 Good morning all.

Today I am helping Tilly Tea Dance to set up her exhibition at Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre.

I am just hoping that I have managed to get everything labelled and listed correctly.

She has a lot of lovely artwork, cards, coasters, bookmarks etc. Fingers crossed that the good folk in the area love it and want to buy it!

Here are a few of her pictures which are for sale...

Below are the latest cheery twiddlers.
Those giant buttons are perfect for the job - very tactile and bright so a good visual stimulus too.

I am hoping that I get a chance to link with Julia before I set off - if not I will try when I get home.
(I have actually managed to do it from my phone for the last 2 weeks and even leave Julia a comment which I hadn't been able to do for ages.)

Have a good week all.

 Good morning all.

I hope you are managing to stay cosy in this cold wet weather. 

Here is a nice cheery photo for you button lovers out there...

Some of them are about 4 cms wide so really tactile and chunky.
They were a gift and are just perfect for adding to my twiddle mitts to brighten them up.


This week I have been mostly knitting in the few spare moments that I have had.

I am making another 4 ply pale pink ballet cardi. It is not my favourite job but is for a best friend's granddaughter so I don't mind. I am just stitching it up so will hopefully add a picture before I post this.

On Saturday I took Ben to special show by the author Jeff Kinney who writes the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. Ben loves them. We each got a signed copy of his latest book included in the price of the ticket! It was a fun event. Ben is keen to have a go at writing his own stories and selling them!

So that's it for this week.

I am now going to see if I can link up with Julia via my phone - I may be gone for some time 😀

Good morning all.

Just a quick post today. I have been filling my spare time with admin for Tilly Tea Dance this week, but I did manage an afternoon making a few Christmas cards.

I found an idea on Pinterest and dipped into my stash to make six cards. Slow but sure. . .

I spent a while trying to upload this pic on my phone but then gave in and came to the PC to do it.

It's a steep learning curve for a bear of little brain when it comes to all this techy stuff! 


So that's me for this week.

Today I will be mostly numbering and labelling artwork!

Have a great week.

 Well folks - back to square one!

As soon as I linked my phone to my Wifi I was denied access to Julia's blog again.

So do you think if I run down the street and try it from there, I might be able to link up!!

This week I have been mostly working for Tilly by sorting out all her stock for her exhibition at Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre in Craven Arms.

It is a slow process as each piece needs pricing and numbering and then, for the larger pieces, I have to dream up an appropriate name label. Winter Morning, Stretton Hills, Foxglove Hedgerow etc... 

She has some lovely pictures in her display so, hopefully they will sell well.

This is one of my favourites...

When I have finished them, I will take a photo and share it.


My evenings have been taken up with finishing off a few more twiddlers.


I just need to add a few more bits and bobs to some of them.

I thought I would make a few elvish faces for the Christmas ones.



Well. that's it for this week.

I hope you are all well and managing to keep cosy as the temperatures drop.

It's a nasty wet day here today so I am happy to spend it crafting.

 Well folks, I have at last upgraded my phone and can now link up with Julia again. I really missed not being able to see what she has been up to!

So this week I am creating this post via my phone. Slow but sure.

This is one of my latest twiddlers. It's a Christmas theme so nice festive colours. I will add a few extra bits and bobs to twiddle later.

Now I will see if I can find Mr Linky and join the blog hop.

Have a good week.
