The stitchwork project to fix the image of Alfie, the cockapoo that likes to wear bowties at Christmas, is finished. I’m not sure I got his ears quite right. And maybe I’ve put his eyes too close together. Here are some pictures of both the finished item and work in progress. All my stitchwork projects began during the Coronavirus isolation. I stitch an image on to old T-shirts that were destined for the bin.
Alfie left hanging around…Alfie in progress…Alfie at the beginning…
I'm originally from Liverpool and worked as a national magazine journalist for more than 30 years before suffering a stroke at age 53. I started blogging as part of a neuro-rehabilitation programme and wrote the very first entries with one finger of my disabled left hand. Later, art became another therapy for me at Headway East London's Submit To Love studios. I blog regularly and volunteer as a teaching assistant, coaching schoolchildren in aspects of journalism.
