WOYWW






My workdesk is empty so I decided to post a few photos of the Dingle flower garden in The Quarry park in  Shrewsbury.
Maybe, if you manage to get to the crop, you might have time to visit here during your stay. It is beside the River Severn in the heart of the town. It looked stunning in the Spring sunshine today 
All trimmed up and bedded out beautifully as it will be competing in the Britain in Bloom competition again this year. 
Percy Thrower had a big hand in creating this oasis in the centre of the park when he was head gardener back in the day.

Short and sweet today - I am on Nanny duty as Tilly has workshops on the go.

Have a great week.

WOYWW

Welcome to my WOYWW post for this week.
I have had a request for some twiddle mitts from a local group working with the elderly.
I hope they like the ones that I sent today.
These are my two latest ones.....


Lots of bits and bobs to twiddle with and talk about.
The little creature in the garden is supposed to be a mole poking his nose out of a mole hill but Annie said it could even be a hedgehog - I like to keep my options open!!!

It's a quick post today as I am going on a trip to the theatre to see Les Miserables and will be out all day - Yahoo!!!

Have a great week.

WOYWW

Just a quick post for WOYWW today.
My work table has only seen a bit of Tilly Tea Dance admin this week, packing parcels and putting collections together ready to send of to stockists. All very necessary but not fun crafty stuff!

So, my only makes of the week are these two little knitties - Brock Badger and Jemima Puddleduck.
Theo had them when he went to Annie's yesterday and loved them. She will probably post pictures of him in action with them.



I thought I would also leave a link to Julia's post about the 2019 Crop to celebrate 10 years of WOYWW. So, if you want to join us here in Shrewsbury, the details are here CROP 10 WOYWW

If you want to know more about the event/ Shrewsbury/ or anything else about it. Just leave me a message. BUT don't forget to leave Julia a message on her WOYWW post if you are planning on joining us.

Lots have already signed up so it should be a lovely day of fun and friendship.

WOYWW

Good morning all!

My WOYWW desk looks like this....




Tilly Tea Dance has been busy putting collections together for delivery to local outlets and finishing off some of her lovely art work.

Of course, I am the gofer!
I help frame and label each piece ready for the shops.
We make a great team.

So, my crafty activity has happened away from my work desk.
When I gave Theo his set of bunnies that I showed you last week, his kindly Nanny Annie couldn't resist setting me a challenge. She rather fancied having a Mrs Tiggywinkle and Mr Todd the fox.
So this was my little effort...


I know I needed to make them look neater by using smaller needles but they will be fine as little finger bobs for Theo to make stories with. Rumour has it, they really would like a badger and maybe a squirrel - she's never satisfied, that sister of mine!!!

Have a great week.
