Good morning all.

Just a quick post today. I have been filling my spare time with admin for Tilly Tea Dance this week, but I did manage an afternoon making a few Christmas cards.

I found an idea on Pinterest and dipped into my stash to make six cards. Slow but sure. . .

I spent a while trying to upload this pic on my phone but then gave in and came to the PC to do it.

It's a steep learning curve for a bear of little brain when it comes to all this techy stuff! 


So that's me for this week.

Today I will be mostly numbering and labelling artwork!

Have a great week.

 Well folks - back to square one!

As soon as I linked my phone to my Wifi I was denied access to Julia's blog again.

So do you think if I run down the street and try it from there, I might be able to link up!!

This week I have been mostly working for Tilly by sorting out all her stock for her exhibition at Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre in Craven Arms.

It is a slow process as each piece needs pricing and numbering and then, for the larger pieces, I have to dream up an appropriate name label. Winter Morning, Stretton Hills, Foxglove Hedgerow etc... 

She has some lovely pictures in her display so, hopefully they will sell well.

This is one of my favourites...

When I have finished them, I will take a photo and share it.


My evenings have been taken up with finishing off a few more twiddlers.


I just need to add a few more bits and bobs to some of them.

I thought I would make a few elvish faces for the Christmas ones.



Well. that's it for this week.

I hope you are all well and managing to keep cosy as the temperatures drop.

It's a nasty wet day here today so I am happy to spend it crafting.

 Well folks, I have at last upgraded my phone and can now link up with Julia again. I really missed not being able to see what she has been up to!

So this week I am creating this post via my phone. Slow but sure.

This is one of my latest twiddlers. It's a Christmas theme so nice festive colours. I will add a few extra bits and bobs to twiddle later.

Now I will see if I can find Mr Linky and join the blog hop.

Have a good week.

 This week I have been very busy as I have had my little playmate here.

We enjoyed all sorts of fun activities, but I think my favourite was this one.....

I showed Ben the photos, that I shared with you last week, of the Arcimboldo sculptures. He was impressed.

So, we tore or cut out pages from old gardening magazines and spent a couple of happy hours making each other laugh with the faces we created....

Ben's creations......



My attempts.....

I'm thinking of opening a gallery!!!!


Tomorrow I am making a Halloween outfit for him. He wants to be a Demogorgon! 

Watch this space (I have no idea where to start but I am sure it will come to me eventually)

Thanks for dropping by to see what I get up to.

Have a great week.

 Well folks - no work on my work desk but a few fab photos to share.

Last week we spent a few days in Yorkshire.

The weather was lovely, so we had a day in York, a day at Harlow Carr Gardens (RHS) and a day walking The Strid at Bolton Abbey. We also squeezed in a train ride from Skipton to Carlisle over the Settle/Carlisle viaduct. The views were wonderful.

Here are a few photos of our trip.

The four seasons...




These were huge sculptures with a nod to the artist Arcimboldo.


Gorgeous Autumn colours.
AND a lovely steam special in the pouring rain at Carlisle.

I hope you are all well - thanks for commenting on my post last week.

I will pop round to visit your desks this week - providing Tilly doesn't have too much work for me to catch up on!
