WOYWW

Good morning to all my blogger friends - WOYWW or others. Thank you for popping in to see what I have been up to.

Maybe you will remember that Annie put a picture on her blog last week,  of me sorting through some lovely fabric samples Margaret sent us.

We challenged each other to come up with a few different items.
I did manage a little afternoon crafting one day last week and this is what I came up with.

It's an A5 journal cover...…

I have lots more little pieces so I need to get my head round a few other items - I bet Annie has been busy and probably has made loads of lovely things - you know what she is like!!!

This is the latest bagful of twiddlers for the local hospital.

And here are some of my Chocolate orange Christmas pud covers - all ready to donate to the charity that Graham does voluntary work for. They made a useful amount of money by selling             them last year.

The tiny, beady stars are Christmas decorations made and given to me by one of my oldest buddies. We called to see her in Ruthin yesterday and she showed me lots of amazing crafty items that she had been busy with. She is a quilter so had a beautiful baby quilt and a fab tweedy quilt which looked so cosy. Pity I didn't think to take photos!!

So that's what has kept me out of mischief recently.

I hope you are all well and keeping cosy in this chilly weather.

Have a great week.

Good morning all!!
I am back!
We had a few days in Yorkshire last week so my there was very little going on in my craft room.
This week I am back in the swing of things with some pre - Christmas crafty activity - well it is October so I think I can mention the C word now don't you?!

My table is loaded with hot-washed wooly items which I am going to use to make some little Christmas hearts. You might be able to spot one tucked in amongst the woolly loveliness there somewhere. The pretty ribbons are from The Works.

AND then....

I have been knitting Christmas pudding covers for Chocolate Oranges - well what else do you do in the spare hour or two when you chill out in front of the television?
They are for a local charity to sell at their Christmas fair.
They knit up quickly but the leaves and berries are a bit fiddly - I managed to make ten to send so far.

Well that's it for this week.
Ben and Maxine will be round later so I will have a busy day - yipee!

Just to say too.. hello to Neet - I met her for the first time at Annie's last week and she is a lovely lady!
I hope you are feeling better Neet, and that fresh sea air did you good!

Have a great week - join us in the Stamping Ground blog hop with the lovely Julia - see you at your WOYWW desk later.
