Things haven’t really improved this week, unfortunately it looks like my OH will be laid off at the end of the month as the furlough scheme comes to the end, he works in a community centre and because of the restrictions a lot of the groups can no longer meet and it means that it has had to reduce its opening hours dramatically and don’t have enough income to pay wages. It’s such a shame that at a time when a lot of people in our community need support that the centre won’t be there but I know they aren’t the only ones in this situation.
I have still been busy even though pretty much confined to home, we released Square 26 of 25 Years and counting this week, This is my version.

I have taken the basic pattern and changed colours in both the contrast and background colours, it was great fun to see how different I could make this basic pattern look.
I also continued in my attempt to have 50 hoops in time for my 50th Birthday, I have mostly concentrated on the Willow pattern kit by Susan Ryder, I’m nearing the end and hope to finish it by the weekend.

I have been trying to think of something positive to do in the run up to Christmas, because yes, there are things we aren’t going to be able to do because of Covid but I want to refocus and find something we can do, a different tradition, maybe a weekly Christmas film watch along or, decoration making Zoom sessions, tree decorating Zoom party, I don’t know, I just want to do something positive.
