About time, I hear you say!!
So, at last, I have something of my own to share with the WOYWW crafters.
Well of course I have been chief advisor whilst Max has been busy here, but it's not the same as playing at my machine myself. So, on Monday, I made a banner for Ben's 1st birthday.
We are having a little tea party for his little buddies so I decided a banner by the front door, to let folks know where we are, would be a good idea.
The theme of course is the "Hungry Caterpillar".....
Then, I got all the bits and bobs together again to make his birthday card...
AND out of the chaos came...
Don't tell him it's here - it's not his birthday till next week!
I hope you are well and keep dry and safe with all the wild weather predicted.
The sun is beaming through my window as I type this.
Have a great week and thanks for calling by.

Well, hate to brag but it is beautiful here whilst I am writing this. I am still in sunny Spain and it might get too hot again for me so the umbrella will be handy.
Cannot see your first picture but the ones I can see are fab. Love the card for Ben.
Have a wonderful week, I will be back to cold and wet at weekend.
Hugs, Neet 7 xx
Such a clever idea and the end result is always stunning. Have a lovely week.

Sun?sun? No missus....unless its dark skies and liquid.....we really have had an awful day here!
I love the banner, what a fab idea. I love the idea that you sit down at your machine and hey presto...it's all finished!
Both the banner and card are fab. Been making my granddaughter's birthday card today - she will be eight next week - where did that time go?????? Anne x #34
Cannot believe where time has went...1 how fun, loving your banner and adorable card. I peeped about a few posts I've missed and you have lovely flowers and last weeks. WOYWW has some awesome photos. Loving the needle felting. While at the fair (a perfect fall day)I spotted your brand of sewing machine Husqverna. never heard of it before, but they had lines waiting to watch the demo. Have a lovely weekend we have storms predicted, but maybe I will have some "IN HOUSE" time.
Hi Jo just popped in to check your desk this week, no post from me - too busy elsewhere. WOW just love that you had time at your sewing machine...fantastic banner and card...they will be so very special to Ben - beautiful work Enjoy your week RobynO
Good card! That's very clever, I think.
Lovely spring weather here! (But it will turn hot, all too soon.)
Thanks for your visit earlier.
