Good morning all.

I'm a bit late posting today. Let's be honest ...I was out yesterday and completely forgot today was Wednesday 🤣 Where does the time go?

I thought I would show you my sunflower cards which I made using my background fabric that I created a few weeks ago. They are a bit random but I like them.

Below is an old school photo that my friend showed me this week ....

I'm on the top row, fourth from the left. Look at the hair! I'm guessing it's the mid sixties. Happy days! 

I hope you are all enjoying this lovely weather.

Keep cool and drink plenty of water ☀️☀️

Good morning all.

I've been busy with my usual tasks for Tilly this week. The fluff above is for her "Inspiration packs". I just put together toning colours with some yarns and textural bits and bobs.

On Saturday we went to a Model rail exhibition at St Mary's church Shrewsbury.  I enjoyed the models but was a bit distracted by the church textiles and some ceramic plaques 

The banners were old style needlework but fascinating to look at close up .

The ceramic plaques were made by the local college students. I loved them and think they reflected the windows and architecture of the church brilliantly.

So that's me for this week.

Have a great week everyone.

Good morning all .

At last I have put my ATC collection together for you. Thanks to Kyla, Mary Anne, Jan, Annie and Julia.

 I love them all and don't they  beautifully reflect our multi talented bunch of crafters? 

Thanks lots to you all.

This week I have been using up my background fabric for more cards. I really love making them and have come up with a few different designs.

I've made lots more - sunflowers and clematis amongst them.

 I will share them another time as I haven't taken photos yet and I might keep one or two secret as they will make lovely birthday cards for later in the year.😃

My orchids have all burst into bloom this week.

The pink one is a poor specimen with only one shrivelled leaf but it produced the one perfect bloom.

 

I have had the peachy one for about 7 years and it still produces beautiful blooms each year 

So that's me for this week 

Have a good week everyone.

 Just a quick one today.

I've a few jobs for Tilly before I drop her stock into The Bog Centre on the Stperstones.

Yet more beautiful little sheep needle felted picture.

They are so bright and cheery and just fly off the shelves.

In a spare hour or two I used up a bit more background fabric and made two more cards.

And then with one of the last small pieces, I made another WOYWW ATC 

So that's me for this week.

The rain is doing the garden good but not so good for trips to the coast!

Good morning all 

Well here we are again, moving into our 17th year of friendship and sharing. It was lovely to link up with our friends who joined us on our Zoom meeting on Saturday. Thanks to Sarah for setting it up for us. It gave Annie an excuse to pop round so that we could link up together. It's always good to spend time with my little sis!

I've had another busy week sorting artwork for Tilly. Here are some little felted sheep pictures all ready to go to a gallery in Yorkshire.

Below is a tiny orchid that Annie gave me three years ago. This week, the three little buds have popped open to reveal these stunning tiny blooms.

Now....

Remember my motherboard? Spider suggested that I scanned it so that it could used as a background paper when printed off. So here is the result.

If anyone would like me email the scan to you, then email me and you can have it. 

So that's me for this week.

Last night we had a tremendous thunderstorm. We had about half an hour of really heavy rainfall, so our gardens will be breathing a sigh of relief at getting a long drink at last. I hope some of it managed to soak into the parched ground
