Look at the gorgeous colours of this random dyed felt that arrived in the post today.
Tilly uses it for her little sheep brooches and she will be thrilled that we have new stock.
Also, it's a little job that I can do for her - I will cut out the circles and backing pieces ready for her to add the tiny embroidered flowers and needle felted sheep.
This is me and my positive thinking - let's hope she still has a business when life returns to normal.
I have been keeping myself busy - this week I have written two little books for Ben.
"Rick the Robot" and "Ben meets a little alien" both have Lego model characters made by his Grandad.
I photographed them getting up to mischief around the garden. The text is just about at Ben's level so that he can read them himself. All good fun!

Our WOYWW buddies need us more than ever at the moment - we seem to share all the things we love, funnies to make us smile and happy moments. How grateful we are to Julia for managing to keep us up and running for nearly 11years! We will not be defeated!!
Take care all and keep safe.

Morning Jo. That felt is gorgeous - want to get my hands onto it and stroke it! How lovely - to write the stories especially for Ben. Well done. I'm sure he is enjoying them.
Take care. Stay safe. God bless.

What a brilliant idea to create books for Ben, Jo. Beautiful felt indeed, I hope that Maxine's Etsy shop is doing really well to make up for lack of income elsewhere. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #4
What fun those books look great, are you planning to submit them for publishing, a whole new career for you?
And the felt looks good, just want to feel it as well!!
Bless you

WOW to you this morning. I had no idea we had an author in our midst. What a brilliant idea - what a glorious gran you are.
The felt is gorgeous and I love my brooches I bought for me and my friend.
Thanks also to you for joining in with #Cheers - wish we could get more people involved and flood FB with craftiness.
Hugs, Neet 2 xx
Love the idea of the books, I bet Ben will lap those up! You are a clever gal. The new felt is very lovely, I know Max will turn it into something gorgeous.
Keep safe and well!

Hi Jo, how fab are those books for Ben. I really do think that developing a love of reading is one of the greatest gifts we can give children. Love the felt, fabulous colours. I'm sure Max's business will survive this, so many people want to do workshops with her, and the results of her crafting are so beautiful, make really unique gifts. Stay safe and have a good week,Hugs, Shaz #7 X
What a wonderful idea the little books are for Ben - how creative of you, I bet he loves them. The felt is gorgeous and I am sure a lot of people will still be snapping up those gorgeous creations once this is all over.
Have a good week and stay safe and well,
Hugs, Diana xx #13
Hello Jo, I visited Tilly's page. Her work is lovely. I have not seen random dyed felt before. I still have a Jacob's fleece which I bought a few years ago when I was going to do spinning, but sadly that idea went by the wayside, my shoulders just are not up to it. Do you think fleece goes "off"? Stay safe x Angela # 22
You are right Twiggers, it’ll take more than a stinky virus to defeat us! How amazing are you to be writing books for Ben, he must be so chuffed! What a great idea. The felt colours make me swoon, I think you and Tilley are quite right to be focussing forward - it’s been incredibly hard work and time rich, but I think that investment will pay off and TTD will come through. Willing her to!
What cute is your idea of little books. Oh LEGO's one of my all time favorite for kids and my shopping days were many for my sons. It was a good week, we had 2 days of SUNSHINE and walking was most enjoyable. I've a lot to catch up on today, with projects to get mailed. So time flies by here in the country. I've only been out once almost 4 wks. Enjoy each day, blessings to you and yours and Stay Safe. #28
Hi jo, that felt looks lush! It is really wonderful t have this community to fall back on isn't it? Stay well, stay safe, Happy WOYWW Cindy #20
Wow! Loving your creativity in terms of making stories for Ben. How perfect to have models designed by Grandad, photographed in places he knows with a story he can read. Wonderful and just so special. Happy WOYWW. Take care and stay well, With love & God Bless, Caro x (#17)
Jo you are a fabulous Nanny how lovely to take extra special time to create those fab stories & lego models from Mr Jo you've really warmed my heart with this today. Just like when I received my sweet little frame from Max last weekend, even more beautiful up close there will definitely be a place for Max's business when these awful times come to an end. Those badges are fab! Take care & stay safe Tracey #25 x
What a fabulous thing to do for Ben and he’ll love the books I’m sure. Stay safe and hope we shall see each other in the autumn.
Oooh, how clever is that, writing children's books! Love the little Lego character. Your felting is just gorgeous, Jo, and the new background felt is stunning. I so agree with your sentiments about WOYWW. Everybody is being so lovely and positive, sharing lots of gorgeous pictures, not just of what they are making, but of their walks in the country, and lots of funnies too. Together we will get through it.
Keep smiling, keep safe and well, and happy WOYWW,

Hi Jo, I'm sure Ben will love his books. My grandsons are lego mad, and encouraging their cousin, my granddaughter to be the same. I might keep your brilliant idea in mind, if they stay off school for an extended period. David's other passions is reading, so a book about a lego character ticks all the boxes. Have a lovely week and stay safe, Heather xx #33
Well I have to admit that as I was mulling my ozzie ochre which looks exactly like milk chocolate. I had a little break and ate chocolate....LOL

Hi Jo.. what brilliant idea for Ben!
Love the felted pieces stunning colours.. can't she sell online over there?
Online businesses are flourishing here.
Thanks for sharing, and may God bless you and all you love, and keep you well in uncertain times. In God we trust.
