2024 January

 Not much to show for the start of the year

I made two panels at a workshop some years ago but I don't have room to hang them and the girls' don't want them.  I am *trying* to declutter so they were going to go but then I needed a bag for crochet, so I joined them and voila! 


We have finally done some work on our village hall:

The stage hasn't been used for years (decades?) so became a dumping ground

so we removed the stage and put up curtains to turn it into storage


and the library units and the (nice) chairs have moved to behind the curtain


Leaving a huge hall for people to use


I'm really delighted with it!

I've been bulk making I-spy quilts for a few months - too boring to have included in many blog posts.  I finally added the binding so I had 8 ready, then checked my lust and found I needed 11😳.

These have been named and mostly distributed and I'm back making the last 3!

Then my body decided I needed a break from work and sewing, well at least my appendix did, it decided we weren't friends any more so I kind of lost a week or two!  All better now!


It was lovely to come home to mini daffs sprouting in the garden: I wasn't sure they were planted deep enough in these colourful pots but they obviously are

I have done some crochet - this is the wool Lisa got me for Christmas - the colours seem very Northern Lights: I love it!

Hope you are keeping well, and I can show a bit more crafting next month!

An early post this month, and I think I've been quite productive this month. Chertsey Museum ladies made pin cushions in ramekin dishes ...
