An Infestation of Cuddlies

For a while the ladies at LDNE’s Knit’n’natter group got into making simple cuddly toys.

Or rather they would knit them and we volunteers would sew up and stuff them.

There was a handy dado rail around the room we met in, which was great for sitting them on for photographs.

Things got a little silly, because nobody took them down.

And there's more again...

We've been challenged to line the whole room with cuddlies!

Actually we didn’t rise to the challenge because one of the Senior Management Team approached me and asked me to take them down.  The problem was that she has a phobia of things with long tails and they gave her such a case of the collywobbles that she couldn’t enter that room for meetings with service users or staff.

Since the start of the present unpleasantness all the cuddlies have been hiding away out of sight, in a box in the loft.  One day, maybe, there might be a craft fair or stall we could take them too.  One day …
