WOYWW

 Oops! I don't know where time goes.

It's Wednesday morning and I am a day behind in getting my WOYWW post together.

I have been really busy getting Tilly Tea Dance artwork priced labelled etc for her exhibition at the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre in Craven Arms. She has her work there for two months, including their Frost Fair.

It's always a busy time. Here are just a couple of her little needle felted pictures..

And here is my work for later..

I need to satin stitch around the. bookmarks  and package them.

She also has several workshops, so I have been making up packs of tiny fluff rainbows.🌈

And then, this morning Max is coming round so I can help her make a Roman soldier helmet for Ben to wear, with his costume, for Roman Day this week. It is the end of their school topic on Romans so I guess it will involve a few typical activities. ?!! All good fun!

So that's me for this week.

I hope I can visit a few desks later 

Have a good week.

 We had a few lovely days visiting friends and the Yorkshire Dales and Moors last week. Luckily we had perfect weather, if a bit chilly by the end of the stay.

I took my friends a hang about bin for each of them...

They are not all crafters but all loved the little bin and had a variety of uses for them including...

as a bedside holder for inhaler etc, 

armchair holder for chocs and remote, 

and a knitter will love having it nearby for needles, yarn and snips etc. 

Of course some will even use them as a bin for rubbish and sweetie papers!

Before I went away I had to make sure I was up to date with workshop packs for Tilly Tea Dance ...

A friend dropped by with a bagful of wool for my twiddlers...

And finally just a few holiday snaps....

On the left, the little art gallery in the Old School at Muker where Max has some of her sheep themed  artwork on sale. The lovely owner said it sells really well up there in the Dales.

A couple of shady customers by the pond in the sunshine!

Have a good week all.

 Good morning all 

These weeks are flying by. I can't believe it's my birthday week again.

This week I fancied making a few cards. Don't get excited you clever folk who do amazing things with card and paper. This is how mine started...

I love a bit of random patchwork. Maxine gave me a little box with scraps of pretty fabric . I used Bondaweb to create a sheet of patchwork by fixing the pieces to a piece of cotton fabric. Then I used a machine stitch to over stitch the edges before cutting them up into small squares.

These are some of the cards I made.

My other crafty activity began when Annie asked if I fancied making some of my Christmas mice for the Harry Johnson charity sale. 

Well I had a 'mouse box" in my sewing room so I cut out and dozen little frocks and felt pieces for the heads. Here are the headless ones ...  

Tada! Here they are finished

All our family have some of these which hang on their Christmas trees each year 

Well that's me for this week 

I will be back here in two weeks. 

Have a great week
