 Good morning all.

We have had yet another busy week and the time is whizzing by.

I helped Maxine set up a lovely display of her work up at The Bog Centre on the Stiperstones. If you are passing by, do call in. Lots of local artists display their work for sale and there are all sorts of interesting items of local historical and geographical information on show. The homemade cakes and drinks make it well worthwhile visiting.

I finished a twiddler for Neet's friend and then set to on another one 

I thought I would show you a naked one.  LL J prepare yourself for this ..

Then I embellished it with a garden scene and things to twiddle. I went a bit over the top but I was enjoying myself.😄

So that's it for this week.

I hope you are all well and enjoying all the lovely signs of Spring.

 Where does the time go?

I have had two busy days this week and by the time I realized that I had forgotten to get my WOYWW post ready, it was too late to start.

So, I am a bit late posting this.......

I found a pattern for a "cape-pullover".

It seemed like a good idea for a cosy extra layer for little ones so I bought some bright James Brett Party Time yarn  and knitted this little item. I think it looks good over a plain long sleeved T shirt (this is one of Ben's) and maybe jeans or leggings. I hope my goddaughter likes it. I have also made a smaller one for her little sister too.

And just to share Springtime Shrewsbury with you all...

This is the garden designed by Percy Thrower - The Dingle. It is in the Quarry Park, in the town centre, bounded by River Severn 

It really looked stunning in the sunshine on Mother's Day.

Have a good week all.

 Good morning all.

I hope you are all well and that those of you feeling under the weather, soon bounce back to full health!

Today I am showing my table, as it was yesterday morning, before action began 

Max wanted to practise her new Mcfelty workshop and produce some samples to aid her felters.

So, I set my table out with the materials and waited for my tutor.🤣🤣 I was itching to start but thought I should wait for instructions.

These are the results of our labours.....

These are the two little samples that I made.

My other little crafty activity this week involved the recycled denim.

I just cut out little hearts, filled them with beads and stitches and put a brooch pin on the back. I will probably sell them for charity. Do you think they are worth a fiver? Honest answers only!!

So that's me for this week.

Join in with our blog hop over on Julia's Stamping Ground. All are welcome to check out our crafty desks.

Today my table is covered with prepared materials for Tilly's McFelty workshop at the end of the month. 

I packed wool "fluff" into individual bags so that each felter has all the colours they need. I also made mixed skeins of Mcfelty yarns and I dyed yarns and wool curls to match. So, I think Tilly should be all sorted for the event.

In my spare time I have made a few more denim items.....

And lastly, a seaside twiddler.

So, now I have a bag of twiddlers and a box of Friendship hearts to go to the hospital.

I hope the weather is being kind to you. We have had a few bright days so far this week. I hope we stay clear of snow.

Have a great week.

 Happy St David's Day to all our Welsh friends! 

Our daffs - well the Tete a tetes -  are in full bloom to celebrate.

Welcome to a a little more denim delight.

I have enjoyed my latest sewing time and my pile of jeans is slowly dwindling.

So this week I have had fun making  a parliament of owls....

I found the idea on Pinterest and just used denim and some furnishing fabric scraps. I stuffed them with a couple of layers of wadding and stitched round leaving a raw edge. Most of them have been snapped up by the youngsters in our family. They are about 4 inches tall and seemed to have instant appeal 😀

Another Pinterest idea turned into this fun item...

I think I might keep this for myself or sell to the highest bidder. 🤣

So that's me for this week.

Have a good week all.
