Happy Wednesday everyone!
Well it's been another week of celebration.
It was Maxine's birthday on the day Ben ran the final laps of the Shropshire schools half marathon. He came 2nd in his group of about 200 year 3/4s.
We had brunch out and then Ben spent the weekend with us. So a fun time was had by all.
Here's the card I made for Max.....
Yesterday I spent an hour or two stitching brooch pins on the backs for some of Tilly's felt brooches. I was watching the snooker at the same time. I like to multi task🤣
And finally ...
Look what I saw on my way to pick Ben up from his school ...
We often get steam engines chugging up the line to Shrewsbury. Its always a delight to spot one.
Ben's school have just been awarded "Outstanding" by Ofsted so everyone deserves a celebration there too.
So that's me for this week
I hope you are all well and enjoying the sunshine.

Sounds like you have a busy and productive week. Max's card is beautiful and well done to Ben. I do love a steam train, not least because they remind me of very dear friend I used to work with. Have a great week, love n hugs Cindyxx #15
ReplyDeleteWell done to Ben and to his school. A beautiful card. Love steam trains. Happy WOYWW. Angela #12
ReplyDeleteAw, a good week of celebrating then! happy returns to Maxine! We occasionally get a steam train through here too, you can tell because there's a sudden crop of step ladders and camera tripods leaning against the bridge! They remain a wonderful sight don't they.
ReplyDeleteLove the card Jo and I hope you get on well with the brooch making today.

Congratulations to Ben! And Happy birthday to Maxine, what a gorgeous card you made for her! I do a lot of multi-tasking too, I always have the TV on when I'm in my art room, it keeps one side of my brain busy so it doesn't interfere with the creative side! LOL! Have a lovely week, Lindart #17

I do love seeing a steam train, something very special about them.
