Handmade Week #10

This week has once again been a busy week. I posted two knitted Donkeys off to a Donkey Sanctuary in Crete and they have been gratefully received.


I also managed to knit another four of the Sewing Companion Bunnies, although only one of those four, is completely finished and that one's for me ; )

My very dear and super talented Dad made me this Ribbon Box
this week and I went to Fleet in Hampshire, to collect it on Saturday and then my Dad, my sister, DH and me took ourselves off to the



Monthly Market in the Maltings in Farnham, Surrey for a good mooch around. It was excellent. From there we went to
The Heron on the Lake for our lunch which was my treat as way of a thank-you to Dad for my fabulous ribbon box.
Today, Sunday, I have spent sometime adding my ribbons to the box and tidying up my Craft Room once again!!

Do pop along to Wendy's Blog and take a look at what Wendy has been working on this past week and find out all about Handmade Monday.

  4. Will your dad consider adopting me? That ribbon box is lovely, am seriously coveting it and I do not look that great in green.

    The donkeys are really cute, bet they will engender a lot of support for the Santuary.

  16. The ribbon box looks brilliant and the cottons look great on the top too. I may have to show my dad this post as he is quite a handy carpenter and maybe i could persuade him to make me one.
