 Good morning all.

I really enjoyed our 900th post celebration last week but only managed to comment on about half of the posts as Google seemed to be playing up. I will have another attempt as I go round desks this week 

I have been catching up on jobs for Tilly.

A lovely pastel shade of fluff for the Flower Vase workshop...

A group of coastal bookmarks all set for me to edge with machine satin stitch....

And I loved framing her coastal picture with its delicate floral embroidery...

Lastly, Annie gave me a recipe for these cheesy, courgette scones. They were soooo yummy!...

So that's me for this week.

We are hoping to see Jan next week. So fingers crossed all goes well. I will give her a big hug from you all!

Here's hoping Helen's arm is healing well after her op. Feet up and take it easy Helen!

Good morning all.

I had a search through my blog posts and came up with this little badge that I made to celebrate our 600th post.

But way back for our 300th I found this ..

I think it was a terry towelling cover up that I made for Max to use when she took baby Ben swimming. Of course I had to slip it on and model it for you all 🤣🤣

In 2022 I was making twiddle mitts...

So...

Happy 900th WOYWW blog post 

Thanks to you all for the love and friendship, giggles and yes, tears too.

Long may it last lovely folk!

And to Julia who got WOYWW started and kept us together for years and to Sarah who is keeping us all up and running.......

Queens of snoop both!

This is the crown pin cushion that I made for our WOYWWERS 1st anniversary!

 Good morning all.

I hope you are enjoying the cooler weather. We even had rain on Monday night! 

This week I have been helping Tilly by framing her tiny floral and sheepy pics. They all sell well in the local shops. We are surrounded by sheepy Shropshire Hills after all.😀

My work room hasn't seen much crafty activity but I did manage to do a set of Bluebell Woods workshop packs. I only have 6 more sets for September to put together!

We had a day out at Stokesay Castle, Craven Arms on Saturday.

This is a view from the top. Can you spot the key shaped bush in the garden? There was a little quiz for the children to find clues to it. 

It's a lovely little fortified manor house. You can just spot the gatehouse on the left. It's a shame everywhere was so scorched but it did mean we could walk around the moat. Usually it's a bit boggy.

So that's me for this week.

Have a good week.

Good morning all. I hope you have had a good few weeks 

Last week we were away on holiday with the family. We took them to Yorkshire and had fun visiting museums, hopping on and off Northern Rail and walking. 

Here's a quick trip for you.....

This was a coincidence- having left home in Shrewsbury the day before.🤣

We absolutely loved the Jim Moir exhibition in Bradford

Then we visited Saltaire

This is the Cornmill in Leeds.

Ribblehead viaduct....

A heron beside the Leeds Liverpool canal

And finally, the towering cliff of Malham Cove.

A fab time was had by all.

So, as you can imagine, my desk has remained empty. I do have lots of work to do for Tilly so I might have some to share with you next week.

 Happy WOYWW!

Just a quick post today. I've workmen coming to finish our new garden fence. Another day of tea making! They've done a smart job so far. We had to clear out the flower bed so, it looks a bit grim, especially with the dried out lawn.

This week I have been busy making a roman blind for Ben's room. It's more of a turquoise greeny colour than the photo. Of course it doesn't have legs when hung.🤣

Other than that, I have just two flower pics to share.

My lovely Happy Birthday clematis is rambling over the fence from the front to the back garden.

And hubby planted some Alstromeria. I love them and this hot red one is fab. It's a bit stunted due to the dry weather but it's strong and such a lovely splash of colour.

So that's me for this week.

Have a good week all.
