WOYWW

 Well this year is off to a fast start! How did we get to the end of January so quickly? Hubby celebrated his birthday this week and Ben drew him a brilliant portrait picture. He says he is going to be an artist - I think he is one already!......



My trusty machine has been in action this week and I made two little covers for Tilly's baskets. 

She takes them to her workshops- with her inspiration packs etc., for sale. I bring them back to re stock for her. So, to stop bits falling out in the boot, as I carry them home, I decided they needed little elasticated covers ...


Job done!

And here is a little rainbow for you...

Have a great week all.

I will look forward to a trip round the desks when I get back from lunch out with our friends.😀

I think those elasticated covers are a simple solution which works brilliantly - it doesn’t have to be complicated does it? My life revolves around keeping things as simple and straightforward as possible these days, I don’t do complex or drama anymore! Love the portrait by Ben, I think he caught your hubby perfectly!

An artist in ther making for sure! I'm sure the covers used to be popular for covering baskets years ago and they bare a great idea. Good to see you bringing the idea back again. Happy woyww creating, Angela x?x

I love the portrait by Ben - he must get his artistic gene from his Mum and Grandma! I love the rainbow twiddler too, so lovely and bright to liven up a dull day.
Hope you had a nice lunch with your friends,

Hello Jo. Those basket covers are fab and a clever idea.
The portrait is very, very good. Take care Anne x 21

Genius idea for the baskets Jo, honestly, you really do have some fab ideas, neatly arranged and organised basket fulls that go walkabout in the car are a familiar thing to me and they sort of make me say rude words…never look so good on hasty rearranging! As for the portrait of Mr Twiglet…love it, I hope he does too. Well done Ben!

Those basket cover look great,Jo. Very professional looking.
What a lovely young artist Ben is and how thoughtful to draw a portrait of someone he cares so much about.
