Another almost wordless WOYWWednesday photo....


I have a lovely length of wet felted background on my desk today.
It needs cutting into pieces to make packs for poppy pictures - hence the rovings, threads and beads.

Maxine thought they might sell well on her Tilly Tea Dance workshops as folks always love the wet felted backgrounds she uses for her pictures.

So that will be a little admin job for me this week!

Have a great week all.
Enjoy the sunshine!

Good morning all!
My post is an almost wordless one today as I am on nanny duty any minute!
So....
 Just a few of Tilly Tea Dance's sheepy brooches waiting to be packaged on my table - she was here yesterday embroidering them. Link to online shop if you are interested..

AND below - a most beautiful old peachy rose with a heavenly fragrance that came via my Dad's/Annie's garden originally from my dear Godmother's garden -hence we call it Aunty Lilly's rose.

Have a great week WOYWW folk and anyone else who calls by here!

WOYWW

Good morning to all my WOYWW friends around the globe.

Now - as you know I am NOT a card maker. My love is embroidery and textiles.
So, when my friend suggested meeting up with her card making friend for a little get together and workshop I did wonder what I was letting myself in for!!

However, our evening was perfect - four friends chatting over a glass of wine and nibbles with some very well prepared card making thrown in - I can recommend it!

Now, I don't take much credit for this, as each step was demonstrated and each piece cut out ready for stamping/sticking together etc.



BUT - I must say I was thrilled to bits with the results I achieved so, I just have to show and tell to all you brilliant paper crafters out there.



I think some of your inspiration must have rubbed off don't you?


Lastly here is my latest, beautiful, arty ATC that arrived yesterday...

Thanks to Cindy for the clever little card too.

That's it for this week.

My playmate/coffeemate is away this week so I hope she is enjoying meeting up with special friends over the border!

Have a great week.

WOYWW

Some more little WOYWW beauties landed on my mat this week.....

It's lovely how different they all are and so nice when little - very appropriate- cards send lovely messages too - don't you love the little kitten with a pin cushion!! Thanks lots to Sylvia, Julia, Nikki, Christine and Robyn. I now need to find a little frame to pop them in so that I can display them in my sewing room.

AND below is a little dolly sunning herself in the late evening sun on my sewing table.
My friend's little grand daughters came to see me this week and the oldest one already has a "little Josie" doll. As she walked through my door she said "I think my sister would like one of these dollies" "Please can she have a blue one." 

So - Voila-  here she is - I think she will be "little Jo Jo".
The felting brush does tend to look like a bed of nails - I think she might have found a comfy cushion to lounge on!




So that's it for this week.
Have a great week.
