Morning Everyone,
How did you spend your Thursday afternoon?
I spent mine, sandwiched in between two shifts at work, Painting Purley Purple.
Well wrapping trees and benches with purple knitting anyway.
It's amazing the stupid questions and comments that you get, including 'are we keeping the trees warm for the winter'!!!!!!!
Still I suppose at least it shows they noticed something.
We do it to raise awareness, and support the local Cancer Centre whose logo colour is purple.
One man didn't care who it was being done for, he just hates purple!!
There were of course a lot of wonderful positive comments, including one foreign gentleman working on one of the building site. In his country all of the towns and villages have a colour associated with them and as his village colour is purple, it reminded him of home which made him very happy.
The plan is for this to remain in place for the whole of October so if you are passing through Purley during that time do look out for our handiwork.
Off to class this afternoon. It will seem strange not to see piles of knitting dotted around the place. I'm sure that there will be the odd bit of wool still on the carpet, but as we are working with dies this afternoon I told Davina that it would be a complete waste of time to vacuum before we arrived lol.
Have a great crafty afternoon.
Happy stamping and hugs
