Smiling doing the weekly shop x

Sorry if i've been quite for a while - we all seem to have had one of the many winter bugs going around which have wiped us off our feet meaning that as soon as little Ava is tucked up in bed Mommy and Daddy are soon to follow (so unlike us usual late nighters!) So precious crafting time has usually been spent tucked under a duvet instead of in front of a sewing machine. However energy levels for me at least seems to be coming back so i'll hopefully be able to catch up with some long overdue Christmas present making - how many days are there left now!!!!!!!!????????

Anyway i thought id share with you a lovely surprise at the supermarket today which many of you may have seen already this year or last year (but which is totally new to me and so made me smile). Smoothies with woolly hats - a collaboration of Innocent, Age Concern and Sainsbury's. Apparently the scheme ran last year and already this year over 513, 000 little hats have been knitted in a bid to raise over £250,000. So if you fancy doing some extra knitting then head over to their website or if you're not a knitter then show your support and choose your little woolly drink or veg pot x
