Hoping to get these delivered to Salisbury District Hospital in the next couple of weeks.

I've been working on these for over a year, making bundles of blankets, hats and bonding squares, plus some bonding squares and hats.

When life is stressful and hectic and your health limits you, it's great to have a positive focus.

2 years! It's been nearly 2 years ago since my last post. It's been a really busy couple of years with family matters and bereavement. I've carried on crocheting and knitting in my spare time, making items for charity.

In order to fund buying more yarn for my charity projects, I've a few baby blanket sets for sale, which would make a lovely gift.

Nearly 4 months since I last posted and I'm sharing some rather awful photos. Thought I'd share them nonetheless though.

I made 7 of these little blankets for "Woolly Hugs" for children in hospital and the large willow square blanket (which is folded in the photo) for a lady undergoing cancer treatment. They asked for "bright and cheerful", so I tried to give them what they wanted.

Life has been hard and hectic, hence not being around much. I'm still here though, crocheting, sewing and very occasionally doing some art.

Hope you're all keeping well.

Good afternoon. Sorry I've been really quiet again here for a few months. Life is really hectic and I finally had heart surgery in early May. Whilst I've been recuperating I've kept busy crocheting blankets for

I've made one really big "Candy's hug" blanket out of willow squares, which will be given to a lady undergoing cancer treatment. The other "little hugs" will go to children in hospital. They asked for bright colours and that's definitely what they'll be getting 🤣.

I hope you're all keeping well and life is good? If you're a crocheter or knitter (UK based) & want to do something for charity, take a look at the website as they've loads of ongoing projects you can join in with. Doesn't need to be a whole blanket ..... it can just be a few squares.

I'm planning on a few more "little hugs" and squares before they start accepting donations again in September. It's going to be a big parcel to send by then!
