WOYWW

 A busy WOYWWeek!

Tilly Tea Dance has 3 workshops this week so that's a lot of packs for me to create.

And lots of little fibre packs.   
Then I answered a request for Santa!
The local hospital needed cushions for their Santa sleigh to be used at the Christmas tree light up event. It pays to have cupboards full of stash. I made these with a recycled satin sheet and stuffed them with a poly duvet.
I made them on Sunday as they need them for today! All good fun.😀
Then we went off to Attingham Park to see the Christmas trees. I think this year was better than ever. They were designed around the theme of Greek myths and legends......
A travel themed tree linked to the picture of Mercury on the wall in the entrance hall. The baubles were made from globes or just decorated with old maps.

The volcano was of course linked to Vesuvius.
The Lord of the manor had visited Pompei.
In the dining room was a clever tree made from wine bottles celebrating Bacchus.
This beautiful floral one was, of course linked to Flora.


This one was below stairs and a reminder of how well the health of the staff was looked after. It was decorated with herbs, spices of a medicinal nature, tiny medicine bottles and info to do with leaches etc.


This is one for Jan, linked to the muses of music.
So there we go.
I hope you have enjoyed the lightening trip round my week.
Have a great week all.

Wow! Good work on the last minute cushions for Santa! Your fibre packs are in beautiful colourways and your Xmas tree photos are great. It looked to be a very inspired collection!
