Wow....where has all that time gone? I'm sure, like me, you are so pleased to be part of this wonderful group that Julia started all those 11 years ago. It's become even more important than ever during this difficult time so we have a lot to celebrate.
Julia suggested we didn't put extra strain on the postal service by making our usual ATCs and that we completed a UFO and do a show and tell today. Well, as you will all know since 17th April I have been making face masks every day [on average about 30 each day!!] so that's meant a lot of cutting of all my fat quarters and piles of new fabrics bought in for the job and this was the result....
A huge pile of pieces that has grown steadily over the weeks. The pieces were too big to throw away and I had in mind to use then for patchwork when all this madness ends so I put my thinking cap on and here's what I came up with.....
I've made myself a rainbow mask with WOYWW accross the front.....hope you like my purple lockdown hair to go with it. I have missed a couple of hair cuts so I thought I would brighten it up with some semi permanent hair dye [and to make the grandchildren smile of course].
I hope you like the new look. I would just like to say a huge thank you to our wonderful blog leader who takes the time out of her busy life to link us all up each week and to say here's hoping life returns to the 'new normal' soon so we can meet up to celebrate properly.
Hugs,
Annie x
Loving the rainbow, and the hair! Mine is in serious need of cutting and re-redding!! too much grey appearing for my liking (never noticed any before) Hope you have a happy WOYWW Helen #??
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to make a rainbow mask - wonder what people will make of the lettering when you go out and about wearing it? Aa good excuse for folk to ask you about it and make even more new friends.
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary
Hugs, Neet 5 xx
Morning Annie. Happy 11th anniversary! A great idea - using lots of patchwork sized pieces - a rainbow mask - brilliant! Loving the hair...
ReplyDeleteTake care. Stay safe. God bless.

LOVE your rainbow mask and having it dedicated to WOYWW was brilliant, too. I love it. I also like your hair and at least yours isn't as long as some people's I've seen. Purple suits you. Happy WOYWW from # 6.
ReplyDeleteLove the hair and the mask should have done your hair to match your mask. They have just made it compulsory here in Spain to wear masks in public places and outdoors. Bit late in my opinion. Have a happy 11th WOYWW anniversary. ANi #1
ReplyDeleteMorning Annie, that's an awful large pile of scraps, it will, hopefully, make an amazing quilt, if you ever slow down the mask production line.
ReplyDeleteLove the patchwork mask, and the purple hair, it suits you.
Bless you for sharing

I love the new look - the photo you sent me didn't really show the colour. Fab little mask - hope we can soon get out and use it! Happy 11th anniversary! xx Jo
ReplyDeleteHappy 11th WOWW Anniversary. Loving the mask and the hair. I am looking forward to seeing all the celebration makes today. Love to all. Catriona

ReplyDeleteWow Annie what a beautiful way to bring a smile to my face for this WOYWW anniversary. Your mask captures 2020 and the purple lockdown hair is an added bonus. Thank you for years of cheer and creative inspiration as we have shared our projects. Stay well and safe.

Thanks for visiting, Annie, and yes, rather too many UFOs Chez Shosh I'm afraid! Glad you enjoyed seeing them,

Happy 11th Bloggyversary! Oh I really like the purple hair, in fact you need to go a bit wilder when all this is over. I like you with longer hair too! Loving the rainbow mask - thanks for all the fun and friendship on woyww, the pics of you on my video made me smile!
ReplyDeleteHugs LLJ 4 xx
Happy WOYWW anniversary dear! Your rainbow-mask makes me smile, it goes so well with your funky hair! I, too, made a 'patchwork mask' because my son wanted me to use the little pieces of 'Japanese fabric' I had in my stash. They were too small to use but I came up with the patchwork and he loves it! Big hug from Holland, Marit #32

I'm sure you will think of something incredible to make with all those leftover pieces! Happy Anniversary, glad to be your WOYWW friend! Lindart #40
ReplyDeleteBefore I even looked at your mask I was thinking how lovely your hair looked.
