Help Harry Help Others Fundraising

This is a little different to my other blog posts so far and I hope you will all help me in any way you can.  I met a very dear friend quite a long time ago on twitter called May.  She is the kindest lovely lady and I am so lucky to have her as a friend.  She is a very talented poet and you can find her website here http://www.survivorsburg2006.com/

We have recently got together and she has wrote a poem about knitting as she has picked up her knitting needles again, this gave her inspiration to write a great poem.

We have decided to let my blog readers think up a title for this poem and all you have to do is donate £2 or more if you can afford it to a just giving page I have set up for Help Harry Help Others http://www.justgiving.com/peggyscollection

Clickety Clackety the needles do go,

Row by row,

Watch it grow,

Is it a cardigan, jumper, or blanket? No

Once sewn it’s a little jacket,

Many garment’s you can knit,

When knitting needles part of a crafting kit,

Knit one, purl one, passes slip stitch over,

What’s next? A Gent’s pullover,

Family, Friends and Pets for all you can knit,

Also helps keep your brain fit,

Patterns concentration they do need,

Keeping it right for you to succeed,

Give yourself a challenge,

Knitting needles a pair,

Then knit something for yourself,

Or for others whom you do care.

All you have to do is leave a comment below and let me know you have donated however big or small and you will be in with a chance of winning the poem with your title on it and it will come as a scroll in a little knitted stocking.

So please try and help even if it is just £2 it all really will make a difference to this charity

Christmas wreath and birthday gifts

Christmas orders are coming in thick and fast and amongst all this I am finishing off Christmas gifts and birthday gifts I am making for my own family and friends

One of the most popular designs so far this season has to be the hand knitted cable wreath made in any colour with pine cones and organza to decorate them.

My mum's birthday is next Tuesday so I recently made her a cabled hot water bottle cover and bought her some other gifts. I also want to try and make her some special candles before next week. I also had a beautiful card made by My wonderful little designs who is on twitter @mwldesigns

I have lots of plans for the new year to start posting a lot more tutorials on my blog of how to make some items such as the wreaths, candles etc. I also would like to start a vlog for Christmas on youtube. This would obviously include a lot of my crafting too. If you would be interested in seeing any of this please let me know.
