WOYWW

 Hello all. Thank you for all the lovely comments last week. 

Today is a quite a special  day for me, the eve of a special birthday, a new decade :-) . How on earth did that happen I ask myself. However it's better than the alternative 😉

There had been secret plans for special celebrations, set up before the pandemic. However these are obviously not going to happen. They are being kept secret still, just in case at some time in the future we can still celebrate.

There are new plans, breaking no rules, that I will report on next week. I just wish that this beautiful weather was going to stay for tomorrow and Friday. Still I must just be grateful for what we can do, so different to last year! I am very excited.

I will report back next week! :😀

Graham had his second jab yesterday, absolutely no side effects this time, Hope I get mine soon. Hoping side effects not as bad as last time, but in my book worth it and better than being on ventilator or worse.

I have tidied away a lot of 'stuff ' from my workspace, so nothing really to see.

Easter cards are sent. 

There were three designs.

Some small gifts completed.

I also completed cards for Hug a Hospital appeal. They are to thank nurses and I think started by a Consultant.

Finally for this week 

My D.L.L. sent me this

Hello All, would you like to take part in a big art project?

I'm making a "covid quilt" and would like you to make a square for it. 

The square can be made of any fabric, knitted, crochet, felted, sewed, appliqué etc but must be personal to you and your experiences with covid/ lockdown/ the strange times we are currently in.

Your square needs to be 30cm by 30cm so it can be sewed together to make a big quilt to be displayed at Dean Clough Gallery in Halifax 

There are no age restrictions so this could be a family activity. The idea is to be mindful and to just take some time out of our busy lives to be restful and craft.

I thought I will have a go. Had great ideas in my head! Left it late to complete.

So a very very amateurish effort! Apologies to those of you who produce amazing creations in textiles. I had intended sewing everything but had to resort to using some glue. Despite everything I did enjoy doing something different. Please be kind lol 

So I think that is it for this week. I will be round to visit but it may take a little while. I hope that you all enjoy a very happy and peaceful Easter.
