2nd Generation Poncho

Afternoon all

It’s been another beautiful day here is South East Queensland, a warm day with an overnight low of 10 degrees

It’s been so quiet today. My back has been extremely painful for the last few days that  I actually took so pain meds as i could not move and sitting was just about impossible, taking this has been i have slept all afternoon but have woken up feeling a little better, so thought i do this blog post. Sitting here someone as put their wood burner fire on as I can smell the wood burning such a lovely smell feels like you need a pot of soup or hot chocolate.
The picture is of my grand daughter with a phonco that was made for Mother's sister twenty five plus years before by her great great Aunty who had a stroke and the only way she could crochet  was to put the hook in a holder that would hold the needle upright. Both her mother and her Aunty wore the poncho.At some stage i added extra rows so that they could get more wares from it and it has been worn by all the girls in the family since

 

I completed this layout for Kraft Plus. This month the challenge was to use Paper Cuts (or fussy cut) .

I also made a card from the scraps left over in the bag. Now I only have two sheets left of the Morning Dew Collection and no Collectables. Although i have been told our local Spotlight has some
