Tomorrow is The MakeFest.
It's the final day for submitting Moody Octopus pieces as it is assembly day.
I had a goal in mind for how long I wanted each leg & I have just gone for it in the advance sewing up!
I wanted 96 pieces in total which would be 12 pieces per leg. Realistically we are going for 8 pieces per leg which means I have 6.5 legs!
Expecting more tomorrow too!
Expecting more tomorrow too!
Am I worried?
No.
Does it matter if we make that target?
No.
The response I have gotten from this project has been outstanding. I have learnt a lot about myself through running this project & I hope you have too.
I have had such wonderful emails/letters/posts of encouragement, luck & personal reasons of why people are getting with this project.
I've had international & domestic pieces going into these legs so I hope you find the head suitable!
Its a 42" striped beach ball - special thanks to the boyfriend for blowing it up - with cream crochet over the top so the colours show through just a touch. Was a huge undertaking in itself with a total of 5 balls of yarn used by crocheting on a 10mm hook with the wool doubled.
An yes, I did crochet plate sized eyes!
The support pack from Time To Change has arrived, my helpers are ready to go & the next blog post I will be posting (I am crazy busy this week!) will be post MakeFest but do not worry there will be A LOT of photographs.
I'll be updating my Instagram, Twitter & Facebook accounts on the day if you want to see Octo (he has a name finally!) in advance!

I want to wish everyone who has donated time & effort to this project!
Sincerely, it started out as something I needed to do for this event but it has grown into so much more...
If you posted an Octo piece & DID NOT put a return address on the envelop can you please email me a postal address at:
enquiries@girlonpurlaction.co.uk
Do not worry, I am not sending the pieces back but I do need it for personal reasons.
Speak soon!
A very happy Gemma xx
