    Christmas 2019. Item 11. Ginny the Giraffe!

    11. Ginny the Giraffe!
    She’s utterly adorable. Look at her! She is approx 42cm in length and loves cheesy wotsits. She’s looking for a forever home. Could it be with you?

     

    She’s no trouble. Apart from the wotsit crumbs.

    Thank you so much lovely Claire P! xxx

  • The Blanket for SanJunipero

    The Blanket for SanJunipero

    To everyone who contributed to our beautiful Woolly Hug,

    Our blanket arrived this morning and it’s so, so lovely. I can’t imagine the hours and hours of work you all must have put into it – and you’ve never even met us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart; I love it, and promise we’ll treasure it forever.

    There are so many beautiful little details; I’ve spread it out on the floor to look at and keep noticing new things – flowers, stars, rainbows, our initials, chicks, tea and cake, sewing, Harry Potter, little birds… even a hedgehog! Everything she loved is there.

    I’ve been showing our son the blanket, and he particularly loves taking the little guinea pig and chick out of their pockets smile He was nine months old when my wife died and turned eighteen months last week, so he’s now got to the point where he’s had longer without her than with her. That’s been a sad thought for me over the past few days, so our Woolly Hug arrived just at the right time.

    Thank you all again so very much.

    The Christmas Cwtch palette

    We were delighted when the staff at the Great North Children’s Hospital contacted us and asked for help. They would like some very special Little Hugs making to use in the run up to Christmas for very sick children in  hospital over this period. So we are looking for squares in the SSDK colours below. Christmas designs/themes/embellishments warmly welcomed. This project will help children and their families at very difficult times.

    Christmas cwtches could also be made in these sort of colours in cotton Christmassy prints, lightweight quilts. These must be machine washable and tumble dry possible only please. Size wise we are aiming to send a mix of sizes from baby sized (24 inch squares) up to single bed sized.

    • Cream
    • Grass green

    • Kelly green
