Just before I show you my work table today let me show you the little character waving from the creeper.He has a long flight to Oz ahead of him so he is soaking up the sun before he sets off!
He is about 4 inches tall and made from a recycled and felted Laura Ashley woollen jumper. He has hand stitched feathers and beaded claws and beak with little button eyes. Cute!!
Next - a quick look at the really lovely ATC that Sue H made specially for me. It has a beautifully embroidered flower head, worked in silver thread and beads. I love the colour and the stamping, sentiment, embellishment - well everything really - it's fab isn't it. Thanks lots Sue.And lastly lots of gorgeousness on my table today!!!
- Pretty hand embroidered napkins and tray cloth - car boot finds
- Little dumfling cards that Maxine has made - each one is a tiny dumfling with a miniature scene of hand embroidered flowers.
- Tiny seascape dumflings waiting to be mounted
- Framed pics on the window sill are now in the blog shop - click here if you are interested.
- My favourite magazines - Stitch and Quilting Arts
Thanks to all who popped in here last week and for all your positive comments - you really are a lovely bunch. Now let's get over to see what our good buddy Julia has in store for us today!

I always love your desk, so many cool things going on. Plus you've totally inspired me: I've signed up for a wet felting class. It's not for ages, but I'm very excited. Thank you.
cheers, rachel #53
Hi Jo, Sues ATC is gorgeous. What a lovely subject for an ATC. Your desk is definitely full of goodness. The seascapes are my favourite. WOYWW Hugs Helen 64
A wealth of lovely pictures today Jo. Love the goodies on your desk and the fab atc you got from Sue H. Then of course, last but certainly not least, what a delightful little fella waving from the tree. he is lovely.
Thanks for sharing - Hugs, Neet #3 xx
Sunshine, now what is that exactly........glad you are getting some! Love the owl, he is a little darling and love the cards with felt pictures, they are beautiful - you are such a clever pair. Crafty hugs, Anne x #49

sunshine?? he is cute - hope he enjoys his trip to Oz. That atc is so lovely too, as are all the things on your desk again. Have a good day, Helen #12
Remind me again what an ATC is?
Your owl is lovely - I never used to like owls but they are growing on me. There is a little variety here that is called a Chouette and there are a couple that frequent my garden. They are very noisy and squabble with each other. /the other birds aren't too keen on them either...
Hello Again. Fabulous desk this week. What lovely boot sale buys too. I hope you enjoy your day. Hugs Rita 75 xx
ah Jo that owl stuffie is simply awesome work.. and also really love the seaside dumflings too, your work is simply amazing! such brilliant work and talent; thanks for sharing Happy WOYWW Shaz in oz. x #73 PS thanks for popping over too. :D

Oh Jo, how cute is that little owl, I just love the expression on his face.
You have so much on your table this week it’s hard to know where to begin but what a lucky find in those embroidered napkins and tray cloth. You don’t see things like that often these days. I can remember stitching a little set like that myself many years ago.
Happy Crafting!
