Good morning all.

Welcome to my crafty space.

This week has been a busy one.

Above is the detail on one of my latest twiddlers. It's an underwater theme with a little swimmer, clown fish and coral. Annie made the feathery denim fringey thing and was going to bin it but I rescued it for my twiddlers. It looks just right wafting in the waves.😃

As usual I have been working on a few projects for Tilly Tea Dance. I had fun dyeing yarns ready to be needle felted.

Then I put together fluff for a pansy workshop - I love the colours 

And lastly here is my finished millworkers outfit 

I made a little grey pinny to go with it too. I hope it fits.


So that's it from me 

Enjoy this week's warmer weather.

 Good morning all 

This lovely sunny weather gave me the incentive to do a bit of Spring cleaning. I washed my curtains and then had to let them down and re hem as they had shrunk! They are all done and nice and fresh.

Then, I decided to re- cover the seats on my sewing room chairs. They are 1970s teak and go with the dining room table that I use as a sewing table. I really should paint the frames too but I ran out of steam. So, here are my finished chairs. There are 3 of them in my room so it was quite a challenge and lots of stapling.

My friend asked me to make an outfit for her granddaughter who is in a concert as a mill worker. I am waiting for measurements for the top and skirt but I made a start with this little shawl made from a scarf.

So that's me for this week. I have another set of bookmarks to do today so I will be busy!
Have a good week all

 Twiddlicious!

Good morning all 

Yes I have invented a new word.

I have been busy with my twiddlers.

I hadn't made any for ages until my SIL asked for one. It rekindled my love of making them.

So I delved into my 5 boxes of yarn and made a few more......



I have a few more ideas so will soon have a bagful for the dementia ward.

I hope you have been enjoying the bright sunny days. My car has been iced up each morning but the days have been lovely.

Enjoy your week. Thanks for calling by.

 Here we are again, happy as can be.

All good friends and jolly good company!

A little song that sums our WOYWW group up nicely. I don't know where it's from- do you?

So to another week of crafty activity.

I had quite a laugh with Max as she handed me another pile of bookmarks to edge. She said "No rush, but there are quite a few more to do😀"

It's a good job that I love doing them.



Once I had finished those then I was free to tackle a little request....

Do you remember this half done twiddle mitts?


My sister-in-law asked if I could make one for a friend. She loves flowers, ribbons and has a tortoise.

I added a few bits and bobs to suit.

Tada!


I hope it brings a bit of comfort to its new owner.
So that's me for this week.
Enjoy the sunshine and spring flowers.

Good morning all!

I hope you are all well and looking forward to the warmer weather supposedly on its way 

We had a lovely morning in Shrewsbury yesterday. We call it our staff meeting but really it's just an excuse for a nice lunch and a glass of Prosecco 😀 It's a lovely town for doing just that. I took Ben for half term treats - a mooch round the bookshop for some new books and a few other bits and bobs. Then lunch in our favourite Italian restaurant.

My crafty activity has been limited to a bit of knitting......


I made a few more little creme egg covers. These little chickens knit up quickly and look cute.

I added a few more little dolls to my collection ...


Today I will be tackling a new set of bookmarks for Tilly. I may be gone for some time.🤣

Have a good week all
