WOYWW

Hello everyone,
Well in returning from the UK I became ill with temperature and cough, so a trip to the doctors revealed I had bronchitis, something I usually suffer from in the winter months. This left me with no energy so no craft work for me hence no work desks for the past few weeks.

I cannot believe the weather we are having at the moment the last few days it has been in the 40's on my terrace. This week we have a picture of a temporary desk as I had to position a table round my fans in order to keep cool. I sympathise with the people of Javea in the Costa Blanca who are suffering from the fires. I know what it is like as we had serious fires here a few years ago and had to evacuate our houses. Very frightening.




My temporary desk contains a Hunkydory kit 'Warm wishes' I purchased over a year ago, I did try some of the kit last year but lost patience with it. Well I am beginning to lose patience with it again as the instructions are virtually none and certainly no first time card maker would understand them. I am not usually a buyer of kits much rather use my own ideas so think I will be using all the bits and pieces in my own way.
You can probably just see in the top left corner some granny squares, these have been made with the wool left over from my grandson's blanket, I am putting it to good use and will crochet them  together to make a blanket for a African/refugee programme.

Someone who was glad to see me return to my desk was my cat QC and soon made herself at home on the computer desk.


As I end this post must just include this that has come through, my grandson ready to start his new school this morning. 11 years old where did the years go?

  2. making christmas cards with hot weather, that's something different. I would say just create your own, much more original. happy WOYWW Vicky #11

  3. I don't know if it's just the photo but QC looks huge! So sweet! My son is the exact same age as your grandson and started secondary school too! Exciting times ahead! Hope your bronchitis get better soon. The weather hasn't been that cold around here - maybe you're just sensitive to the humidity. It's been exceptionally humid lately! I always know because my hair goes curly! Have fun this week! zsuzsa #25!

  6. Hope you are feeling better soon! What a handsome young man your grandson is! I am not impressed with that card kit company either. I purchased a set a while back and it is almost impossible to understand. Never again. Vickie aka Okienurse #6

  7. Thank you for visiting and for your kind comments. This is all going to take a bit of getting used to. I am suddenly aware of how much it is possible to achieve in a day!! I have cared for John for many years and at the end became very dependent on me for just about everything. Hope your grandson enjoyed his first day!
    Take care. God bless.

  8. I'm sorry you are feeling under the weather. I hope you feel better soon. I'm glad you shared about the kits as I was considering buying them. Hope your grandson has fun at school.
    Hugs,

  9. Oh dear - I hope you're feeling a bit better...?

    My daughter just finished secondary and is now starting tertiary college (sixth form). I feel old... hehehe

    I've recently taught myself to crochet too, and am also making granny squares for a blanket or two. Nothing as noble as your cause - mine are to use up wool given to me by a friend whose mother died. No-one else in the family knits, so they gave me the wool and I'm making blankets for her grandchildren. It's going to take me YEARS! LOL

    Happy WOYWW

    Take care. God bless.

  11. Nice Christmas trees, hope you manage to do them all and feel better soon

    I'm way behind this week, stuff started up and I got totally exhausted by Wednesday night!

    I did a post, not so long ago about Geocaching vs Pokémon which might explain the difference to you.

    Thanks for visiting me BJ#15

  12. Busy looking desk - even if you are exasperated by the kit. I've never bought kits from Hunkdory though I have bought kits from elsewhere and what I can say is I just weary of them eventually and end up putting them away to be resurrected years later. Lovely pic of your grandson - and, yes, where does the time go! Elizabeth x #41
