Here as promised Julia reporting for duty, but haven't got much to show.
My table this week is littered with photographs that I am sorting out. This is something I have been meaning to do for over 20 years since I moved to spain, The albums were purchased in the uk and have remained in their plastic covering ever since but not any more. I have promised all the photos to my daughter so she can have a laugh at how things used to be.
I am still making the teddys and have completed a drawstring bag for each one.
Below are some photos of work done by members of our Wednesday knitting/sewing group.
We are truly a gifted bunch of ladies and now that people are slowly returning to their holiday homes we are welcoming back some members we have not seen for over 18 months. Today 14 of us will sit down for our summer lunch, slowly things are returning to normal. Oh and after this weekend our face masks will be no more, only in exceptional circumstances ie supermarkets, hospitals, etc.
So along with the weather picking up life is good. Hope it is for all of you.
Your group is indeed very talented Ani - love those Art Deco quilts in particular. Have fun sorting through the photos and reminiscing with your daughter. Hope you find someone to bring the teddies back to the UK too. Stay safe and happy WOYWW. Sarah #4
ReplyDeletewell done on sorting out all those photos! I hope your daughter enjoys the laughs. The teddies look lovely, I do hope you can get them sent over soon. Great that you are going to be able to relax the rules more - hopefully soon here too! Helen #1
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing group you are a part of. They are all so talented. I absolutely adore your teddies. They are really cute and clever. Its good to read that Spain is relaxing their mask mandate. Hope that brings a few things back to normal for you, dear. Happy WOYWW from # 5.
ReplyDeleteOh some great projects, love all the photos. Reminds me...photos another project with much to sort. Enjoy
ReplyDeleteWow. Talented bunch indeed. Such a cute array of teddies and the little quilts are amazing. Good news on the mask mandate!

Such a talented bunch indeed. I was going to say how much I admired the Rennie Mackintosh work but then so much more was revealed and I was blown away by it. It must be a pleasure to meet up with such talented ladies.
ReplyDeleteYour teddies are lovely too and they remind me so much of Rupert bear. What a lovely thing to do and to give them bags to be carried in too. Carry on with the photo sorting, such a big task by the look of it but worth it in the end.

Wonderful work by all the gals, how lovely to see the ones who haven’t been able to make it out there. Your teddies are fab, they’ll be cherished by their new owners!

OOh Anne, that’s a job that is, a family’s lifetime of photos! Your daughter realises she’ll need a separate room for them?!! I love the teddies, and I had to smile when you say they are so easy to knit! It’ll be a wrench to part with them when you eventually do…I wish I was making a car trip to your part of the world, I really do! And oh my, I love the variety of work that your Wednesday group are doing, what a patient and talented group, such lovely work, and shocker, no printed patterns anywhere to be seen … good grief.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work by the craft group, I'm off to mine on Saturday and can't wait. Loving the tedds and good look with the sorting too. Have fun and a happy woyww, Angela x17x

I have stacks of photos left over from my mum hubby's mum even our grans and nans all hiden in the attic waiting for me to sort out. mum used to say, that'll be yiur jobs when I;ve gone, weirdly I say the same thing to my daughter! Stay safe, Happy WOYWW ((Lyn)) #15

Happy WOYWW. Wonderful to hear that things are progressing in the right direction in Spain. I think we have given up being able to travel out this year. Hubby is not at all keen to get on a plane (it is the airport part that he is worried about, but I have told him how organised it is with social distancing etc). He wants to drive down, but that would be a very long journey for me to cope with - and only possible if we then spent at least 2 months in Spain, which we cannot do at the moment (we still have a cat at home, and the farm business needs us). Missing Spain and our friends so much. Ali x #24
ReplyDeleteLovely to hear that things are getting better for you, meeting up with people you have not seen in a long time is lovely,
ReplyDeleteYou sure are a talented bunch
Take care and stay safe
