Friday Smiles

 Happy Friday Everybody,

It's good to be back after a few weeks being absent.  I hope you've all had a good week.

Today I'm showing a couple of pictures I took at our village club on Monday.  Brenda who is standing in the brown jacket had a class where she taught us how to make dogs and owls using face flannels.

Brenda does lots of fundraising for the local hospice and we either paid for the animals we made or gave them to her for her fundraising.

Below is a picture of my brown dog and his little buddy who was made by my friend.  Neither of us are in the photos.


I haven't any special plans for the weekend but I did have a good time last week.  I went to Ally Pally on Saturday with friends and to a craft workshop on Sunday.

I hope you all enjoy the upcoming weekend whatever you have planned.  I'm linking with Annie on her Stitch in Time blog where every Friday we share things that have made us happy during the week.

How cute your little critters are! It's amazing how you can get such a great expression and so much character from a facecloth
Have a great smiley weekend.

That looks like a great workshop. Were the dogs made in a way that the receiver could use the flanel? Or did you just use the flanel as material? Whichever the case it is a cute idea and the result is really nice. I hope it makes some money for the hospice. (I have a soft spot for the hospice as I worked at the Bristol hospice for 22 years).
Thank you for visiting mine and have a great week,
Lisca
