Thank you @outlander, you're very kind. I think it was my reaction to the suggestion of hospital that was teh deciding factor! I hurt my hand today, made me think of you and yours (which I hope is getting better) so not too much crafting going to be done.  Started a new thread --------->, feel welcome to join in, didn't tag anyone as not sure who might be interested. 

I did get my parcel of new tatting shuttles in today so that's really cool, now I have working bobbin shuttles again. 

Crafting goodness to all who pass by.

im not a fan of hospital either @Former-Member im gld they had something strong enough for you. oh damn, its abit hard to do things one handed so i hope your heals quickly for you. yeh its jsut a tad better today thankfully. only taken nearly 10 days to finally feel a small difference. 

im glad your parcel come today too. hopefully you can use them soon

Now we have unicorn socks/slippers (or one unicorn sock/slipper and the challenge of making it a pair) with a dancing prancing little person happy with the size 😁🦄💗

@Former-Member and @outlander

OOH, awesome @CheerBear waiting on image clearance. 

New things that have been especially made for one are so so special. I'm smiling just thinking about the dancing prancing one unicorn-sock-footed little one. 

[Former-Member]

OH wow, that is really special @CheerBear 

Goodness how totally pretty and cool and just awesome! Ummm outstanding work, and outstanding use of unicorn yarn too. Can't stop smiling at them and the vision of little dancing feet in them.

I hope you're keeping some sort of record of these things you make for the littles so that in time they can look back and remember how much you cared/ did for them. 

Puts me in mind of a movie book I read, The Sewing Machine. The lady and her daughter sewed many things and would keep a tiny swatch of the fabric and thread sewn onto a wee booklet kept of every item made, who it was for and how much it cost and was paid (iirc). Lovely story. 

I can image you in a pair of these @outlander. 

[outlander]

oh @CheerBear they are really cute! can you please send me a pair!

@Former-Memberim not sure i would wear them, be to scared to wreck them but i would own a pair for sure!

[Former-Member]

they really are delightful. I do know what you mean @outlander, I'm like that with lots of things, which is totatlly silly - can't use the last bit of something I love (but will keep, not perish) because then it will be gone.

I can delay gratification for ever! 

[outlander]

no its not silly @Former-Member my nan done the same thing. she still had some of her favourite pieces of wrapping paper put away jsut in case she didnt find them again. its not silly at all

Thank you @Former-Member - you're so encouraging! I didn't use unicorn yarn as it was too chunky which is why it didn't fit I think. You reminded me of the two strands of yarn trick the other day/week with your finger knitting (I think it was that). So the colours are all one white strand and one rainbow (leftover fuzzball hedgehog yarn), white or grey. It worked really well!

Love love love the idea of a little swatch as a keepsake. I have lots of of photos of the things created. The little people do really enjoy and appreciate them 😊

I was hoping my scheepjes order would be in but that was wishful thinking so I'll practice some more patience. Have you started your green edges today?

@outlander - soooo many times I have wished I could make and send things to forum people! If I could I definitely would! My one footed dancing prancing one thanks you for the unicorn inspiration (these will be way cooler than unicorn yarn ones they think)😁😊

[outlander]

they are really good @CheerBear

do you mind if i save the picture? i really love them (no one seems them btw except me) they are very 'you'. i hope you make yourself a pair too
