Dumfing Fun On My Workdesk and Shrewsbury snapshots!

Good morning fellow WOYWWers!!!

If you would like to join in with the What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday fun and frivolity then nip over to Julia's blog and follow Mr Linky to the workdesks of some wonderful crafters and card makers.
I am not at my workdesk today - I am at Wipso's enjoying funday - Wednesday.

I have had two visitors this week so have been busy out and about (in the cold and rain!). We had a great time and it was wonderful to catch up with two very special workmates from Yorkshire.

So here are a few pics that we took whilst in Shrewsbury.
 
 
 The Library. This beautiful building, built in the 1500s was used by Shrewsbury School until the mid 19th century.
The seated gentleman is Charles Darwin.
 


 
Shrewsbury has lots of fabulous black and white, timber-framed buildings.
The Autumn leaves scattered around the cobbled streets helped create a beautiful picture.
Just to the left of this picture is the Bear Steps gallery where we saw an amazing felt making exhibition.                        

The picture below shows my two little friends having a play with my embellishing machine.
They both made gorgeous poppy pictures which they took home to mount and frame for their walls, having had an hour of dumfing fun. I think both of them will be dashing out to buy a little Clover hand punch so they can continue with their new hobby. You see... dumfing is catching!!!
