The gift of a crochet blanket
I have previously posted about other ways new babies can be supported, the ones who decide to come early and spend time in NICU units.
I have come across Sands who support families who have lost a baby at any stage a little life, not a little loss. On Facebook they ask for volunteers to crochet or knit blankets that are placed in memory boxes that get given to parents.
I brought some wool.... 8 ply 100% wool in cream, blue and pink
All ready to be posted.....now to start another one with a pink trim.

I enjoy sitting in the sun crocheting and watching how they grow so quickly....
....till the blanket is 24" square

Enjoying the bright colours of lego. They look so good when they are not one big mixed up mess. Happy Friday!
Bead fun together
Master W and I found the container of beads and pipe cleaners.
I just love the time we spend together and of course making up games together and changing the rules as we go is pretty fun also.

| we searched for the beads we liked the best |

| We made patterns on the pipe cleaners- they make great bracelets! |
We made up a game- the matching game. Master W would put down a row of beads and I would have to search in the pile of beads for one that matched. Master W loved finding the beads that were not quite like the other ones.

Scrap Block quilts
I have been using my scraps to create quilts. This means lots of sewing and ironing.

I made these two smaller quilts that are so versatile and can be used as a play mat, bassinet quilt or a cute addition to a little girls bed.
