WOYWW545
Hello my friends. Well, what a week it has been. Last Friday Canu (pronounced canny, and means singing) Camilla and I went out along the coast to Abakhan at Mostyn. We took the scenic route as the day was so lovely – in other words, we missed our turning off the A55! We were going to meet up with Angela – crafting with Jack. We had a wonderful time – laughter rang through the tearoom, we sat there for well over two hours getting to know this new WOYWWer. Thanks Angela – we thoroughly enjoyed meeting you.
So then it was time to tackle that box from last week… Ta-da!!!…
And, apart from more crocheting of blanket squares – stash busting – that is the sum total of my crafting activities this week. I’m quite pleased with the box – but it took some fathoming out and doing – very time consuming. Then, I had a phone call from a lady who often knits and sews for Uganda – she brought me lots of jumpers, pencil cases and Bible bags for the children. Huge thanks to her – but no sooner had she gone home, but she was back on the phone to say that another local church had someone who donated knitted blankets to them, could she do anything with them? Could she indeed! Her hubby brought me 7 huge, beautifully knitted blankets. Wow! Folks are just so kind!!
I woke on Saturday morning, got up, and opened the bedroom curtains to this absolutely amazing sight!…
Dashed for the camera! – and within a few minutes I was going from the front of the house to the back to see what was happening…
The first two are the view at the front. This is the view from the back. The sky was coloured by the sunrise right through the whole 360 degrees. Then, as the sun finally came over the horizon…
WOW!!! What a sight.
So, that’s me this week folks – not much to report, really.
I trust this finds you well, and enjoying your crafting. I actually managed to visit everyone last week, and to comment on all but one. I love your work, Kathryn – I just can’t leave a comment… wish I could.
Take care, everyone. God bless.
Margaret
I am sure that future boxes won’t take as long now you have made one Margaret. It is lovely. Glad to hear of three WOYWWers having such a good meet up too. Happy WOYWW. Sarah #1
love the box – well done for that . but oh, that sunrise!!!!!!!! how glorious was that. what a treat. I can just see you running from front to back to capture the moving spectacle. Have a lovely week. Helen #3
What a wonderful post of kindness Margaret, a lovely meet up with Angela and then such generosity from another. There are many people out there that give so much, it’s a wonderful feeling if we have such people in our lives. That box was worth all the time put into it, it’s beautiful. Fabulous photographs, i’d have to print and frame those, beautifully captured.

Wow Margaret, those sunrises are something really special. I bet you thought there was something going on to see the sky so red. You could frame those photos.
Loving your box – hard work but well worth it.
Nice to read of your trip out to meet the other WOYWWers – nothing like sharing good times.
Hugs and Blessings, Neet 10 xx
Wow, that last pic is amazing! Just proves that it;s worth getting up early occasionally (something I’m not very good at doing!). How lovely to meet up with Angela, especially when you get on so well too – do you think she’d be able to come to the Crop next June? The box is really lovely and reminds me of the musical box at the beginning of Camberwick Green (or was it Trumpton?) I loved it when the figure came up out of the middle x

What a beautiful box you have created and I’m sure the next one will be easier! What wonderful photos of the sunrise. I always watch the sunrise…sometimes I miss the sunset but most mornings I’m up before the rooster! Happy WOYWW!

Fabulous box Margaret, what a wonderful make. I love the photos too – certainly worth framing – just stunning. So glad you had a lovely week meeting up with Angela and such kindness with the donations – there are so many good people out there.

That box is well worth the struggle, it’s beautiful.
Marvellous photos, I am not up at sunrise!! usually just going to sleep after lying awake all night …. I understand it’s an age thing.
Have a blessed week

What a sight to wake up to – looks a lot like my sunset shots – I could have sworn it was a sunset! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a morning sky like that. Lovely boxes too. Thanks for your visit earlier – enjoy the rest of your week! xx zsuzsa #20
Well, I have to start with the finish…those pictures! What a glorious sunrise, I absolutely love the picture of the whole town turn to gold, what a wow! So glad you had a happy timing meeting Angela, and a lovely scenic journey too, always a nice way to visit!
Congratulations on the box, it looks marvellous. Way too fiddly for me, but quite a stunner as a wrapper!
Hi Margaret, wow, aren’t those photos of the sunrise spectacular! Love the little boxes, so detailed. Just sat in bed starting my visiting, lol. Slowly but surely improving, sat out of bed today for the first time since Saturday. Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #2 X
Your boxes are definitely worth a WOW! Or more! Gorgeous skies! Worth a few more WOWs!
Thanks for popping by and have a most blessed week!

Thank you for your comment. Still in a daze at the moment, waiting on news from coroner. I spoke to my brother on the Thursday, so quite a shock. It was lovely meeting you and Camilla. Your box is very pretty x
Hi Margaret, the box looks amazing but, the view is stunning from all the angles 🙂 ~Stacy #28
I love the photos on your post today! Wow so beautiful. Happy belated WOYWW. Dorlene #29
Hi Margaret, the trip with friends sounds lovely – when the weather’s good the scenic route’s the best. And how nice to meet up with yet another WOYWWer too. Your sunrise photos are spectacular – though it does, at first glance, look like the town is on fire. Well done to all those industrious ladies – I’m sure their donations will be much appreciated. The little box is delightful too. Hugs, Elizabeth x #21
Oh Margaret I can’t take my eyes off of the sun rising. That is breathtaking. Thank you for sharing because I love looking at sunrises and sunsets and I always run for my camera when I see an extra beautiful one.
Ok, I am loving those boxes and want to make something like that. Was it a kit or cut file? I love the intricasies but I bet it was a lot of work to assemble. But the result is stunning. Thanks for visiting me. I am running late with my visits. Have a blessed day my friend!
