New Design, Good Cause, and a Finish!

Yay, how are you all?
I'm shivering here in windy, stormy, windy, cold, windy, freezing Ireland.  I've been working in my office with a coat on and a hot water bottle under my jumper. Honestly! Well, if nothing else it made me work faster so I could get downstairs and sit by the fire!

I have a new design which will be for sale soon but for now it will be part of a charity fundraise for the WWF through the facebook page Cross Stitch For Charity.

Lots of designers have donated charts and members of the fb group pay donations towards the charity which we all vote for and can stitch all or some of the charts on offer.  During Christmas we raised money for Childline and Toys for Tots and a Canadian children's charity: this time we are raising money for the World Wildlife Fund.

This is my contribution.  The Animal's Prayer


The words say:
Grant me food, fresh and green
Grant me water, cool and clean
Grant me land that I may roam
Grant me safety in my home
All my prayers I hope you hear,
Grant me life free from fear

There are lots of other designers donating charts for this cause and what is nice is people can just donate a little bit or a lot, and still have access to the charts.  Why not pop over and say I sent you.  There are some quite well known names donating charts!

Oh, and I finally have a finish! A cot size blanket for my daughter's baby.




I'm so pleased with it that I'm going to try and do more crochet!

Holmsey Hare's YOTH March will soon be released...do you want to see a sneaky peek?


Excust the state of the photo...it's grey and miserable here so camera skills are not the best!

Right..I need to make baby things.

Have a great week!
