Some Joy...

The recent events in Sydney have left me very sad....

I've spent some time on a wool felting project which 

didn't require much thought.


The wool 'roving' was a bargain at Daiso!



I was inspired by this photo on the BHG website.


It took no time to put together...


I embroidered some "JOY" onto the little felt flags.


And have it hanging on my mirror!


That's the best photo I could get, without showing 

you my messy sewing corner!

Now I am planning some new, more challenging 

shapes...


with this lovely packet of rainbow wool I bought 

yesterday!

But first I have some hashtag blocks to make for Mollie Sparkles!

I hope you find some joy in today, and everyday.

  12. I never thought of craft shopping in Daiso! Adorable garland!
    I am trying not to think about all the sad news this week - Sydney, Pakistan and now Cairns. I keep reminding myself that the JOY in the world rarely hits the news.
