A fiddling sort of day.

 I gave my friend a gift of scissors with beading to attach the cap and the handle. I had made a few at once and were always handy as a gift. Anyway, with being pulled in and out of the bag my friend broke hers. So a repair was needed.

Got them all undone and laid out again.

Re threaded and finished. Lovely job.


Next was to work on a little bit more of my Fairy Godmother for our challenge. Now to be handed in at our Xmas dinner. If that will go ahead. As we are always in and out of snap lockdowns.

My work gave everyone a gift for saying Thankyou and working together during all this covid pandemic. It has been hard for everyone and they wanted to cheer us up a bit.

So here is a lovely chocolate package.


Sweet Blue Wren coffee cup. (We had a few designs to choose from) Thos was my favourite. There were chocolates, popcorn, hot chocolate melts and marshmallows too.

It's nice to be rewarded for putting in the hard yards.

That is a very pretty chain for the scissors and good that you can mend it when it breaks...
Looking forward to seeing the other project.

I bet your friend was devastated when her beading broke. Glad you were able to make it good as new. What a thoughtful gift from your employer. It’s nice to be appreciated.

Let's hope we have seen the end of lockdowns now. The chocolate gift was a nice gesture.
