Well, after another week of cough and head cold, I finally feel as if I'm on the mend.

It's been a quiet, at home, keep cosy and potter sort of week. My knitting has meant that time wasn't wasted. I now have given a total of 50 little egg covers to Annie to pass onto the HJ charity.

These are the latest.  . 

And here is the second basket full...

My haberdashery stash is like the magic cooking pot. I needed about 2 metres of bias binding to edge the basket liner so that I could thread elastic through it. There it was, just waiting for me in a drawer. A 3m metre length of bright yellow bias binding that has probably been there at least ten years! Good job I hate to throw anything away.😀

So that's me for this week.

Have a good week all

Good morning to all the desk sharers and friends who just pop by to see what I am up to.


This week I have been mostly helping Maxine with Tilly Tea Dance admin. I have edged bookmarks with satin stitch and mounted and framed pictures. It's lovely to be working on such beautiful art work.


On Saturday I took Annie my basket full of chocolate egg filled knitted chicks and rabbits. It looked very Springlike. Hopefully they will make money for the charity.

And this week I have my cough and cold back. I think I need a vitamin boost! 

I hope you have enjoyed these lovely mild days and are all feeling bright and breezy.

Have a good week all.

The weeks are flying by and here we are in the middle of February!

Thankfully, I feel I am back to normal and getting out and about a bit more. It means we have had a few lovely walks and I've started swimming again so, all good stuff. 

My main crafty activity has involved these little fellas....


I have popped a creme egg in each one and they will go for sale to raise funds for charity. 

I've just bought some rainbow wool to make a few funky chicks to go with the plain yellow ones 

This little chap takes much longer to knit but well worth the effort. Who doesn't like Peter Rabbit.😀


I made a pretty lining for the basket so they can be displayed nicely.

That's me for this week. I will try and visit a few more desks than I did last week.

Hoping you are all well.

Have a good week

 Good morning all.

If you are hoping to see a busy work desk today then I am sorry to disappoint you. I have been busy with admin for Tilly Tea Dance which included framing puffin pictures and putting together packs for her next pansy picture workshop.

If you would like to see her work you can follow the link to her website.. . .Tilly Tea Dance.

So, today I am sharing some of the lovely colours that I noticed, on a gloomy wet day in my garden, yesterday.

Firstly, my little Tete a Tete....





The blooms opening on the Camelia...

And the lovely peachy red of the Chaenomelese Japonica


And finally - not in my garden but at Attingham Park. NT.. snowdrops!.


So that's it for today.

I hope the Spring colours provide a bit of cheer for you all. It's been a very sad time for some of our group so I am sending love and all our good wishes to Elizabeth and also to Zoe who lost her son this week. It makes me think we must make the best of every day.
