 Good morning all.

I hope you have had a good week and enjoyed the lovely weather.

My sewing room has only seen picture mounting and labelling this week. 

We have been out and about and enjoying a bit of culture!

On Saturday we sat in the sunshine in the park in town and listened to a local silver band. It was a lovely chill out hour or two, followed by tea in a riverside restaurant.

On Sunday we went to Birmingham and watched Les Mis in one of the big arenas. It was a brilliant day out thanks to wonderful planning and organizing by my little sis and her hubby.

We even met a Lego giraffe on our way 😀

Today I am taking my car to the garage for a replacement air bag - a product recall  - so, necessary, but a nuisance as it will take all morning, I guess. Better to be safe than sorry.

Have a good week

 It's Wednesday!
Well where did last week go? I had to think twice when I noticed Sarah's FB post as I had forgotten to organize mine. The weeks are just flying by.

I've had a busy week making up Lavender fields workshop packs.

I've also been pricing and labelling all Tilly's artwork for her Exhibition next month at the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre in Craven Arms.

Lastly, I just thought you might like another clematis photo. Last year it had twenty blooms. This year it only has about ten but some of them are about 8 inches across.

Have a great week.

 Good morning all 

Thank goodness for the cooler weather. It has been very pleasant this week with just enough rain to keep the garden fresh.  We have picked two lots of strawberries already.

As part of our 17th anniversary, Angela sent us sisters some little celebration bookmarks.

Isn't it pretty? Thanks lots Angela..🥰

I had another gift this week...

I met up with my college friends for lunch on Sunday and one of my crafty friends made this for me. He is about 6 inches tall. I called him Shoreham. We lived in a terraced house on Shoreham Street - right next to Sheffield United football ground. I think Annie wants the pattern so that she can make a few too.

My craft room hasn't seen much action although I did manage another set of workshop packs for Tilly - Lavender fields this time.

That's me for this week 

Have a good week all

 Good morning all 

Welcome to our Wednesday desk sharing.

I'm afraid I have only managed a few jobs for Tilly Tea Dance this week. It's been too hot and sticky to do much more and I have spent time keeping cool and well hydrated.

These little piles of fluff will become fibre packs for Tilly to sell at her workshops. They are always popular and I enjoy putting colours together.

Yesterday we had monsoon-like showers at the end of a really hot day 

I'm hoping it hasn't knocked the petals off my pretty rose.

I hope you have managed to stay cool and safe in this unusual May weather.

Have a good week all.

 Good morning all. 

Another week has flown by and my sewing room has seen very little activity. I have done a little bit of yarn dyeing for Tilly... 

However, I have been hindered by a miserable insect bite on my leg. It started itching and was hot and inflamed so I had to get antibiotics for it  I'm not usually troubled much by insect bites but this one is nasty!

While walking to meet Ben from school I saw this on the railway bridge. .

I'm guessing a local artist is going to paint a mural of a steam engine on the freshly painted wall. I will up date you when it's finished.

So that's me for this week 

Looking forward to a sunny Bank Holiday weekend
