You may have heard the dreadfully sad news that MamaTeeTee’s husband died suddenly at the end of December. Mental ill health can be such a devastating illness. Bless his heart. Life has been very cruel to them. We send MamaTeeTee and their little children our love and are so sorry for their loss. Thanks

We are so glad that she has accepted our offer of a Woolly Hug, we hope it may give whatever comfort it can. There will be love crafted into every stitch. MamaTeeTee’s thread is here...

So we are now asking for help once again Sad Thanks

We need crocheters, knitters and donors (of funds or wool) Sincere thanks. Thanks If you would like to be involved in any way, please post on this thread and PM us with your offers: crafting, donating, need wool, etc, we can help you with all of it.

Thank you so much Thanks

    From MamaTeeTee
    His favourite things were family time, food and the gym. Our initials are M, C, L, Z. He was a builder and loved his work. He was so talented. He loved music - he would listen to anything. He was born in the wrong era as he loved 50s and 60s music.

    I'm overwhelmed by your kindness. It's such a lovely thing for you all to do for us. X


    Bless her heart, we will make something very beautiful for them as a tribute to her fabulous DH.

Thanks Thanks We already have a lovely donor to thank, honestly your donations mean so much to us, we always want to be inclusive, for everyone to join in if they would like to, and some folk just wouldn't be able to afford to. Your kind donations make it possible. Thank you.


Thanks notonyurjellybellynelly Star


You really are a star, bless your heart. Wool will be going out today to crafters who will make beautiful squares for MamaTeeTee and her children from you both. Thank you again Thanks
