It's a bit overcast and gloomy here but still quite warm.
It rained overnight so it's a bit too damp for outdoor play this morning - maybe that means I can potter quietly and craftily indoors!! I fancy doing a little bit of wet felting using some new natural pre-felt. (I might update this later if I manage to finish any)
My table has lots to snoop around for you today. Just bits and bobs that keep appearing as I tidy drawers and cupboards. AND my latest unfinished twiddlemuff - yes I know I said I would give it a rest but Karen at the hospital was so pleased with my donation of footie twiddlemuffs, and the rest, that I thought I might make a few more when a find time.
Here is the link to the media release about the footie ones..

And lastly - just look at this little beauty...
It is the Tom Thumb fuschia that LLJ brought for me last year.
It is packed with tiny blooms and looks a real picture! Thanks Jan - a perfect specimen - and so is the fuschia!
Well thats it for today - it's now pouring down so I shall finish baking my bread buns and get felting!
Have a good week. Thanks for visiting and for your lovely comments.
Join us all blog hopping around the globe over with at Julia's Stamping Ground - so good to see you back there Julia!!

Glad you have time to craft. The fuchsia is stunning. Well done re the twiddlemuffs. Anne x #16
ReplyDeleteIt rained overnight here too but the sun is out now so I'm hoping for some time outside later, fingers crossed. We haven't had much rain here at all lately, the garden is so dry. Your Fuchsia is beautiful. I love to have things in the garden that remind me of people and places.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week.

Super pics, love the fuschia. I have fuschia buses that belonged to my nan. When she died we had to clear her bunglalow and it seemed wrong to leave her plants so my mum dug them up and replanted them in my garden. They've all taken and bloom each year which is a lovely reminder to me of my nan. Take care Zo xx 27
ReplyDeleteHi Jo, I do love that fuchsia. I have a few in my garden, they are one of my favourites in the garden. So many varieties, all with stunning colours. Look forward to seeing the felting pics. Have a great week, Hugs Shaz #24 xxx
ReplyDeleteJo, you go on with it! I love seeing what's on your desk and about your twiddlemuffs! Your felting is fabulous as well! I have a new found love for felting as Max really got me excited about it all with her amazing creativity! That fuschia is GORGEOUS! I wish I had that in my yard, and....that it looked that good! Just beautiful! Have a blessed Wednesday and rest of the week! Felicia #37
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness...I adore fuscias! I am not familiar with Tom Thumb though. My mother always had a fuscia hanging basket every year in a shady corner somewhere, and now I always have one too. Thanks for visiting! Sandy Leigh #32
ReplyDeleteHi Jo, My dad had loads of fuschias. They always remind me of ballerinas in their tutus:)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog. You didn't leave your number (17), but I managed to track you down:)
Happy WOYWW

ReplyDeleteI love the little fuschia embroideries - they are beautiful and look so good on the darker background. I also love the colours of the new twiddlemuff - and what a lovely article, you have done a fab job and it's great you are getting the credit you deserve.
ReplyDeleteHope you have lovely week,

The fuschia is really beautiful and I like the twiddlemuff. Haven't had rain here in days. Please send some!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous bush, my latest one has not seemed to take as the other one did.
ReplyDeleteI would think just a sniff of this summer weather would be enough for wet felting Jo. I am a bit fed up of the rain now.
Hugs & Thanks for the earlier visit - Neet 5 xx
