WOYWW



Welcome to my WOYWW desk for today.

I seem to have had few nice crafty sessions in my sewing room this week

 I have made a cover for a little journal using my recycled denim and some pre-loved embroidered linens. Then I used the scraps for a few cards for friends and family.


And then. . .

What lovely folks fellow crafters are.

My neighbour gave me this fab bag of leftover yarn for my twiddlers. . . 

And a friend passed these beads on for Maxine. They will be perfect for embellishing her pictures and for workshops 

Ben helped me to decorate his Mum's birthday cake. Here she is running over the Shropshire hills. We thought the candle looks like an Olympic torch.😀

So that's it for this week.

I will be posting out my WOYWW 14th anniversary ATCs with Annie's again this year and have made 14 of them. So, if you would like to swap, let us know. I think Annie is compiling a list 😀

Love the cake for Maxine!! How lovely to get stash passed onto you because you're so generous in sharing your ideas and stuff, hope the yarns are good for the twiddlers. Thank you for one of those lovely cards, they’re so pretty, I never think of sewing onto card but it’s very effective!

I'd love to swap please if I'm not too late! I love the denim journal cover and the beautiful little cards - such a great way of using vintage table linen. That's a fabulous cake and it must have been fun decorating it with Ben - I have fond memories of decorating cupcakes with my nephews but they are now 18 and 20 and little too old for that sadly!
Hope you have a great week,
Diana xx #13

I think I've already sorted the ATC swap with Annie but can't remember whether I mentioned it to you but I'd love to swap if that's okay. You may not have had a lot of time crafting but I love what you've done, the beads look useful too. Wishing you a very happy and creative woyww, Angela x8x

What a brilliant cake - and I bet the inside tasted yummy.
Oh wow, that little journal cover is beautiful. Are the flowers embroidered on by you or is it part of the fabric? It really is so pretty and I love pale blue and white - so clean and crisp looking. Your cards are pretty in pink and I am sure the recipients will be delighted - those are keepers!
Hugs, Neet 5 xx
ps did I sign up for an ATC swap - I can't imagine a year without the fabric ones from you and little sister.

Take care

Love your cards and journal cover, such a great idea. I have several embroidered cloths upstairs that I couldn’t think what to do with. Thank you for the inspiration. Angela #16
