 Here we are again.

Another week, another What's on Your work desk Wednesday.

This week I have been working for Tilly. This was my table yesterday..

I created over twenty fibre packs. It's time consuming but I enjoy the slow pleasure of choosing merino fluff in toning colours and putting them together ready for sale at workshops.

I've also been bagging up postcards to go with all the other stock for Tilly's sale shelf at The Bog Visitor Centre.

I love this little print from her needle felted foxglove picture.

For relaxation,  I've been knitting a few more tiny hearts. I love this random wool...

And finally .. 

This lovely peacock butterfly was basking in my garden before it turned cold and the wild, wet, windy weather descended on us!

So that's me for this week 

I hope you are all well.

Good morning all.

I hope you are able to make the best of these lovely Spring days. Look at my beautiful flowers. Tulips, roses and alstroemeria - all looking perfect, fresh and lovely.

And here is my Mother's Day card from Ben and Tilly. It's Ben's artwork with just a tiny bit of tweaking by Tilly.

He knows I love my birds.

This week I have been mostly mounting and framing beautiful little needle felted seascapes by Tilly Tea Dance.

My crafty activity has been limited to a few knitted chickens. They are cute.

So that's me for this week.

Have a good week

 Good morning all.

I hope you are all well and enjoying the Spring-like weather at the moment. We've had a few sunny days and had a lovely day at Powis Castle last week.

It's well worth a visit if you are on the Welsh border at any time.

This week I have been mostly busy with jobs for Tilly. She has worked on some beautiful needle felted pictures of The Stiperstones. These pictures always sell well at the Bog Centre which is nearby.

Any crafty activity has been limited to finishing off a few more egg covers which I am posting to Jan for her RNLI sales.

I need to get my head round some new ideas for my crafty activity. Maybe a few collage cards for birthdays etc.

So that's me for this week.

Have good week everyone one.

I hope you had a nice birthday Neet!

Good morning all.

Welcome to my sofa. My desk is full of Tilly Tea Dance artwork awaiting pricing and labelling ready for stocking up The Bog Centre, when it opens at the beginning of April.

So, I have made another little cottage bag. I love the random dyed cotton yarn that I found in my stash. It makes the perfect roof, I think.

I have also knitted a few more chicks and sheep to pop creme eggs inside.

So that's all I have to share today.

Best wishes to Neet. I hope you pop in to see what we are all up to. Love from all your WOYWW buddies 

Have a good week all

 Good morning all 

I'm late posting because...  

I had a busy week but didn't take any photos.

My little sis insisted I found some pics asap and got my blog done! Bossy or what? 🤣

So I told her I would take a snap of my tete a tete for her..

Then I thought you should see why I've been busy 

Tilly has 5 workshops in March so here are the sets all bagged up. There are at least 14 in each bag. 

Poppies, Bees, Shropshire Hills and 2 Flower vase sets. Have a look on her website... Tilly Tea Dance if you fancy one of her workshops. They are good fun 

And lastly...

50 pairs oh hearts all bagged up ready for the hospital.

So, a busy week but fun.

Lots of love to Neet - we are all thinking of you dear friend.

Have a good week all

Just a quick post as Annie is here and needs entertaining!

These are a few of my tiny dolls I knitted to pop in the little cottage bags. They are about 4 inches tall. I put a pair in each bag 

This big basket is going off to the Harry Johnson charity sale so I needed to get the eggs popped inside, ready to go home with Annie for the weekend.

Below are the little chickens. They are cute.

Lastly, Maxine wanted fabrics for fairy costumes for Ben's school performance. She is helping to make them so I told her not to buy fabric until she had raided my stash.

She certainly found plenty amongst that lot!

That's me for this week.

Have a good week all.

 Weird! 

I created a post and set it up as usual.

This morning it's not there - so where has it gone?

So - a quick re-write!

Good morning all!

Another wet week. I think we actually saw the sun for a few minutes on Sunday.

I've filled spare moments and watching Olympics with crafty fun...

A couple of collage cards using some poppies cut from a printed fabric and stitched to my usual background piece.

A couple of cheeky bunnies.

Another knitted cottage bag.

And lastly two little ladybird creme egg covers. 

