 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.

 Firstly, an apology for confusing you last week. I am afraid I did not make the tassels. Life is too short 😀 They cost £7 for 100 so who would bother to make them. The colours were far nicer than anything I could have used too.

So this week I have been using some of Annie's donated fabric to make a few items to sell for the Harry Johnson fund.

I made a little bag. It is the second one I have made from that fabric.

They have pockets inside and the handles are long enough to put it over your shoulder 

Then I made a couple of tissue box covers.

And a little draw string bag.

Finally my friend gave me some fabric to recover these cushions. 

The dark one is a lovely African print and the stripey one is a nice fresh Laura Ashley fabric.

I have also spent a lot of my time helping Tilly Tea Dance with mounting and framing her artwork. I think I finished nearly 100 little pictures for her.

Not a bad week's work then!

Today I am on Nanny duties so that will be fun.

Have a good week.

WOYWW -

 

Good morning all - just a bit late in joining Julia's blog hop today.

This really is my table this morning - I will need a tidy up before I can start sewing later!

Lots to snoop though - so click on the picture and have a good look round!

 

Below are the gorgeous hand dyed felts and yarns we bought from the Shrewsbury Quilters Exhibition - Maryke of Batik n Beads was a delightful lady. She had the most amazing felt hand stitched books and chatted to us for ages before I found out she lives a couple of miles away from me!! I think I shall be popping over to hers to stock up on more lovely threads and fabrics.

 

Just 3 of the fantastic quilts on display at the Exhibition.

AND - I always have a minibeast or two to share with you each week.......

Look what I met on my way to Annie's for fun day Monday!

Isn't country life wonderful.

I waited about 5 minutes for the entire herd to stroll past me

- they weren't in a hurry as you can see!

 

Have a happy Wednesday all.

x Jo
