WOYWW

 Good morning all.

Here we are again. Don't these weeks fly by?

Join in with our desk share over on Sarah's Craft Shed. 

My sewing room has seen a tiny bit of actual sewing this week. It seems like the first time in a while.


I must admit I was a bit rusty and had to unpick a few bits and broke a needle. I was sewing recycled denim to make some little purses.

It's nice, soft fabric to cut out and work on but I must remember not to sew over metal zip ends!

I have also been spending time making workshop packs - 28 packs for Tilly's "Toadstool" workshops.

She has booked her workshops for next year so I shall have plenty to keep me busy. I love being able to help out. If you are interested in a needle felting workshop check out Tilly Tea Dance workshops here. She would love to see you.

Well that's it for this week. I'm a bit late posting today. I had a quick catch up with Annie yesterday afternoon and completely forgot to organize my WOYWW post.

Have a good week.

WOYWW

 Another week has flown by and I'm afraid my desk has seen very little crafty action this week.

We have been enjoying a few trips out, including a wine tasting visit to our local vineyard at Hencote.


It was an excellent tour of the vineyard and then we tasted some delicious wines. Who knew Shropshire has the perfect climate for wine making on the south facing slopes, on the northern side of Shrewsbury? 

It has a wonderful restaurant with the most amazing views across the Shropshire hills. A real treat. 

Yesterday I went with Max to take down her exhibition at Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre. There had been two long, full walls of her work in July but only a few pictures were left on one wall when we got there! She was mighty pleased with the results of her efforts.

This was one of her remaining pictures. It may end up on my wall if she doesn't want to save it for her local outlets 😃

So that's me for this week.

Have a good week all
