Gorgeous slippers for a cute little dude!

Morning all
If you read my blog you will know that I love my knit club at my friend's wonderful vintage knit shop 'knit' in Shotton.

We meet every Friday morning at 10.30 and although it's supposed to finish at 12 noon, I'm always still there with most of the ladies until gone 2pm.  Must mention that thanks to 'THE best boss in the world' Dan I no longer work Fridays.

However I digress, one of the ladies, Rachael, who is mum to four has knitted the cutest slippers ever for one of her little boys.  I know you will love them as much as I do.

I am working on some new projects at the moment and will post pics when they are done.  In the meantime enjoy your Sunday whatever you are doing.

Love Jane xx

Poppies, poppies, poppies update!

Hi all, just a quick update, thanks to the kindness of all my work colleagues and their friends, my daughters and their friends, we have raised £69.00 for the Poppy Appeal and I understand there is another £10 on its way so thank you to everyone.

Have a fab weekend everybody, love Jane xxx

Poppies Poppies Poppies!

Oh my goodness.... I decided to make some poppies for Remembrance Sunday and grandly produced sixteen, which disappeared all in one day. Since then I've made at least twenty more, which have all been snapped up too! I'm going to be making them in my sleep the way it's going. Every time my hub walks in I'm furiously crocheting. As soon as this is over I'll be straight onto my Christmas projects. I've already had orders for flower brooches as presents so I'll still be crocheting in my sleep. But I love it really, can't even think about just sitting without a project. I love nothing better than getting home from work, feeding my dog and three cats and then snuggling in with my project.

My dad played a vital part in WW2 and although he has passed away I am eternely grateful to him and all the brave men and women who fought so hard for our freedom. God bless them.

Hope everyone is happy. Not long until Christmas, where did this year go?

Love to all Jane xxx
