Bits & Bobs

 Good Morning All

I only make a couple of Valentine Cards to go in the box at the Craft Shop and this is one of them, plus another of similar style but a Birthday card.

The flowers are from  digital Junk Journal kit and I think the papers are LOTV.

I used some scraps of embossed card



The Craft Shop has a sale on after Christmas and I bought this lovely, multi coloured chunky wool.
I crochet hats and cowls for the homeless.
I can get about 2 per night done so I have  nice bundle on a Friday to take for the lady who distributes them.
I got about 14 balls and each hat takes about 1 ball.



My craft ladies give me all their odd balls of wool and I use them for the homeless or blankets for the dogs.  Nothing goes to waste.

It would have been my Dads birthday today.  I think he was a similar age to Mum and she is 97 I think but he has been gone for over 20 years.
Its surprising how often I think of him just lately, I dont know why.
