These Wednesdays seem to come round just a bit too quickly!
I hope you are all well and enjoying the sunshine and showers.
My work table looks like I have just dumped stuff on it today - that's because I have!
Just have a nose around and see what there is to snoop.
This week I have been busy helping to make dressing up outfits for a toy shop assistant in a school pretend toy shop. I also made little Lexi and Sam a similar set so that they can be shop keepers too!
I had a lovely surprise when I met up with Annie at the weekend.
She brought a little pressie back from her trip to see the girlies - Julia, Jan & Di.
The lovely Di had made us both beautiful magnetic bookmarks and a matching decorated candle.
What a great idea and so much appreciated - thanks lots Di.
Another gift came from Tina at Indigo Moon, Montgomery.
She popped over for a coffee and brought me a bag of ribbons - just look at it all!
I am sure we will find some good uses to put it to.
That's it for this week.
See you on the WOYWW round up later on - join Julia and co at her Stamping Ground.
Thanks for popping in.

Fab sewing as always and what a gorgeous candle and bookmark. Who's lucky then? Have envy with the ribbons but know you will put them to greater use than I would so only mild envy. Bought some more fabric in Abakahn yesterday when out with Chloe, one day i will get my sewing machine out and use it.
Must show my pearl necklace soon now it is repaired.

I don't think they could even comprehend having so little. As you can see I scrolled right down your blog to the next post!!!! I was having fun ;-) Happy WOYWW from Helen 71 x

McCalls, that's a name from the past, used to love their dress patterns back in the day when I sewed lots (in my teens when I couldn't afford to buy so made everything - including denim jeans).
Love the shopkeeper outfit and a beautiful gift there.
Thanks for visiting already, much appreciated.
