 Good morning all 

Having had success with my egg covers, I have started to fill another box so that they can be sold asap as Easter will soon be upon us!





I made a few more rabbits and some funky chicks and lambs. 

I used white eyelash yarn for this one....

Cute isn't it 

Apart from that, I have been finishing off the stock labelling for Tilly. She has been very busy with her artwork and even managed to order some coasters from her latest designs.


I hope you are enjoying the slightly warmer weather - we could do with some dry, sunny days now.

Have a good week.

 Good morning all 

 No photos from my desk this week.

It has mostly been covered with artwork which I have been pricing and labelling ready to restock Tilly's shelf at the Bog Visitors' Centre at The Stiperstones.

My own crafty activity has been limited to these little cuties ..



Our hospital put out a call for tiny baby cardigans so I found my patterns and yarn from my stash and set to. They are tiny so don't take too long to make.

The knitted egg covers from last week , all 50 of them, went to the charity on Saturday and were all sold within 48 hours so I might potter on with a few more this week.

Now that I have my bounce back,  I am getting out and about, making up for lost time!

Have a good week all.

Well, after another week of cough and head cold, I finally feel as if I'm on the mend.

It's been a quiet, at home, keep cosy and potter sort of week. My knitting has meant that time wasn't wasted. I now have given a total of 50 little egg covers to Annie to pass onto the HJ charity.

These are the latest.  . 

And here is the second basket full...

My haberdashery stash is like the magic cooking pot. I needed about 2 metres of bias binding to edge the basket liner so that I could thread elastic through it. There it was, just waiting for me in a drawer. A 3m metre length of bright yellow bias binding that has probably been there at least ten years! Good job I hate to throw anything away.😀

So that's me for this week.

Have a good week all

Good morning to all the desk sharers and friends who just pop by to see what I am up to.


This week I have been mostly helping Maxine with Tilly Tea Dance admin. I have edged bookmarks with satin stitch and mounted and framed pictures. It's lovely to be working on such beautiful art work.


On Saturday I took Annie my basket full of chocolate egg filled knitted chicks and rabbits. It looked very Springlike. Hopefully they will make money for the charity.

And this week I have my cough and cold back. I think I need a vitamin boost! 

I hope you have enjoyed these lovely mild days and are all feeling bright and breezy.

Have a good week all.

The weeks are flying by and here we are in the middle of February!

Thankfully, I feel I am back to normal and getting out and about a bit more. It means we have had a few lovely walks and I've started swimming again so, all good stuff. 

My main crafty activity has involved these little fellas....


I have popped a creme egg in each one and they will go for sale to raise funds for charity. 

I've just bought some rainbow wool to make a few funky chicks to go with the plain yellow ones 

This little chap takes much longer to knit but well worth the effort. Who doesn't like Peter Rabbit.😀


I made a pretty lining for the basket so they can be displayed nicely.

That's me for this week. I will try and visit a few more desks than I did last week.

Hoping you are all well.

Have a good week
