Oh Trin . I do hope your blanket shows you a little bit of the love we feel for you.

TrinityRhino · 27/03/2014 11:43

morning all

I can safely say that my wonderful, gorgeous, love filled Woolly Hug has arrived!

My friend signed for it as I was upstairs and I'm afraid the UPS guy didn't have shorts on. Grin

It is nestling on the couch until later on when we can open it all together.

I'm excited as anything, It will be amazing Smile

ZingSweetCoconut · 27/03/2014 12:33

Yay, how exciting, it will be so beautiful! Smile

So glad it has arrived safely, Trin, you'll be opening it soon, I hope you and the girls love it. We say love in every stitch because it is true. Tis a big hug from us all.

Thinking of Cliff and your DH too.

Peace, love and light to you Trin Thanks

I've just read this on Pinterest 10 mins ago and thought of you:

"One day someone is going to hug you so tight that all of your broken pieces will stick back together"

love you

Wonderful crib figures, woolly, that must have taken an age. I love the colours. Thank you for posting the photo, I'm sure it will help raise more for MIND to do that, especially with specialist/larger items like this.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 30/03/2014 08:36

On Mothers’ Day, we send our love to all families within our Woolly Hugs’ community, but particularly those for whom this will be a day touched with sadness.

Thinking of all our recipient families, and all our donors and crafters who are missing someone they love too.

Sending strength, love and huge hugs. Our thoughts are with you.

Pistey and Knotty X
