    About

    Another idea to raise funds ..... sold in my local charity shop. So far, in 15. months, we have raised over £900 !‼️
    Using glass pots from GU desserts 🍮 and lids from my coffee jars I crochet spiral circles that overlap them by one row and then work straight up the sides. Stuffed with all the trimmings of yarn ends, I then work decreases to cover the base.
    Decorated with dressmaking pins and odd buttons from my button boxes.
