I made a little linen cover for a journal - the bride, groom and twinnies in all their finery.
We had an amazing day on Saturday - no doubt Annie will blog lots of fab photos for you.
It was such a lovely family wedding with 5 little grand children on their very best behaviour - a credit to their Mums and Dads.
I was asked to read a poem in church, so made a little collage for the card to hold my poem whilst I read.
It will make a nice momento of the beautiful Oxon Church, Shrewsbury, to go in the memory book.
My table hasn't seen much action for a few days.
I have been working on a very special felted picture but won't reveal it until its new owner has seen it.
So my table just has the little ivory linen clutch bag that I made to go with my wedding out fit and some prints of a few of my felt pictures and collages. I am going to put them on cards, I think.
Lastly - remember my chiffon scarf rainbow from last week?
Well, I re-arranged the scarves into a circle with a number on each.....
AND the grand total of scarves was.....
62!
So the winner of my little poppy dumfling is...
Virginia - not sure who you are and can't find any details for you so if you email me with your details I will pop it in the post.
OK folks - have a fun week - lots of Olympic fun and games!!
Over to Julia's Stamping Ground now, to see what you have all been up to.

It's surprising how many scarves you can fit on each peg isn't it? :-)

Beautiful array of color in the scarf circle..Your little wedding creations will be a treasure too. Oh the fun of the Olympics..makes television worth watching again. Have a wonderful week.
Such lovely keepsakes you have made for the wedding. It all looks so wonderful and I look forward to seeing more pics from Annie soon. It's amazing just how many scarves there are.... well done to Virginia.
If you can't follow how to make those bibs from my pics just LMK and I'll spill the beans!
I thought about you when I made those slides, headbands and bracelets.... you should dumf some little flowers and make some with those as they are very popular and would sell well for you.
Love JoZarty x

i think a lot of us have got distracted ny the games - but they are great fun!!
wishing you a great week :)

I forgot to answer your question about the yarn for the crochet flowers.... I had trouble here getting cotton in bright colours, despite looking all over on my travels, but found it in Germany at around 2 euros a ball. I am going to Germany again on 10th Aug so let me know if you want me to get you some as I will be getting more for me whilst I'm there.

Because I can't get round to everyone's desk on a Wednesday I use a system and today it has brought me to you. Having read your blog I realise that you are related to Annie who I have been corresponding with for a time now. (I used to live in Oswestry, but moved to Spain three years ago. I still have family around the area).
I just love all your work, especially the poppies, and the items of wedding memorabilia are wonderful. Kate#100
these covers are just toooo lovely, so clever of you!
Well, whoever would have thought there were as many as 62 scarves! I was waaaay off, and thought I was being so clever! They look even more stunning laid out like this - it's a lovely photo.
You've been busy with the lovely wedding stuff, making some great keepsakes.
Thanks for your comment - I'm thinking of doing some blog posts on using our old rubbish and recreating it as something beautiful - a challenge to us all, I think. We're so quick to consign stuff to the bin when it could be re-created!
Happy WOYWW,

Gorgeous projects as always, that church is just stunning. You must have a lot of patience. I thought I was being clever by counting the pegs last week (as others did too) but I was way out. Congrats to Virginia the lucky thing!
Holy cow! 62 of those things. I tried to count the pegs but could definitely tell that some of the pegs had some than one scarf. Anyway, that was a fun and colorful challenge. Love the wedding journal!! And the chapel collage. Just lovely!
Lovely the linen cover and card collage you are so clever. It sounds as though you all had a wonderful day. Anne x #129
Fabulous work Jo! And who'd have thought 62 scarves - crumbs!!
Hugs and happy WOYWW, Di x #11

That's a lot of scarves! Congrats to Virginia.
I think there's a lot of distractions at the moment with so many WOYWWer's really into the Olympics, which is wonderful. ;D
I'm watching some amazing footage even all this way over here and mostly at silly-o-clock!
Two more Golds in 24 hours ~ yeah! The Aussies were having a go at the Brits here with being behind them on the medal table...but we'll show 'em!
I better nip off for an afternoon snoozy (oh I wish) ready for yet another late night...all worth it though ;D
Thanks for visiting my desk earlier ~ Neesie #37

Happy woyww :-) KErry xxx
my worktable hasn't seen any action since the reno began....hmmm...as a matter of fact I don't even know exactly where my table is..hahhaha...it is stacked with stuff and in behind other stuff and hidden in the garage....somewhere.... I hope I can some day find the little box of other 'stuff' I packed so that if I get some downtime..I might be able to stab a bit or something..... when will I get those down hours I wonder? ...
love the dragon fly dreaming.....
