Patched up granny cardi



Postman Dave brought me a  parcel of goodies 
from the lovely Jessie Chorley textile artist/stitcher


and I quickly made use of the printed templates


by stitching them onto some gingham
and then onto my granny cardi that I got from 
the charity shop ages ago.


I've just realised the brooch I made looks like a nipple tassle 
Well it would if my boobs weren't six inches lower haha.


I made this basket brooch yesterday
when I should have been working in the office.
Don't tell the boss will you.



See you next week and
thanks for dropping by

  2. Well, you need to make another nipple tassel brooch so you can get them twirling in opposite directions 😁 Love your blue legs!

  4. Love the decorated cardi - very stylish and pretty. Had to laugh at Jan's comment, I was just about to say you needed another brooch on the other side for balance! Love the blue legs too!

  6. Amazing what you can do with a bit of imagination and pazzazz, Lynne! Fabulous makeover! Granny would be soooo proud. Thank you for your fun comment which made me laugh - I know the feeling - my brain is so full of kittens at the moment that there isn't much room for anything else!! We are seeing them for the first time tomorrow - exactly 24 hours from now! Can't wait.

    Happy WOYWW,

  16. The "patches" really added to the cardigan and I laughed about your nipple tassel comment. I didn't even think that until you said it. What a hoot! Love your blue legs and shoes. Thanks for the visit and I hope you have a great week!

  19. WOW! Those tights and shoes are marvellous! Love them! What a fantastic colour. And your pockets on your cardigan - such a brilliant idea - are they pockets or just patches? They look great anyhow.
    Thanks for visiting me - sorry I am so late, been in bed ill but fine now.
    Hugs, Neet xx
