WOYWW 10th September

 Another sunny day here in Mojacar and I am slowly getting used to my new living quarters. My daughter came last Saturday and filled my freezer with goodies like Jamie Oliver fish cakes, Roast leg of lamb  complete with roast potatoes and a very tasty gravy. All I have at the moment for cooking is an airfryer, microwave, toaster and kettle.  

As far as handycraft materials I have finished the blanket corner to corner, but how to take a photo of it on my new laptop I do not know. All my wool, card making material etc is downstairs - where I am not allowed to venture on my own. 

Took photo on my `phone and by magic it appeared on here!

That´s me for today I hope you all have a good week.

WOYWW 29th August

 Yes I´m back for the second time trying to write this blog on a new laptop, HELP I´ve already lost the first few paragraphs.

Well as I was saying I am now out of that ghastly nursing home, and at my daughters until Friday when I shall go home to my dear old Barney. I´v seen him a few times but have missed him so much.

Thank you for all your get well wishes and also birthday wishes yes I have been in there nearly 3 months missed all the summer and the very hot wearher we have been having. It topped over 40 on Sunday and we had a fire the other side of the valley, fortunately the fire service along with the helicopters were in  attendance very quickly.

I have no work desk to show you but have been doing a little knitting while in the home. Only charity blankets something that didn´t need concentrating on.

Pictures hopefully next week.

I have kept up with  you all most weeks but only on my phone and having fat fingers couldn´t comment.

 WOYWW 828 16th April

So sorry I haven't been with you for months but after having flu vaccine I was really ill with flu, from there they  discovered I had a heart condition, and was immediately sent to hospital where I was fitted with a stent. Since then I have had nothing but trouble. I collapsed in a local hotel and was rushed to hospital. I am now back home waiting to start lots of other tests including a24 monitor aft Easter.

I have none no crafting just haven't the energy, well I have some wool on needles knitting baby blanket.

Lovely to be back with you I am getting sick of seeing the same 4 walls even though I have the view of the sea. I  can only go out with someone is available to take me as very unsteady of my feet.

WOYWW 800 2nd October 2024

 WOYWW 800 2nd October

Hello it's me again. Congratulations on the 800..

My first venture onto the WOYWW was 6th April 2016 I used to be a regular contributor but thing lapsed as I have craft group on Wednesdays and have to leave by 9.00am.

Now the heat of the summer has past I feel like returning to normal - well whatever normal is in my life.

I have done a little crafting over the very hot summer we have had this year. Mostly small things for charity. We have the Ukraine priest coming to our sewing group today, he helped distribute the goods we sent over to Ukraine, but eventually got stopped when one of the drivers got killed. The team are hoping to go over with some goods before Christmas.

Above are some bits and pieces I have been knitting. The snowmen are to give to our patients and carers group - Stepping Stones that meet every Thursday. It is a group for people and their carers, we play games, give them lunch and provide whatever help we can. 

Well congratulations all the members of WOYWW and here's to the next 800.

WOYWW

 So sorry to hear that Julia has resigned from WOYWW but hey welcome Sarah. I wish you all the best. 

I am still persevering with the Spanish ladies and their bargello work. I have finished the first one. sorry no pictures as I am staying at my daughters. This is a new one I am doing. We have been told an exhibition of our work is to take place next month!

Sorry for any mistakes but writing  this on my mobile much prefer my desktop.

 Gosh my last post on here 26th April 2023 with 'hello from sunny Spain. Wish I could say that today, this afternoon we had a short downpour, if only it had been more. We are desperately short of water and every little drop is precious. it is also cold, well in my opinion. 

I have still been doing craft work over the last 12 months but have cut down drastically on what I do. No more sewing, but still hoping to do some knitting and crochet work.

I have joined a small Spanish group of ladies who do work called 'Bargello'. 

This is one of the ladies designs,

And this is my small design, only small  to start with.

Some of the ladies are making rugs, which will be backed with hessian then a non slip rug material. I can just imagine them in an old Spanish finca. 

I am now trying to design some smaller Christmas wall hangings. I am hoping by joining this group will also improve my conversational spanish. One can always hope.

So that is me after a 12 month gap year.

I will now see if I can remember how to link up with Julia at https://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/ That's one bit done.

 Hello from sunny spain where it is getting hotter and hotter every day. Think it is going to be a long hot summer here.

Nothing much on my work desk today but I am knitting some soft toys that will eventually find there way to the Ukraine in the summer. The convoys of goods seems to have slowed down but I think now more than ever the people must need things as they try to rebuild  their lives. Our sewing group are collecting toiletries, toys, etc but we have been told no clothes.

Another pleasure of mine are jigsaws and this is the latest one to be finished by the end of April. I am trying to do one a month.

And finally one of Barney singing (howling) to the TV either Midsomer Murders or the Flash advert. 

Sorry about the first link I am having great trouble with Blogger, no idea what happened. If this doesn't work I may have to open a new titled blog page. wish me luck.
