When you make bookmarks for a library project but you can’t bring yourself to let go of this one

When it all comes together perfectly

07/11/2024

It’s coming on well.

Donations can be given, link in comment, but doesn’t feel like a challenge when crafting is a joy

Whatever the outcome, whatever the final amount, I’m proud of taking part

Busy here at Prime Wellbeing HQ

Creating multi tonal “cakes for capes” to bring colour into handcrafted unique items

And to pass on the love of learning to make your own

Looking forward to our retreat day on 23rd November and our inaugural Cath’s Capes play date on 5th December

Will you be joining us?

And todays taking time out

A Cath’s Cape and in fact could well be Cath Mowbray s cape because her reaction to the colours was just glorious

And a cape always fits 😄

Donations to 30 minutes a day knitting for Bone Cancer Support link also in the comments

Day Two

The aim is 30 minutes but more like an hour. And it’s my way to de stress so might have to do a couple more later 😝

Thanks for donating, details in the comments

Been a busy admin day. In clinic next couple of days and pleased to get these done for Barrow Foodbank donations for Cath’s Capes forthcoming worshops

And I’ll be at St Charles in Grange from 1pm on Sunday 24th November if anyone would like to purchase some yarn for a great cause

Love a plan coming together

Sessions will also include wellbeing practices to assist in teaching techniques of how to engage with your inner caped crusader spirit as well as making a marvellous item to wear

- quiet time for reflection, prompts for writing and yarn and tools for designing

and if you want to make a hat, pair of socks or a blanket, of course you can do that instead

I shall be knitting a cape and holding a raffle at the end of November - let's see how many 30 minutes a day can generate

Help Catherine Hunt raise money to support Bone Cancer Research Trust

something conjured up over the years, the Knitted Entrelac was the first, and the latest being the Mosiac Crochet Random Coloured

and thrilled to be offering to groups to find their inner hero's too

On location at End of the Road, waiting for the Healing Garden Crew to arrive, what else do I do to use the time productively? Shelter under a tree and crochet, and to be told “do you know how cute you look right now” by a colleague directing traffic – happy memories. You’ll often find me wi...

Feeling inspired, and a really pull to put this out there, maybe it's working already

Inspired by a lady i met on a call this week who had recently completed the 'original' artist's way, i've dusted this off and putting a plan in place

I'll be doing this starting on Sunday 24th November if you'd like to join me

What is a Morsbag?
A reusable cloth bag made from recycled fabric that is given away for free.

What is a pod?
A pod is a sociable group of morsbag makers - like a pod of dolphins - you can join a local pod or make one of your own here
https://morsbags.com/pods/
Nb you can have any number of people in your pod - from 1 upwards. Not everyone in the pod has to sew.