They seem to be making themselves at home!

Have a good week.

 Good morning all. These weeks are flying by!

It's been a cold few days but.....

Spring is on its way. Just look at the carpet of snowdrops at Attingham Park. We had a very chilly walk there yesterday. The snowdrops are spectacular and well worth a visit 

When I have had a bit of spare time I've made a couple of phone stands....

And another tote bag...

Then I found a pattern for a tiny knitted bag to go with my little knitted dollies ..

All good fun and as my little sis says... It keeps me out of mischief.🤣

I do hope Neet makes a speedy recovery and is able to get back home again soon. Sending hugs from us all down this way.

Good morning all.

I hope the wind and rain of the last few days hasn't posed too many problems for you. The River Severn is quite high but our weather hasn't been too bad.

We had a chilly but interesting day visiting the Shrewsbury Flaxmill this week.

It was the first factory building in the world to be built with an iron frame. Initially it was a flaxmill for spinning raw flax to thread. Then later it became a maltings for the brewery.

It's been beautifully renovated and now houses a super exhibition centre. Various floors of the building are now rented as office space. It is run by English Heritage.

My crafty activity has been an attempt to use up some of the donated fabric.

I made some tote bags using curtain fabric...

I think it's made good use of the fabric rather than let it go to waste.

Of course, I'm also keeping going with a few little creme egg covers - also for the children's cancer charity...

They are quick to make and use up some of that huge yarn stash lurking in my cupboard.

The rest of our week will be taken up with birthday celebrations for my hubby. Where do the years go?!

Best wishes to Neet, I hope you are feeling a bit better.

Have a good week all

Good morning all. Thankfully we have had a snow free week but it sounds like next week might be different.

I've started knitting a few items for the charity pre Easter craft fair.

I tucked this little fellow into one of the nine Easter bunny  bags that i made with fabric Jan gave us. Cute?

Below are a few of the Tilly Tea Dance brooches that I stitched brooch pins on to.

I love the floral ones.

So that's my crafty activity for this week.

Sending a virtual WOYWW hug to Neet. I hope she pops in to see what we are up to. Get well soon Neet!

Good morning all. Another busy week has flown by and here we are again sharing our crafty activities with our WOYWW friends. Pop over to Sarah's Craft Shed and join in if you like. We are a cheerful bunch!

The grey, wet days have continued. I think we had a tiny bit of sunshine on Sunday.

So, thankfully we have had the Winter Olympics to enjoy. I like to keep busy whilst watching, of course.

Here's my crafty round up.....

Another little knitted cottage bag.

Two little knitted bunnies.

Then I fancied making a few cards. I cut out some poppies from this printed fabric and added a few leaves. They are collaged onto my usual background fabric 

Lastly, I knitted some little ladybird egg covers and popped them down on my sofa. I think they were making themselves far too comfy!

We were so pleased to hear that Neet was home again despite all her ups and downs. If you are reading this Neet - sending a big Shropshire hug to you

Thank goodness our weather has warmed up 

This was our street last week ...

I hibernated for a few days and continued with my jobs for Tilly 

She brought boxes filled with gorgeous felted bookmarks for me to edge...

Before..

 And after...

And finally a beautiful hyacinth that my dear sis gave me. It has now opened and the smell is delightful.

Short and sweet this week..

Have a good week everyone.

 Good morning all. Happy What's On Your Work desk Wednesday!

I hope the weather hasn't been too cold and snowy for you. I have hibernated for the last few days but did manage to de ice my car and get out for some shopping yesterday.

Whilst hibernating, I managed to knit a chunky cardi for my friend's granddaughter....

As usual, the amount of yarn recommended for an age 2 to 3 was just not quite enough so I teamed it with some toning yarn for the neckband etc. 

It's certainly a cosy little item 

It has been a bit of a struggle with this nasty little cooker burn on my right hand. It's healing well but catches on everything now 

My other post Christmas activity was this fab jig saw Max passed on to us. The plain colours were a headache but we both enjoyed doing it. Isn't it beautiful. It reminded me of our summer time trip to York where we saw the Van Gogh event in St Mary's Church 

So that's it for this week.

Sending our good wishes and. WOYWW virtual hug to Neet.
