Hello to all my WOYWW friends. For those who don't know what this is all about please pop over to Julia the Queen of snoop's blog to check out all the other WOYWWers desks and while you're there put your name on Mr Linky and link it to a picture of your crafting space on your blog. It doesn't have to be a desk. It can be anywhere that you craft and create. Go on you know you want to.
What a week it's been. The 'to do' rail was filled, all sewing has been done and has now moved to the 'done' rail.
My dear friend and neighbour was discharged from hospital and transferred back to her care home on Friday but was rushed back to A & E on Sunday morning with more chest pain. Bless her, she has remained frightened and confused throughout and this certainly hasn't been helped by the fact that her bed has been moved to 4 different wards since she was admitted. The hospital system has certainly changed a lot since I worked there and I have to say not for the better. I am hoping she is transferred back to her care home very soon so that her feet touch the ground long enough to allow her to settle.
After my Saturday afternoon's fun at the knit and natter group at Shrewsbury theatre [see prev blog] I have sorted out some fabric and matching wools and have made a bag.
I'm rather pleased with the result so this one is for me but if anyone would like something similar I would be happy to make them one. I may make a few and put them in the blog shop next so watch this space
I have lined it out in a matching lime green fabric.
Thanks Suz for teaching me the spike stitch crochet.....I'm hooked.
Well, that's all from me this week. I will try harder to get round all your wonderful blogs....that is if emergencies will allow.

Ah sorry to hear about your neighbour. When my son was in hospital recently there was an elderly gentleman in his ward who was very confused, kept trying to walk round with his catheter bag trailing on the floor, I was really concerned in case it got caught round something but when I mentioned it to a nurse she just said well he's had it long enough! It took them 2 days to have him moved to a more suitable ward as he kept wandering off. Why is it that I and the guys on the ward knew he needed more of an eye keeping on him but not the staff?
ReplyDeleteYour bag is beautiful, love the colours :-)

Glad you have found a bit of "you" time in your day - needless to say you didn't waste it - the bag is fab and yes it really is on Ravelry now!!!!
ReplyDeleteHey there Annie- that bag is lovely - you are so clever and talented.. you just turn your hand to anything - and succeed!!! When you say you were/are hooked - i'm sure there was no pun intended - right?
ReplyDeleteI do hope your neighbour is soon settled bless her... i'd hate to think that such treatment was happening to my mum or someone I loved. I bet you're all over the place aren't you?
Sending you love and hugs

ReplyDeleteSounds like you're having a busy week but still managed to learn a new stitch resulting in a VERY COOL bag! Thanks for sharing your space:)
ReplyDeleteGreat bag!
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely bag! your poor friend must be so upset. Hope she gets back to her own environment soon, bless her.. and bless you too for being such a caring friend.
ReplyDeleteLovely bag, gorgeous bright n funky colours. I hope your friend does indeed get home soo and can rest properly, cos we all know you never actually rest in hospital.
ReplyDeleteHow cute is that elephant, did you pack biscuits in with her for the journey?
Well done you on getting all of your 'to do' rail done considering what a busy week youve had!
ReplyDeleteI do hope your neighbour is settled back for somewhere longer than 5mins asap! Anyone would be so unsettled after half of what she's gone through in recent weeks. Oh bless.
Hey look at you, 98 followers Annie, that is amazing! Well done you! And I can fully see why, I love your mix of life, fun and work!

ReplyDeleteWow! You are so clever! I can't sew for toffee and hate it, so I am in awe of anyone who can make such nice things from material and threads. Gorgeous. I hope your friend makes a full recovery.
ReplyDeleteYou never fail to amazed me with your creativity. What next???? ikki

ReplyDeleteI love that WOYWW has brought me to your blog. Your fabulous textile art is such a wonderful change to all the paper I play with. Thank you so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit late getting started on my trip around the desks this week, I was getting ready for the arrival of my daughter and Daisy. She's no longer in her travel cot, but is now in a big girl's bed!
ReplyDeleteLovely work as ever... what fab colours.
Chrissie
OMG thta bag is brilliant! Wish I could sew! Thanks for the lovely comment on my blog ;)
ReplyDeleteI started at the bottom...which is now the middle and then forgot where I was! Love that little bag, I'm not here, hope Ican do woyww next week! Have a great woyww!
ReplyDelete((Lyn)
wonderful bag, and slowly going round woyww today.. :))
ReplyDeleteHow do you find the time to do all this? Love to see what you have been up to and that bag is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you rail is keeping you busy but not busy enough if you've had time to create this pretty bag - It's gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteSending get well wishes for your friend.

hey I thought I was no 10 and then you beat me to it, how did that happen, we must have all been trying to get on at the same time, LOL happy WOYWW :)
ReplyDeleteLovely bag - the crochet looks fab!
ReplyDeleteHope you have an emergency free week...Esther xx
What a gorgeous bag - I had to click for a closer look - couldn't believe it was crochet!
ReplyDeleteI'm really excited about September, I'm slightly in shock that I haven't caved. Every time she has it on the tv I'm dying to go grab the box from under the stairs! I'll take lots of pics of her opening him :P
I agree a customer needs to see somewhere between a 1/10 and a 3/10 on the messy scale otherwise they would not want to make a return visit
ReplyDeleteI think a 3/10 just sums this up, but love your organisation of moving from one rail to the other. That bag is sure cool and colourful too.
Thanks for the return belated snoop
Hugs Kate xx
Lovely bag and I like the yarn colors too. I hope your friend is feeling better soon.
