Prototype Santa Gonk made.
A few things on him that I'd change.
Took 3-4 days to make. Sits at roughly 10" tall, 16" in total including the legs.
Not thought of a price yet.
If anyone is interested just let me know.

All the Ukrainian sunflowers got handed in today, ready to be shipped off to Ukraine in the next few weeks.
Thank you to those who donated!
Hopefully they'll reach quite a few children and put at least a small smile on their faces πΊπ¦π»
I am working on the 5th sunflower at the moment. Quite a few more to go after that and then I can open up to donations again!
Taking longer than I thought πΊπ¦ ππ
2 sunflowers down, quite a few to go!
Thank you SO much for your donations!
Keep them coming in and share the pinned post ππ πΊπ¦
I enjoy making these and I'm learning to hold back a few naughty words when I miss-count stitches and have to unravel quite a bit! π
Thank you again.
Everyone is doing something to raise money for the Ukrainian refugees.
I want to do my bit too.
I want to raise money, as well as donate these sunflower teddies to all the children who have had to leave their toys at home and run to safety.
For every Β£5 you donate, I will make one of these teddies and they will get shipped to Ukraine through a local donations group based in Bognor Regis.
You can also purchase one for Β£15 to show you are helping the Ukrainians in your own little way.
Donations to be made through PayPal. I have looked at their terms and conditions.... If I set a fundraiser up through them, they will take quite a big percentage out, which isn't fair.
If you make a donation under "friends and family", all funds are fee free and can be donated directly to multiple charities.
Here's the link. And thank you!

My Ukrainian sunflower!
Throughout Ukraine's history, the sunflower has been used as a symbol of peace.
It is now used as a symbol of solidarity ππ πΊπ¦

So I will be making these little gift bags soon.
Perfect for guests at weddings, to give a gift to your loved one (like an engagement ring) or maybe to have your wedding rings in for your big day!
Colours can be chosen at your request.
Β£2.50 each, prices for bulk can be negotiated
I said goodbye to my step-grandad last week with the rest of the family.
It was a lovely send off, emotional and I did shed a few tears.
I am determined to make this blanket and raise as much money as I can for Parkinson's UK
I am now at roughly 8,892 stitches with more colour changes to happen!
