WOYWW - mermaids and more!

Good morning to all - especially the WOYWW ers.

My table has an assortment of "stuff" today as I have had a busy few days of crafting and plotting and planning!!

First and foremost is the gorgeous wedding anniversary card made for me by Wipso. She was my bridesmaid all those years ago - of course- and always makes me a special card.

At the front, you can see my latest little dumflings. One is hidden, as it is for a special person who is not to well at the mo, so I will reveal that pic next time, once she has received it.

The 3 little dumflings are tiny moorland landscapes - I just fancied making something different for a change. I used yarn to dumf the background and then beads and hand stitching for the foreground.
The massive heap of fabric and brown paper pattern will eventually become a mermaids tail - well of course - what else could it be?!!!!! Just another little challenge for me. I will give it my best shot and will probably be modelling it in my next post....lol!

My box of lacey bits and bobs is still waiting to be investigated. We have sent off our little gifts to the three bloggers who sent us some great ideas for our bridal department. I hope they arrive

safely - one even had to go to the USA, so may take a little longer!!

Here are my finished, little poppy pics. The lovely Paula (more about her in a minute) suggested I mount them with a tiny black edge to set them off nicely. Of course she was absolutely right and they look really snazzy don't they?!!

And Paula.....

Well what a treasure. We had such a lovely day with her and her family at Wipso's. Poor girl has had major surgery and was still in a lot of pain and discomfort, yet her sense of humour and cheery disposition shone through. We hope to see more of her ( although to be honest, she showed us quite a bit!! - that scar - WOW!) in the future and I am sure we could find some nice crafty venues where we could meet up. Hope you are feeling much more comfortable, this week, Paula.

So, firstly I am going to cut out and sew my mermaid outfit and then I shall be nipping over to Julia's blog to see what everyone else has been doing this week.

Thanks for popping by, you friendly folk - don't forget to check out the new additions to our blog shop. I loaded up the gift shelf and Wipso tidied it up for me!!!
