WOYWW

 Here is my tidiest bit of my work table!
Just a few bits and bobs left over from Maxine's crafty activity yesterday.
She is making a beautiful quiet book for Ben so I have him for a couple of hours "playtime" while she beetles away on my table. She will probably get round to doing a WOYWW one day!!!

Below you can see Ben enjoying the colour book I made for him last week. (See posts below)
He loves all the pages and studies each bit intently - I think his favourite of the moment was the ladybird hiding under a flap.

Hope you are all well and enjoying this gorgeous weather.
We had a little visitor this week but I am sure they will be posting pics and telling you all about it.

Have a great week.

Gorgeous pics of 'special' time being spent Jo. He's such a little poppet and they grow up so quickly so make the best of every minute.

It's wonderful reading with the littlies isn't it. I really miss that now mine is old enough to devour books by herself. Enjoy every second.

Can I just squeeze Ben's cherub cheeks? He is soooo cute!! And of course I love seeing a sewists messy table! It's the best because something is being created. Hugs! Sandy Leigh #42

Thanks for the visit to me earlier.

I've made all sorts of things with and for my girls, but never did a soft book. I'm sure Ben will cherish his sweet book with the hidden ladybird even when he's a grown man. Happy WOYWW! #45

What a gorgeous little fellow he is and I know just how you enjoy your time with him.
Thanks so much jo for your comment and glad you like my sewing bee bag. I am relieved I've got a few votes, but don't expect to win as I and most of my friends don't do social media.

The color book you created is amazing! Definitely a family artifact that needs to be handed down. I have a vague recollection of having a quiet book when I was young. It was made of material and had zippers, pockets, snaps and such. Thank you for bring back a wonderful memory. diane #43

The book is fabulous. I don't know why but I had an image in my head of Ben as still a little baby :-) they do grow so don't they :-) Can't believe my grandson was 10 yesterday! Happy woyww Anne x #22

Helen said...

What a lovely series of photos of you with Ben - and the quiet book is obviously a huge hit! Helen 3

That was Fergus' favourite page too!! Probably because of the ladybirds that roost in my craft room window recess every winter.
Next time I come up maybe I can get to see your desk!!
May I ask a favour please? Would you let me have a copy of the cappuccino cake please? Love it.
Hugs
