Here it is then - the dumping ground for all things crafty in my house this week.....
I covered an office chair for Maxine's neighbour in that black silk fabric.
The green "cotton wool buds" are dumfed dragon fly bodies made with wool rovings.
Scattered about are a few of my dumfed pictures which need framing.
In the bottom corner is a bag of bright pink wool ready for knitting hoodies for the girls.
The rest is just mess!!
This was where I spent yesterday afternoon picking bilberries...
Have a great week - will pop over to see what you are all up to later.

The rain has just reached here. Nasty black clouds overhead so I have retired indoors for the day.
Lovley butterflies you have managed to get on photo. we have had very few in our garden. Mostly plain white or dull brown though.
Wish my mess loooked as tidy as yours! Have fun with your wet felt.
Hugs Mrs A.
Lovely pics today - oh what beautiful butterflies!
Lots of hugs,

It is grey here and chucking it down, so your lovely photos are the perfect antidote! I've never been to the Stiperstones but it looks a wonderful peaceful place...and bilberries to boot. What are you going to do with them then??
Hugs, LLJ #71 xx
Gorgeous little mini beasts there and a very busy desk! Happy crafting.
I love that peacock butterfly and the moth's not bad either, have only seen two butterflies all year in our garden.........those roving dragonfly bodies are a gorgeous colour. Happy WOYWW, Anne x #32
The bilberrying destination looks just wonderful... and what luck with the weather! Lovely, busy creative workspace and I do, of course, love your butterflies! Happy WOYWW...

Great pictures. Hugs Rita 88 xx
Looks as if you had a better day than us yesterday. I used to pick Whinberries (bet they are the same thing)when I was a child with my dad. Mum made the most delicious pies with them. Blue tongues and teeth!
Wow - your desk area is a hive of industry - lovely pictures.
Thanks for sharing - Hugs, Neet #45 xx
Gorgeous Red Admiral...haven't seen on of those for years! All we seem to get around here are the cabbage whites!! Trish #89
Gorgeous picks. Bilberries - ummmmmmm.

What a wonderful spot to go Bilberry picking Jo, much nicer than being stuck in doors crafting, no matter how much we love it.
It’s chucking it down in the South East today as well and I think it’s turned quite cold too so it’s a pleasant sight to see the flutterbys in your garden basking in the sunshine.
Happy Crafting!

Love the photos of the butterflies - haven't seen many here this year. Your messy desk looks ok to me but I am a very messy crafter! Helen, 40.
You've got some lovely pieces on the window bottom there mrs.
Glad you like the plates, don't know what I am going to do with them yet but they are very inspirational from an artistic view.

Fabulous photos and it looks like you've really enjoyed time out in the garden and countryside. We'll allow the mess this week considering all you've done!!
Lots ofl ove JoZarty xxx
Oh my....I have no idea what a 'bilberry' is, but I'd pick them just to see the awesome scenery ...
blessings,
Cindy♥
Beautiful butterfly and the bilberries sound good. I am thinking about blackberries and putting them with some apples off the tree in our garden and making a crumble mmmmmmmm yummy. Anne x#134
busy desk Jo! Love all the pictures this week. Good job capturing the butterflies/moths. Awesome pics. Have a great week and thanks for sharing. Vickie #67
What pretty butterflies! I miss nature. I don't get to see it much anymore since I've developed an allergy to all of it. I think I can still spot actual bits of desk in your photo, so all is not lost. And it looks like a happy, creative mess and that's good too.
I love the flutterby visiters, great pics x
Thanks for the visit, Happy WOYWW

I meant to add that I would have to take up my new role as a ballon artist/pole dancer as Ziggy Boguski!!! thanks for the laugh and for popping in on me today...
Love Jo x
It's been wet here all day too, yuck!
Interesting desk, TFS and lovely photo's.
Happy WOYWW, Mikes Gal #82
What lovely pictures of the countryside and the butterflies in your garden! Where I live in upstate NY looks a bit like your area, although the local hills don't have such large boulders, for the most part. Have a happy, crafty week -- and thanks for visiting me already. :) ~ Laura #122
Love that wool roving picture!

Well, twiglet, it seems to me that even though it may be gloomy there today,
it appears you live in rainbow valley, picking rainbow berries and taking pics of rainbow butterflies!!!
Umm, sorry . . . the lack of rain here is drying up my brain, so I'm a lil' bit jealous of all that glorious greeness!
:)Happy WOYWW!

Hi Jo
How are you? Ok I hope - judging by the activity on and around your desk = you appear just fine!!!
I'm intrigued by those dragonfly bodies - I love dragonflies...
How gorgeous to see some beautiful butterflies in your garden. Mine isn't very butterfly friendly - and if it were, the mini beast would just have a field day! They're best going to nextdoors garden instead of mine.
Anyway - what are you going to be making with the bilberries... bilberry jam? I'm sure you've blogged about it previously (last year - or even year before?), unless I've dreamt it!
Have fun with your rovings and felting - wet or dry!
Big hugs
Paula x x x

Hi there Jo, ah you are losing track of time too - it is the way of life these days it seems! Thanks so much for popping over and thanks for sharing ~ happy WOYWW! Shaz in Oz. x #28
Lovely butterfly collection! The poor things have had a tough time this summer but it's surprising how many have managed to survive.
As always, some fantastic things hiding on your desk. Love the photo"s. Its almost Spring over here, so I am looking forward to days just like that.
Happy very belated WOYWW!

Wow...that last butterfly is sure bright .... looks like it should be in some tropical area.....
In the first landscape image the rocks look like a fox looking to the right. Am I the only one who sees this? Beautiful photos.
