Should we ban the over 65s from social media?
The government are considering banning the elderly from social media as their brains haven't properly developed. But is a ban a step too far?

I'm not sure many people realised my new hand embroidery piece was actually a hat! 🤠👍
So I thought I'd better put it on & show it from another angle

Back to this WIP after completing an over size jumper.. Happy with how the 'ray' turned out. Thought felt scraps might be easier to work with my usual fabric ones, but found not necessarily so!! #fabricart #craft #sewing #embroidery #helios #sun

Sewing up jumper, very plain, nothing fancy. Stylecraft pattern I've used many times, but used different wool brand as I really liked the colour. Looks enormous, should have tested tension and gone a size smaller. Hey, slouchy jumper it is!!! #showmeyourknits #knitting #craft

I think that the Klaziena shawl is my favourite crochet project. I have done several over the last few years and they always take my breath away when done. 🧶

This is going to be the the start of something sun themed, as always recycling fabric so I have to be flexible about what I can do... #fibreart #feltwork #craft #embroidery

An annual delight, always worth checking in with throughout your Christmas Eve-ning.
And you can give to a homelessness charity too if you want to help those without any sort of bed.

This is the 15th year of #DuvetKnowItsChristmas, which is preposterous. Rules: if you find yourself dealing with unusual / claustrophobic / gaudy sleeping arrangements this Christmas Eve, share a picture with the world. Use the hashtag (with capitalisation) and cc me if you can be bothered.
