Blanket Raffle...A bit more info.

Someone suggested recently that I should add a picture of myself at work and talk a bit about what I do  at the Margaret Coates Centre, as a way to promote my blanket raffle. The Margaret Coates Centre is part of St Martins Garden Primary school and is an accredited resource base for children with Autism. This is only picture I have, dressed up for World Book Day 2020.

One of the skills I rely on the most is my ability and willingness to PLAY ! It was Maria Montessori that said "Play is the work of children" and I am 100% committed to keep them gainfully employed.  If that means being an Avenger and running around like a loon, or creating playground 'real life' games from their favourite online activities then so be it.  This was also the reason and impetus to raise money for our play environment and  to support the play of our children. (Play isn't JUST for children - I think I need it just as much as they do!)

I will add a free entry to my raffle for the first person to guess my character from my World Book Day dress up. Comment below...But, if you're not quick enough tickets are available by pinging £5 over to my Paypal account at PayPal.Me/woollycraftwonders . Alternatively you can give me cash. We've already reached the amazing figure of £140 but I'd love to make it more. Thanks for reading xx

WIN THIS BLANKET!!

 

Blues & Greens.

 

I'm resurrecting the long abandoned blog to make an Announcement!!

I am raffling off my beautiful handcrafted Blues & Greens Sunburst Grannysquare blanket. All proceeds will go to my school (and place of work) the Margaret Coates Centre and St Martins Garden Primary.  

This project started during the first Lockdown we experienced in March 2020. It was a way to keep my mind and hands busy during a difficult and uncertain times. I have long used crafting (crochet, knitting and spinning) as a way to process my feelings and emotions and out of that came this blanket.

Made from a variety of yarns this beautiful textured blanket will brighten any room. The weighted feel will make you feel cosy and warm.  Measuring approximately 5ft Sq. it is suitable for a single or double bed, or use as throw over the sofa. Perfect for snuggles.

To win this special and unique blanket send £5 to www.paypal.me/woollycraftwonders and the winner will be randomly selected on SATURDAY 13TH FEBRUARY (to celebrate our much needed Half Term break) and it will be posted or delivered to the lucky recipient.

Like most schools our funding has been hit hard by Covid, so on potentially one the most miserable of weeks of the year please spread a little happiness and support a worthy cause.

Feel free to share far and wide.

Thanks friends x

p.s. my blogging life has had several incarnations but I stopped once I started working full time at my current school and mothballed my attempts to earn a living from Wool. Now I just use it to self sooth and express my creativity ❤️
