Good morning all. I hope you had a lovely Easter weekend.

Ours ended with family tea here and Ben made my busy day all worthwhile by saying "I love it when we all get together" It just shows the simplest things with love, security and friendship mean more to youngsters than we might think.

At last I've got around to knitting a few more twiddle mitts......

A seaside one with a puffin and a lighthouse. There is a fisherman in a dinghy on the reverse.

Then I fancied making a coral reef. 

They are fun to knit and decorate.

Now I need to get a few more design ideas so that I can make a few more.

Lastly we had another lovely outing to Powis Castle. So, just a few photos to share ...

It was a beautiful day and we all enjoyed a gentle walk and the beautiful blossom, tulips and Clivia.

Have a good week all

Just a quickie this morning!

This week I have been continuing my work for Tilly Tea Dance .

She is taking her work to the Flaxmill Yarnies event next month where she will be demonstrating her art and selling felting materials and her own art.

So, I have been busy making fibre packs. They are just little packs of fibres, yarns etc that can be used for. Needle felting projects. I love putting colours together and creating little packs of gorgeousness 

My next job was to use up some of our alpaca yarn and dye it to create colours for foliage on felted pictures. It is such lovely soft yarn that takes the dye beautifully. Tilly will be felting this into her pictures and also snipping it up to use in workshops. (See her updated website here if you want to know more Tilly Tea Dance)

So, that's me for this week.

Have a great week.

 Here we are again.

Another week, another What's on Your work desk Wednesday.

This week I have been working for Tilly. This was my table yesterday..

I created over twenty fibre packs. It's time consuming but I enjoy the slow pleasure of choosing merino fluff in toning colours and putting them together ready for sale at workshops.

I've also been bagging up postcards to go with all the other stock for Tilly's sale shelf at The Bog Visitor Centre.

I love this little print from her needle felted foxglove picture.

For relaxation,  I've been knitting a few more tiny hearts. I love this random wool...

And finally .. 

This lovely peacock butterfly was basking in my garden before it turned cold and the wild, wet, windy weather descended on us!

So that's me for this week 

I hope you are all well.

Good morning all.

I hope you are able to make the best of these lovely Spring days. Look at my beautiful flowers. Tulips, roses and alstroemeria - all looking perfect, fresh and lovely.

And here is my Mother's Day card from Ben and Tilly. It's Ben's artwork with just a tiny bit of tweaking by Tilly.

He knows I love my birds.

This week I have been mostly mounting and framing beautiful little needle felted seascapes by Tilly Tea Dance.

My crafty activity has been limited to a few knitted chickens. They are cute.

So that's me for this week.

Have a good week

 Good morning all.

I hope you are all well and enjoying the Spring-like weather at the moment. We've had a few sunny days and had a lovely day at Powis Castle last week.

It's well worth a visit if you are on the Welsh border at any time.

This week I have been mostly busy with jobs for Tilly. She has worked on some beautiful needle felted pictures of The Stiperstones. These pictures always sell well at the Bog Centre which is nearby.

Any crafty activity has been limited to finishing off a few more egg covers which I am posting to Jan for her RNLI sales.

I need to get my head round some new ideas for my crafty activity. Maybe a few collage cards for birthdays etc.

So that's me for this week.

Have good week everyone one.

I hope you had a nice birthday Neet!
