Just a quick post before I take up my Nanny duties today.
We had a busy day yesterday too, finishing off an order for North Yorkshire and while Max beetled away, Ben and I made pizza!

On my table today is a little card that I made on Saturday - YES - I actually found time for a crafty session in my sewing room. It is for my friend's new grandson. It's just a little collage with some free machined lettering for the name.

So, that's it short and sweet.
Hope all is well with our WOYWW friends around the globe.
Thanks for calling by.

Well, what a lovely day we had yesterday!
Margaret (glitterandglue) and Annie(Wipso) called here. We had coffee and cakes followed by a quick trip over to Dobbies for lunch. Wow was it hot - Margaret's car said 36 degrees!

It was lovely to catch up with her and weather permitting we are going on a little drive over to Powis Castle on Saturday.
I just wish we had asked our "family photographer" to take a snap of the three of us.

My table has been loaded up with Ben's school uniform as I have been sewing in name labels.
BUT today it looks like this as I have a day out, so nothing will be happening here today.

I hope you are keeping cool but enjoying the Summer nevertheless.

Have a great week.

This is the reason that I am not at my workdesk today.....

In just over a week, I have mounted, labelled, numbered and catalogued over a hundred items.
There are pictures large and small, cards, pendants, bookmarks, coasters and prints.

Today Max will be taking it all down to Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre at Craven Arms and displaying it in their gallery.

Of course, mine is a fun day as Ben will be here to entertain me!

Have a great week everyone.

Just one for you Annie!
This is my Happy Birthday Clematis that you gave me.
Isn't it gorgeous.
Thanks lots.

The others are a delight for the bees at the moment. Hebe and lavender.

It is that time again!
I have been busy putting together little inspiration packs for Max to give out on her Tilly Tea Dance workshops. They are very popular so this time I have made 60.

I love sorting through all the lovely bags of "fluff" and yarns to coordinate these little gifts.

It does tend to take over my sewing space until I eventually get them into little cellophane bags.

AND then, I even had time for a bit of yarn dyeing this week.
These worked well and will be useful for some of Tilly's backgrounds.

She has an exhibition starting next week at Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre in Craven Arms so, we will be busy putting a collection of her pictures together this week.

So, that's my craftiness for this week - see you for another trip around the WOYWW desks next week!

Guess who has been busy on my work table.

Tilly Tea Dance will be here with Ben later to finish off these little pieces.

I love the colours in her little sheep pictures.

We are busy sorting stock for all her local outlets and today she will be working in my kitchen wet felting more background pieces.

I will take a few photos to show you next week - I love what she does with just an array of coloured fluff!

Needless to say, I haven't had much crafty time at my work desk but I enjoy helping out with the "chores". and better still, Ben will be here today so we will have a bit of outdoor fun if the weather holds.

Well that's it for this week. I hope I manage to get around a few more desks this time. Apologies for not visiting many last week - I don't know where the time goes!

Have a great week.
