheltered from the wind temperatures can reach 24C. Along with the vitamin C from my oranges I hope this is keeping me healthy!

No sewing/knitting group today so for once I will have a lazy Wednesday hoping to visit you all before the day is finished.

Please all stay safe.

WOYWW 606 13th January 2021

Good morning brrh. it has gone even colder here, the coldest winter Spain has experienced for over 20 years and I believe Madrid is snowbound. It is not much better in Mojacar, the temperature in my living room when I ventured in there was 14C this morning. No central heating here like in the UK.

So what's on my table today one guess. A jumper desperately needed, hope I can finish it before the cold weather disappears.  

Yes Jan, that is your little bag I have found it so useful to keep my measures, pins, scissors etc in. It is waiting to be put in the craft bag along with the knitting to go to Knitting group this morning. 

That is me for today short and sweet. Now to link with Julia at stamping-ground.blogspot.com our hostess.

Wish you all a safe and good crafting week.

WOYWW 605 6th January 2021

 Oh my goodness 2021 where did the years go since the millennium celebrations of 2000, who would think then of the situtation the world would be in 20 years laters.

And on my Wednesday desk today still no crafting but the finished jigsaw, just the one piece missing.

I have also been carrying on knitting my squares and oh boy do I need that blanket. Don't think I have known such a cold winter, the sun shines but we have a really cold wind that comes from the north. Don't ever discard warm winter clothes if you come to live in Spain I even had my gloves on yesterday as well as my ancient M & S winter coat. 

At least we are still allowed out and bars and restaurants are open during the day and evening but not allowed to sell alcohol in the evening. Yesterday we registered 12 new cases in our little town but I wasn't surprised as when I took a trip to the dustbins New years day one bar area had so many cars parked I couldn't get near the bins and had to drive further on and lo and behold that chain have now closed because of positive readings. 

We have new restrictions or non restrictions due on the 10th so watch this space.

It is our three kings today but sadly non of the big parades etc. but some kings were seen in cars. 

I am off to my knitting/sewing class this morning we say we never close. Haha
