WOYWW

 Happy WOYWW - our desk share day.

Well, it is a desk share if there is anything of interest on your desk!

I was away in Yorkshire for a few days last week and my desk is empty.

However, we did have a lovely few days meeting up with old friends and a bit of sight seeing at some of our favourite places.

We stayed in Pickering and just had to visit the North York Moors steam railway.

It was a glorious day and we even managed a climb round Pickering Castle getting a tan in the process!

The next day was more typical of our early Autumn weather so we took the bus over the moors.

We climbed the 199 steps up to Whitby Abbey. It was well worth the effort. The views from the top were great and I loved the museum as it had lots of interesting locally found artifacts. It always fascinates me to see all the tiny bits and bobs of personal items discovered around the area.

Before we came home, we had a misty, moisty walk around Goathland. In the middle of nowhere, along an old track, we came across a farm. Well, slightly more than a farm .  

This is what G noticed on the side of a big shed.

He insisted that he had no idea it was there!

I'm still not sure I believe him.

Needless to say he was thrilled and we spent a happy half hour whilst he browsed the extremely well stocked model shop and then walked down to an old walkers pub for a shandy.

So that's me for this week.

Today I will be sharing my work room with Max as we are having a staff meeting🤣🤣

Have a good week all

 Good morning all.

Here we are again. Don't these weeks fly by?

Join in with our desk share over on Sarah's Craft Shed. 

My sewing room has seen a tiny bit of actual sewing this week. It seems like the first time in a while.

I must admit I was a bit rusty and had to unpick a few bits and broke a needle. I was sewing recycled denim to make some little purses.

It's nice, soft fabric to cut out and work on but I must remember not to sew over metal zip ends!

I have also been spending time making workshop packs - 28 packs for Tilly's "Toadstool" workshops.

She has booked her workshops for next year so I shall have plenty to keep me busy. I love being able to help out. If you are interested in a needle felting workshop check out Tilly Tea Dance workshops here. She would love to see you.

Well that's it for this week. I'm a bit late posting today. I had a quick catch up with Annie yesterday afternoon and completely forgot to organize my WOYWW post.

Have a good week.

 Another week has flown by and I'm afraid my desk has seen very little crafty action this week.

We have been enjoying a few trips out, including a wine tasting visit to our local vineyard at Hencote.

It was an excellent tour of the vineyard and then we tasted some delicious wines. Who knew Shropshire has the perfect climate for wine making on the south facing slopes, on the northern side of Shrewsbury? 

It has a wonderful restaurant with the most amazing views across the Shropshire hills. A real treat. 

Yesterday I went with Max to take down her exhibition at Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre. There had been two long, full walls of her work in July but only a few pictures were left on one wall when we got there! She was mighty pleased with the results of her efforts.

This was one of her remaining pictures. It may end up on my wall if she doesn't want to save it for her local outlets 😃

So that's me for this week.

Have a good week all
