Good morning on a very chilly Wednesday!

We have had gales, torrential rain, sleet, hail and snow over the last couple of days. Not a great problem at all but certainly a very wintery feel to life!

So to cheer us all up, here's my latest seaside twiddle mitt - side 1 and side 2.

I think it might have uses beyond the dementia group that it was aimed at. It would make a lovely "conversation" piece to use in schools. I might have to make a whole range to fit in with suitable topics. I'm thinking - growing things,  hot lands, cold lands, weather mmmm lots of potential there!

 My other little job was to mount and frame Tilly's latest snowdrop picture. I love this one - especially the moody sky which is wet felted.

And finally - just so you know where all this activity comes from...

I really do think I need to sort out the space between my machines don't you.
It becomes my " push back" space until it's so full that I can't use my machines.
I wish I was a tidy soul but then I wouldn't get so much done would I! (That's my excuse anyway).

I hope you have escaped the worst of the weather.

Have a good week.

This week I have been busy framing and mounting Tilly's little sheep and poppies pictures.

I guess she will try to get them on her Etsy site in time for Mothers' Day and Valentine's - although her tiny sheep pictures sell well all year!

Today she will be working on her seaside themed pieces. Garth the Gull is a firm favourite.

Here he is on a coaster and card...

And this little beauty is my Dendrobium. I have had it for at least 15 years. It does very little for most of the year and then suddenly bursts into bloom. I think there are about 20 blooms this time - so pretty.

So that's me for this week. I must apologise for not visiting many desks last week. I was busy organising and celebrating with the "birthday boy". He had a lovely time and enjoyed being with friends and family. He loved the cake with 7 candles.....
 Ben counted in tens to seventy and then looked very thoughtful and said
"You will soon be 100 then Grandad!"
 (Good counting skills for a 5 year old but I don't think G was very impressed with the thought!)

Have a good week.
