We had a busy half term week with lots of time spent with Ben. We loved every minute.

We  baked bread, made a Tudor pottage with his recipe from school, shopped, practiced our keep uppy skills, drew and played games. Much fun had by all.

So my crafty activity has been limited to some lovely knitting for little folk and framing for Max.

This is the next size hoodie like I made earlier in the year.

And here is a little bolero cardie.

I love the ice cream colours of this one.

So that's it for me.

I have to take my car for service and MOT so hope all goes well.

Have a good week all

 Just a quick post this week for WOYWW.

I have been busy entertaining and having fun with Ben. He is a delight and we have enjoyed having him here.

Last week I managed a bit of time embroidering a little needle felted card for my little sis.

And then, this week, I started a new cardi for my friend's granddaughter. 

The yarn is overall a bit more peachy than this section shows so, I hope it will knit up nicely.

I love a bit of random yarn but do like to try to match both sides! Mad, I know but it just annoys me if they don't look the same or similar though I am sure they are intended to be completely randomly worked. 😀

So that's me for this week.

Enjoy your week- especially now the darker evenings are upon us and you can get cosy and crafty.

Good morning to all my WOYWW friends and anyone else who likes to pop in and see what I am up to.

This week I have managed a bit of sewing in my room.

I made a new ironing board cover for Max and also a little threads bin for her workshop.

Then I got my homework up to date by edging another ten bookmarks. 

I like the cool greens best but think the warm olive greens look good too 

I've also been mounting and framing some of her best selling, tiny felted and embroidered artworks.

It's been great to spend time crafting.

I expect I shall be busy with Nanny duties next week as it is the half term holiday for our schools.

I hope you are all well and have managed to keep clear of high winds and floods.

Have a good week.

 Well, this week has flown by.

I finished a little bolero style cardi for my friends granddaughter. Here it is with my birthday cards above - I love the hand made beauties.

Below is my sewing room activity that I began yesterday.

My dear daughter filled that little box with forty little bookmarks for me to edge. She said there was no rush but I like to get going on them when I have a bit of spare time.

I love the poppy ones

 I edged some in green and some in red. Which do you prefer? I thought the green might appeal to a masculine book reader but either colour looks good, I think.

We had a great night out at the theatre last week.

We saw a Meat Loaf sound a likey-  Steve Steinman and a nine person band.

Actually, we like any live music - especially when I can share it with my little sis.

Well that's me for this week.

Keep cosy  all

 Good morning to all my WOYWW friends and anyone else who pops by to see what I am up to.

I have had a busy weekend celebrating yet another birthday. It was lovely to celebrate with friends and family and my little sis is taking me to the theatre tonight too.

My spare time has been spent helping Max with a bit of Tilly Tea Dance admin. 

I've made up loads of work packs for Poppy workshops and then edged bookmarks and mounted pictures. Her last workshop was a toadstool one and her group made some fab pictures .

Check her out on her Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Tillyteadance to see what they created.

I've also been knitting and finished a tiny hoodie for my friends new grandson.

Of course I did my usual trick and ran out of yarn just as I was finishing the hood! So I had to wait till an extra ball of yarn arrived.  The left overs will come in handy for some little friendship hearts for the hospital. Nothing goes to waste in this house.🤣

Well that's me for this week.

It was lovely to look back last week when everyone shared their first WOYWW posts. Jan's photos were wonderful weren't they.

Have a good week all.
