WOYWW

 Good morning to all the WOYWW desk hoppers and anyone else who pops in to see what I am up to.

This week I am making workshop packs for Tilly's "Shropshire Hills" workshop. It's quite therapeutic laying out the layers of merino wool and it's very satisfying to see what they manage to achieve with each pack. 

I have also just finished another little cape- pullover as a gift for my friends granddaughter. They look lovely on and I am sure they make a cosy extra layer on these cool Spring days 


Lastly, two of my friends are celebrating golden weddings soon so I have made little collaged cards for them. It's a good way to use up some of my fabric stash - well at least some of my stock of tiny fabric scraps. The flowers on top are just scraps trimmed from old, faded, embroidered linen that was just too nice to throw away.

That's it for this week.

I hope you are all well -  have a good week.

I love everything on your desk this week! That cape is just brilliant as an extra layer to throw on and not worry about for any little girl, is it a knit from the top down sort of pattern? The 50th cards ar gorgeous and have the Twiglet stamp on them for sure, so pretty, I still have the one you made for my 40th xx

How fab are those colours of the merino wool, they match up to the lovely cape you made (well the bottom half of the wool batches).
I am sure your two friends and their spouses will be delighted with the Golden Wedding Cards - what lovely keepsakes.
Have a lovely week ahead.
Hugs, Neet 5 xx

Those cards reusing the beautiful lace are so gorgeous, Jo. The colours for the Shropshire hills workshop are just heavenly and the cape is pretty.
Take care and happy WOYWW

Happy Belated WOYWW. I love the Golden Wedding Anniversary cards - such a pretty way to use up scraps. The colours of the merino wool for the workshop are glorious. I would like to do a workshop one day, when we are settled in the Forest of Dean and I am 3 hours closer to everything! Ali x #18
