2021 Week 5

Well that was a week and a half!

This single Ginger was designed to promote A children's mental health campaign in the two villages.

 

The design was approved . . .

The felt was delivered . . .


And I was in a different sort of lockdown for about 9 days

I treated myself with being allowed to do something different every 50 Gingers

This was the half way point (I didn't photograph the full number: as soon as the last one was finished I delivered them!)


Some of my 'rewards' were also Gingers LOL!  These two netball players


These prizes in a village Valentine's competition

And these to represent this month's challenge: 


We had a live cook along session where we made chocolate chip cookies


Yum!!!

And future bake offs cover pancakes,

cakes,

and around the world dishes, so this one has Norwegian waffles (served with whipped cream and jam made from lingonberries)

Another "between the Gingers" project was to use this up: It's a twist of sari scraps: mostly between 2 and 3 foot long.  I bought this at the last quilt show I went to (shows how long ago LOL) and I finally untwisted it to see what I'd bought.  I think there was a plan to make pompoms, then a thought about a crochet basket.  It turned out they weren't separate strips, but rather were joined end to end to make one long strip.

So I sat opposite Lizzie (tending to her needs every 4 or 5 minutes), wrapping sari strips around rope and zigzagging the whole lot together . . . and I love the result far more than pompoms or a small crochet basket!  I now have an ideal basket for my crochet when I get it back (I did try to cast on but I'm useless at it, so one of the church  ladies is doing it for me!!!)

  3. You really are the Queen of Gingers. I don't know how you keep coming up with these adorable designs. And I love your sari basket. You and Lizzie have done a great job. I'm not sure my machine could manage that :)
