I'll be running an auction early July and all the money will go to charity (North Shore Hospice). I'll be advertising it end June, early July, so you can keep any eye out for it.

Mine are enveloped up and addressed, sitting beside me, ready to post tomorrow. And I even blocked them - LOL.

And yay!! Georgie sent them over to you. :vibes: :vibes: I have some wool that will go with those patterns as kits.
I love Georgie - she is the best.

She did! :vibes: Georgie's a star - I got such a surprise to have two unexpected parcels from Australia on the same day and Georgie's was one of them. There was another pattern, which shall remain nameless (for now :wink: ) to be revealed soon...

I finally :oops: whipped up some bodysuits. It'll be a week or so before the metal snaps I have ordered for these arrive (I want to use metal snaps for less bulk), hopefully they'll be ready to be dropped off in time for you launching the listings. So sorry for the delay! I'm so hopeless at deciding on things and once again I couldn't decide what to do. I spent a bit of time thinking about what would "sell" and whether to make something that could go into a set with some knitting you've received already. In the end I figured whatever would be useful so ended up with a pair of girly cotton lycra and pair of blue merino bodysuits, all in 3 mth size in crossover style.

Will come for a visit to get them to you once the snaps have arrived & I've been able to finish it off. Will be in touch... :vibes:

Thanks so much Fi, for the huge package of goodies which arrived yesterday! :vibes:

Some gorgeous gorgeous knitting kits containing hand-dyed (by Fi) yarn with trim and a fancy printed Milo pattern from Georgie (Tikki). These are super scrumptious.

A beautiful rainbow dress, also hand-dyed by Fi:

And there is another larger dress in the same style in deep purples, but my camera spat the dummy when I was downloading the pictures, so will have to take another picture soon.

Some wee contributions from me.

My absolutely novice hand-dyed hat (what fun!)
Image

And a wee ruffly, shirred skirt for a wee poppet about 2 - 3 years old.
Image

I am almost ready to load auctions, so get in touch if you want to contribute anything (if you haven't already). Thanks everyone :)

I'd love you come for a cuppa and fondle too Angie! :vibes:

Late next week will be fine, if I decide to load auctions before then, I can change the finish date to get yours in line with the rest anyway (or just let it run longer, which would be fine too :D ).

Thanks sweetie :)
