WOYWW

Last week was Ben's birthday and as usual I made him a cake. My cakes are always a bit random - linked to the topic of interest of his year and I always say, not perfect, but good enough is good enough.

So here is his Sonic cake.....

We enjoyed a birthday brunch and then, he kindly told me where he would like to enjoy a birthday tea for my birthday next week! It sounded like a good plan so I had better get booking it up.😀

This week I have mostly been making up workshop packs for Tilly's next three workshops - 40 packs plus spares.

I have also made a few more bins as they are selling well for the charity. 

And then, I knitted a few more red friendship hearts. 

My last little project was a cover for a baby's high chair. Quick and easy using the original Ikea cover as a pattern.

So that's me for this week 

I shall look forward to seeing what all my WOYWW friends have been up to. I can now log onto Julia's blog Stamping Ground again so it's much easier to get around and visit you all. 

Have a good week and get well soon Annie! x x

 Apologies for the blurred photos last week. If you were one of the first  few to visit you will hardly have been able to see any detail, so, I did a quick revamp. I had just copied and pasted the first edition from the photo file using my phone, which I had never done before. It obviously doesn't work so I went back to my PC and did it properly.

Hopefully, this week will be an improvement.

This week I have been mostly making Hang about bins  Some for the charity and some for Annie's grandchildren. I spent Saturday afternoon with the girls and they said they would like one for their rooms. Of course,

I also made one for their younger brother too.

Just a bit of fun.

Evenings are now cool enough for knitting so I made a few more Friendship hearts for the hospital. 

Then, these little, spooky characters popped up on Lovecrafts knitting site .

I thought Ben would think they were fun.

I have two more to do which I might share next week.

We are enjoying the Autumn cooler weather and have harvested almost the last of our garden veg.

I picked a couple of massive cucumbers today. Yum!

Have a great week all.

 Good morning to all .... WOYWW buddies and anyone else who likes to see what I am up to.

Firstly this week I made 2 little tissue box covers using creamy spotty fabric and lace from my stash.

Then using some of the Halloween fabric from Annie's donated stash, I made these little Halloween trick or treat bags. I think they will sell well at the charity fund raisers in the next few weeks. 

I am glad the weather has cooled down a little this week. It was nice while it lasted and we enjoyed getting out and about when it wasn't too hot. 

So it's short and sweet this week.

Have a good week.

Good morning all.

What lovely weather we have this week. Too nice to be indoors but almost too hot to be outside for too long - our crazy climate.

I have had a busy sewing week, before the weather changed.

As you see above, I made three more little hang about bins. They are all made from small remnants from the fabric donated to Annie. So any monies raised from them will go to the Harry Johnson fund.

The items below are made from the same supply.

This little automatic machine embroidered motif on calico was just crying out to be a pocket on a sewing machine dustcover so, hey presto! That's what I made.

It fits over my machine beautifully so hopefully someone else will love it too.

And of course, I am never happy just making one.

I used up another small piece for this one...

And used left over scraps for two more bins to match. 

I think they would make the perfect gift for anyone setting up their sewing room.

Yesterday I spent my time finishing and mounting 5 brooches, 10 bookmarks and 5 little sheep pictures for Tilly. It is a big help to her and means she can quickly get her work into her stockists or her online Tilly Tea Dance shop. 

She has been working on new designs which I hope she will let me share with you next week.

That's me for this week.

Enjoy the sunshine!
