 Good morning all 

I'm late posting because...  

I had a busy week but didn't take any photos.

My little sis insisted I found some pics asap and got my blog done! Bossy or what? 🤣

So I told her I would take a snap of my tete a tete for her..

Then I thought you should see why I've been busy 

Tilly has 5 workshops in March so here are the sets all bagged up. There are at least 14 in each bag. 

Poppies, Bees, Shropshire Hills and 2 Flower vase sets. Have a look on her website... Tilly Tea Dance if you fancy one of her workshops. They are good fun 

And lastly...

50 pairs oh hearts all bagged up ready for the hospital.

So, a busy week but fun.

Lots of love to Neet - we are all thinking of you dear friend.

Have a good week all

Just a quick post as Annie is here and needs entertaining!

These are a few of my tiny dolls I knitted to pop in the little cottage bags. They are about 4 inches tall. I put a pair in each bag 

This big basket is going off to the Harry Johnson charity sale so I needed to get the eggs popped inside, ready to go home with Annie for the weekend.

Below are the little chickens. They are cute.

Lastly, Maxine wanted fabrics for fairy costumes for Ben's school performance. She is helping to make them so I told her not to buy fabric until she had raided my stash.

She certainly found plenty amongst that lot!

That's me for this week.

Have a good week all.

 Weird! 

I created a post and set it up as usual.

This morning it's not there - so where has it gone?

So - a quick re-write!

Good morning all!

Another wet week. I think we actually saw the sun for a few minutes on Sunday.

I've filled spare moments and watching Olympics with crafty fun...

A couple of collage cards using some poppies cut from a printed fabric and stitched to my usual background piece.

A couple of cheeky bunnies.

Another knitted cottage bag.

And lastly two little ladybird creme egg covers. 

They seem to be making themselves at home!

Have a good week.

 Good morning all. These weeks are flying by!

It's been a cold few days but.....

Spring is on its way. Just look at the carpet of snowdrops at Attingham Park. We had a very chilly walk there yesterday. The snowdrops are spectacular and well worth a visit 

When I have had a bit of spare time I've made a couple of phone stands....

And another tote bag...

Then I found a pattern for a tiny knitted bag to go with my little knitted dollies ..

All good fun and as my little sis says... It keeps me out of mischief.🤣

I do hope Neet makes a speedy recovery and is able to get back home again soon. Sending hugs from us all down this way.

Good morning all.

I hope the wind and rain of the last few days hasn't posed too many problems for you. The River Severn is quite high but our weather hasn't been too bad.

We had a chilly but interesting day visiting the Shrewsbury Flaxmill this week.

It was the first factory building in the world to be built with an iron frame. Initially it was a flaxmill for spinning raw flax to thread. Then later it became a maltings for the brewery.

It's been beautifully renovated and now houses a super exhibition centre. Various floors of the building are now rented as office space. It is run by English Heritage.

My crafty activity has been an attempt to use up some of the donated fabric.

I made some tote bags using curtain fabric...

I think it's made good use of the fabric rather than let it go to waste.

Of course, I'm also keeping going with a few little creme egg covers - also for the children's cancer charity...

They are quick to make and use up some of that huge yarn stash lurking in my cupboard.

The rest of our week will be taken up with birthday celebrations for my hubby. Where do the years go?!

Best wishes to Neet, I hope you are feeling a bit better.

Have a good week all
