WOYWW - 7th anniversary!

A Happy 7th Anniversary of our WOYWW crafty get togethers!

For the last seven years crafty folk from all over the globe have been exposing their work desks to anyone who cares to drop in and have a good snoop round. Many happy friendships have been formed and crafty ideas, stash and fun have been traded and enjoyed by us all.
Of course without the help of the lovely Julia - and Jan too, this wouldn't have happened. So, a huge thanks to Julia and all our love and best wishes to you for the next few weeks. You will be in all our thoughts, I am sure. And Jan, thanks for holding the fort and keeping us all in order. You know where we are if you need us!!

My ATCs will be winging their way to anyone who told Annie or me that you wanted to swap.
Here are a few more of them...

AND this is the state of my desk this week...

I have been busy with a birthday card for a special Yorkshire friend.
The books are some of my favourite ones which I thought I had lost in the move.
(I found them hiding under a shelf - just wondering now what else is lurking in odd spaces where they were stuffed in haste to get the sewing room looking tidy!)

So there we are, 7 years of crafty fun shared with you all - where did that time go!
You only have to look back over old blog posts to see what a happy crafty time we have shared and just how much wonderful craftiness we have brought into the world.
Long may it last.

Thanks for all your WOYWW friendship and love.

I am hoping to visit every desk in celebration this week!!

Have a fun week.

Here is my work table in all its glory today!

We have been busy getting ready for an event that Maxine is taking her "Tilly Tea Dance" delights to.
Consequently we have a piling system in place!!
It will be all neat and tidy, ready for when she arrives later this morning but at the moment it's a mess!
Of course, I don't help by dumping my Twiddle muffs on the end of the table.
So - enjoy the snoop - you might spot half mounted daisy pictures and lovely woolly wet felted background pieces draped over my machine. The rest is just a jumble of left over bits and bobs that all need to find a home to get tidied away into.

Just a query for you clever card and paper crafters - Do you know how I can get hold of some large die cut labels - approx 15cm x 8cm with a fancy scalloped top with hole punched for ribbon thread etc?
Maxine is displaying her brooches on them and we will probably need to restock.

That's it for this week.
Don't forget our ATC swap next week. I have ours all ready to post but will also put  Twiglet* on Mr Linky next week so that I can pass one to the next person who signs in after me.

Have a great week and thanks for calling by.

WOYWW 7th anniversary ATC swap.
I know we only need to make one ATC to pass on to the person with a* after their name on Mr Linky BUT...
Annie and I love to swap with anyone who wants to swap with us, so we usually make about 20 or so.
I already have a dozen or so folks who have asked to swap so don't forget to leave a comment, if you haven't already done so, telling me you want to swap with me. Annie and I will be posting ours out together and we are happy for you to return yours to either of us and we will pass them on.

OK - so what have I got to show and tell this week...
A little cardi and "new baby" card for my friend's new grandaughter...

AND you might see a picture like this on Tilly Tea Dance's blog. Here are just some of her beautiful pictures on my dining table, ready to load into the car for delivery! I have been helping her to get her work mounted and framed. I love the little ones in tiny box frames don't you?

Well that's it for this week.
Thanks for calling by.
Don't forget to let me know if you want to swap ATCs.

Good morning - happy WOYWW!

Not much action on my desk this week!

Having said I wouldn't make any more Twiddlemuffs - here is one more!

I met one of the organisers in a local wool shop (Ewe and Ply in Shrewsbury) and she said they really do need lots more so, I scraped up enough wool to make one or two this week. The latest is a cheery red one - it has a lovely big poppy on it but I seeem to have chopped it off my photo!

The other bits and bobs are from Tilly Tea Dance who has been working on her needle felting and embroidery in the craft room and preparing a few more pictures for mounting.

AND - these are the beautiful flowers from an earlier post - don't they look pretty in that little jug now that they have opened out!

Well that's it I am afraid - I have nanny duties this morning and its a glorious sunny day so I am sure much fun will be had by all!

Have a good week. Thanks for calling by and leaving kind comments.

Don't forget to tell me if you would like to swap ATCs.
