WOYWW

 Good morning to all our WOYWW blog buddies.
Just look at the pretty bits and bobs of vintage linen/embroidery heaped on my table today.
(Its covering  another heap of fabric scraps left over from the projects below)
I really do need to have a big tidy up before I start to work this morning!!
I am going to make some little lavender bags so I cut up some vintage linen and found ribbon and tape to go with them. Hopefully, I will have some finished to show you next week.

Below is a little cushion that I made to go with one of our draught excluders. I have had fun with Maxine designing them and just to prove I had actually learned from her tuition, I designed and made the cushion all by myself!!!

Then, because I needed a little card for a special new baby, I got going with my free machining and designed this one. Cute isn't he!!!



 Well, that's my show and tell for today.
I hope you are all well and enjoying your crafty activities. I will pop round the desks in the next few days - I really enjoy seeing your workspaces and all the things you are busy with.
Thanks for dropping in here and leaving your kind comments - you are such a nice bunch.

x Jo

What gorgeous bits and bobs Jo,
The draught excluder is just perfect as the North Wind finds it's way in through all the nooks and crannies but I'm thinking it's too pretty for that.
Those lavender bags will be a big hit I'm sure and that card is so cute ;D
Good Luck with the show!

I figured while I was here for Friday Smiles, I would stop in for WOYWW, too. That pillow is fantastic, and your card is beyond gorgeous. I am always impressed with your sewing skills. Happy Belated WOYWW from #7.
