WOYWW

Well this week the lovely daughter Maxine has a big birthday!
Now where did those years go?

I spent a few happy hours looking through my box of family photos and made her an album from birth to today. She was thrilled with it. I'm afraid there were no arty LOs - just photos with a little caption but I have to agree it was a lovely thing for her to keep.
Of course, being in lockdown, I couldn't trawl the shops for lovely treats so she had to make do with chocs, champagne and a few home made treats.
I thought she might like one of these to use when she is crafting in her lounge. (She already has one in her craft room)

It's a really handy little bin for collecting threads and scraps. I have made a few over the years. Jo of Jozarty designed and shared the pattern years ago and I do think of her when I'm making them.

I also made Max and family some face masks just in case we are told to wear them in the near future. I forgot to take a photo but I guess by now everyone knows what they look like! Mine are just made in fancy fabrics. I hear little sis is making one or two as well๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€

You might have seen FB videos of my lovely girl. She is trying to keep folks interested in her work by doing a "Giveaway" and some mini demos of needle felting etc. Check out Tilly Tea Dance on Facebook if you are interested.

Lastly, I thought I would share the beautiful flowers that elderly friends sent for our anniversary last week.

So, that's it for this week.
I hope you are all managing to keep safe and well.
I guess we will be on lockdown for a few more weeks yet - more time for crafting!!

Sweet Charity!

Meet little Charity!
Can you believe she is made from socks and a trimming from a charity shop item?
Well - plus a few hours of work too, of course!
Even her gorgeous, curly hair is made from recycled wool.
And yet, I think you will agree, she will make the perfect bridesmaid or party girl.

And then we have the neat little "Jozart" design for a "Hang-about"


I made this one in jazzy bright pink and black fabric with a black lining.
It has a weighted non- slip pad to balance it over the chair arm.
A great little aid for storing all those bits and bobs whilst you are crafting in front of the TV.


I shall pop them in the shop on funday Monday after we have awarded our final "Joannie" award.
