WOYWW 604 30th December 2020

 Good morning all from a cold and very windy Spain but obviously not as cold and snowy as the UK.

So we are gathered on our last WOYWW of 2020. Thank you for all your friendship over this difficult past year where I think isolation, boredom and loneliness have been problems for many. 

So what's on my desk today well not much as crafting still isn't on the agenda until after 3 Kings. So my little desk/table has the jigsaw still not finished all the animals are done now for the jungle pieces. Watch this space as I reckon it will be finished next week.

 And for my little bit of crafting 50 of my 108 needed squares for the blanket for the bed. So easy to do when watching television. Although I admit I thought television wasn't exciting over Christmas. 

I am off to my knitting/sewing group this morning the first time I have been out since Christmas Eve.

On the rib front I noticed yesterday that the pain has gone so hopefully all healed now. It was 6 weeks ago Barney knocked me off my feet. 

Now to meet up with Julia at https://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/ and I wish you all A Happy New Year with the promise of better things to come.

WOYWW 603 23rd Decembre 2020

 Good morning from a hazy sunrise in Mojacar this morning. 

Only one more day left here in Spain as the Spanish celebrate like the rest of Europe on Christmas eve, hope you are all prepared for your celebrations wherever you are. 

My table this week has the jigsaw on that I was saving for Christmas but was bored the other afternoon so made a start.

Along with keep knitting my pinky coloured squares that is the extent of my crafting activities this week.

This morning after my knitting group I will be returning home to the start of my Christmas preparations. That means staying at home with Barney and QC until at least Monday. I decided I didn't want to go to a restaurant Christmas day for fear social distancing would not be observed when people have had a bit to drink. So my choice to go it alone.

Our covid numbers are dropping but who's to say that after Christmas, New Year and 3 Kings they could increase. I cannot understand the number of British who have been flying to Spain for Christmas and I am now glad Spain has closed its borders to the UK. Sorry but that's how I feel.

So only one thing left for me to do and that is to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a better 2021 wherever you are and celebrating.

Ani, Barney and QC

Woyww 602 16th December 2020

 Well only just over a week to the big day hope you are all prepared. I have never been so prepared and why because I am spending the day on my own. No meat to buy and cook, no veg to prepare and all the usual work that goes with Christmas. I have not even put a decoration up, how sad am I. We also like most countries have not been given the final arrangements for the Christmas period so decided it was better to stay at home.

No photos this week as I have put my big work table away after completing the sorting of all my wool. Really pleased as now in bags and labelled. My smaller table I still have up but no craft work on it and is a dumping ground but will be cleared shortly in preparation for a jigsaw a friend gave me.

I am off to my sewing/knitting group this morning then after the meeting we have our Christmas lunch. My third and final one! 

Hope you all get your Christmas wishes and manage to see your families over the Christmas period. 

WOYWW 601

 It was lovely to meet you all on Saturday and put names and faces to blogs. Thank you Julia https://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/for arranging it all. Here's to the next 600.

So for the view of my desk this week, I said I was having a wool clear out here is the table with just some of the wool. Only thrown very small balls away and I have a bin liner full to take to knitting group this morning. A lady there knits coats and blankets for the dogs.

Then to the other table where I have put half finished garments etc. These will get finished sometime.

These are the squares I am knitting when I watch TV the browny crocheted ones are for a throw for my chair, and the pinky ones for a cover for my bed.

Another busy day today after sewing I am going for a  Christmas lunch with the Wednesday afternoon group, had one on Saturday also, then next Wednesday I have the sewing group Christmas lunch. Good job I am on my own for Christmas as I don't think I will be able to face any more turkey by then.

We are still confined to our town until new announcements on 12th December. I expect this won't change until after Christmas, New Year or even 3 Kings. 

Stay safe everyone. Ani

WOYWW 600

WOYWW celebrates is 600 edition.

 Thank you Julia for this special blog page, since finding you it has felt like belonging to a worldwide family of crafters. You have been there for me during the happy and unhappy events in my life.

Unfortunately there is nothing on my workdesk today as I have tidied the desk/table up in readiness to start downsizing my wool stash. 

When the wool stock is done, then I make a start on material. Then probably my card stash especially all the cut offs. I am unable to throw away any bits I cut off when making cards and my boxes are growing bigger and bigger. 

I suppose the same can be said for all my craft stuff, I am possibly what some people may called 'A Hoarder'. I just say I haven't got the opportunity to nip into my local craft store because I haven't got one!

So I say watch these tables in the coming weeks.

I wish Julia stamping-ground.blogspot.com a very happy day and thank you for all you and your assistants do.

Hopefully I will connect on Zoom if I can figure out how to use it but don't hold your breath as during the week I managed to send Google Crome into the unknown depths of my desktop.
