This is what I have been working on in the last few weeks, this makes it to a total of 10 baby sets for the Guardian Pharmacy knitting drive.
They have their pattern booklet available on line now from here.

I have also been busy cutting up squares and making 9 patch blocks for the Aussie Heros and have posted off 2 lots of fabric to be made into quilts. Anyone who is wanting to help but does not sew can do so in a very practical way by buying some pre paid postal bags to send to Jan-Maree. Click on the Aussie Hero logo on the right side of my blog to find out how you can help.

My daughter and her husband have come down to stay and visit for this week which is really lovely, we do not get to see them very often which is why my blog has been very slow in the postings. We are having a very lovely time.

Annie Swap

Now that my partner has received her doll I can show you what I made for her. This is a Sewing Annie Keeper, instead of legs it has a flat base and a pocket to hold her bits and pieces, scissors, measure etc. She was very happy with what I made her, It was so much fun.

Crafternoon.

 I had been taking pictures as we made things step by step, but until the last picture I did not notice I did not have the card in the camera, so I only have these two pictures.
They had a lovely time, making safety pin jewellery and safety pin angels,

They have also started on their Barbie furniture. Clothes peg crafts, this is the start of their tables.
They had a great time and are looking forward to the next one.
