Well it seems you all or most of you have a dumping ground so that doesn't make me feel so bad. By the way it is all still in place I have made no effort to clear as being retired I just don't have the time to do these things.
My work desk to day only has my faithful cat 'QC' on it and as you have all seen her so many times no pic. Card making has been put to one side for a few weeks and I have taken up my crochet hook (not that I put it down for long) to finish my blanket, I laid this to one side when my grandson said he wanted one in all bright colours, so of course his came first and as I was visiting the UK I had to get it finished to avoid postal costs.
Now our nights are getting cooler it won't be long before this is needed.
As I have to have more than project on hand I am also using up the wool left over from my grandsons blanket to make a blanket for Africa or wherever it will be needed. The lady who has been collecting all our charity knitting over the last few years is giving up because of high transport costs and the difficulty in delivering to Kenya. Fingers crossed we will find another organisation who will take our items.
I will leave you with two postcards I received this week, I belong to a post crossing group (via the internet) where you send and receive post cards from people all over the world.
The first is from Moscow and the second which is in 3D made me laugh it is from Canada.
Have a good week until next Wednesday Cheerio.
Hi Ani, Great postcards. It's impossible to have too many cat photos by the way! Great colours in the crochet. Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz #4 xx
ReplyDeleteYou should see all the cat photos I have good job they are all digital.
DeleteAdore the pinks and lilacs in your blanket, certainly getting to that time of year. BJ#37
ReplyDeleteI live in Spain the days are still hot but the nights are certainly a
Deletelot cooler.
That blanket looks gorgeous. Trying to teach myself to crochet better. Happy Wednesday...Sandy Leigh #40
ReplyDeleteI have only been crocheting about a year taught myself from this marvellous blog Attic 24.
DeleteOh I love the colours of the blanket, and this is the perfect weather to be doing something that can sit on your lap while you work!
ReplyDeleteI live in Spain Julia and it is still a little hot for lap top crocheting during the day, but the evenings are certainly getting cooler.
DeleteLovely colours on your blanket! Postage costs can be quite outrageous so best to just take with you. The postcards look great. I bought a load of them while I was visiting Mum. Now I have to do something with them!

Have a look at the page postcrossing.com may give you an idea what to do with the postcards.
DeleteI'm loving your crochet blankets! Great colours :-). Little granny squares re great for using up odds and ends of yarn, it's just the sewing together bit that gets me! Would an old folks place local to you take a blanket or two?

I had to hear that it's become so hard to get items to people in need. What a shame. Best wishes that you find another organization who can work with you. Oh, and I do love those bright colors you used on your grandson's blanket!
ReplyDeleteThe horse card made me giggle too. So glad you shared it!
