    Belarus Blog. In the bar at Gatwick!

    Good news. We are in the right place at the right time. They have accepted our luggage even though the Billie’s Blanket bag has had to go as oversized. Rude! It did fortunately scrape in at 22.9kg (out of 23) In for the win! All the hearty hearts are in too.

    So we are in the bar. Relieved.

    It’s good.

    Belarus Blog. 23kg of Billie’s Blankets, all hail vac packing!

    So we (G&G) leave for Osipovichi, Belarus this coming Wednesday and having talked about making the trip for about ten months, it feels like it’s come around very quickly. With us we are delighted to be taking 23kg of Billie’s Blankets, all Hearty Hearts, as well as some requested Lego kits and as much Sudocrem as possible. Ooooooo and two space hoppers! Around this we are going to squeeze in clothes for us, although the option of wearing everything on the plane has been discussed! We also and very definitely take all the Woolly Hugs’ crew with us in spirit.

    We can do this…

    Discovered the joys of vac packing (late adopters here) and it genuinely was very exciting (saddos) but the glories of it mean we can get at least 50 blankets in our 23kg quota. And that’s fabulous.

    We shall be updating our Belarus Blog frequently, please do follow us. We know for sure parts of this trip will be very challenging emotionally and it will really help to know the Woolly Hug crew are with us.

    The Blog automatically shares to our Twitter feed, we will share links onto Facebook and Instagram.

    Thank you for every item we are taking with us. Truly and always love in every stitch. xxx

    Spring Auction. Number 236. Double bed sized vintage quilt

    236) Amazing handmade, double bed sized vintage quilt this is stunning. It incorporates many fabrics, corduroy, satin, cottons and is backed in white cotton. It will need some tlc. We are leaving washing to the buyer. There are odd marks and a little damage to some of the texture of a few squares. But very minimal. It needs a new life!
