This week I have been busy framing and mounting Tilly's little sheep and poppies pictures.
I guess she will try to get them on her Etsy site in time for Mothers' Day and Valentine's - although her tiny sheep pictures sell well all year!
Today she will be working on her seaside themed pieces. Garth the Gull is a firm favourite.
Here he is on a coaster and card...
And this little beauty is my Dendrobium. I have had it for at least 15 years. It does very little for most of the year and then suddenly bursts into bloom. I think there are about 20 blooms this time - so pretty.
Ben counted in tens to seventy and then looked very thoughtful and said
"You will soon be 100 then Grandad!"
(Good counting skills for a 5 year old but I don't think G was very impressed with the thought!)
Have a good week.

No, even counting in ones I don’t think I want to be considered close to a hundred!! How funny the kids are. So glad that Ghad a lovely time, it’s to be celebrated, no doubt. Aren’t Tilly’s pics so lovely, I’m not surprised the sheep remain eternally popular, I rather suspect the a gull will give them a run to be honest!
ReplyDeleteGlad the birthday cake was well received and super counting by Ben. The wee framed pictures are so lovely-you must be able to do them in your sleep! Happy crafting.
ReplyDeleteLol at Ben! Glad G had a good birthday. That plant is lovely, I've never heard of that before...mind you, as much as I can grow pretty much anything outdoors, I have the kiss of death with houseplants!!

Bless Ben. Glad he enjoyed his day. Love the framed pieces and well done on the blooms Helen #3
ReplyDeleteLoving you felted pics and the Dendrobium of course. When they choose to flower they are spectacular! Wishing you a happy crafty woyww, Angela x12x
ReplyDeleteThose little frames are very cute. In South Africa I was a keen gardener and had lots of house plants too... now in Berlin, my flat has very little sun and it is too cold for garden stuff at the moment. Everything I planted in summer has died, bar 4 things... So I have been to Ikea and gotten lots of silk plants to put outside so it doesn't look so sad! #18
ReplyDeleteHi Jo, Grandsons comment made me laugh! About as much as when my -then- 5 year old youngest asked me what dinosaurs were like when I was young! My DIL, who was with us almost wet herself laughing.The flower is beautiful, lovely colours. Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #6 X
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have seen Garth the Gull before - he is such fun. I always love the sheep - My sheep picture sits on my desk for me to enjoy every day. Your grandson's comment made me laugh. Happy WOYWW. Have a lovely week, with love and God Bless, Caro xxx (#20)
ReplyDeleteI did laugh at Ben's comment Jo. Glad that the birthday boy enjoyed his day. Beautiful pictures by Maxine, no wonder they sell well. Happy WOYWW. Sarah #2
ReplyDeleteLove the story about Ben's counting skills. Sorry G.
ReplyDeleteI love my sheep picture, something about it being a miniature makes me love it more each day. It's the first thing I see in a ;morning as it is in the bedroom. I can see a good market for the seagull pictures too, now where could I put one?
Have a lovely week and enjoy that lovely orchid of yours.
Hugs, Neet 1 xx
Your designs are so lovely - I always enjoy a sea theme and your gull picture is gorgeous! I'm glad the birthday was a success, and I love what kids come out with!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated WOYWW,
