WOYWW

Last week my table was stacked with bits and bobs that I was hoping to craft with later in the week.

Well, I have had a busy time - including a fun day Monday at Annie's.

Here are some of the things I have been busy with.

Firstly the tulip collage that I made for one of my Yorkshire friend's birthday.

I think it will brighten a little space on her kitchen wall don't you?

Next, I used up some of my leather flowers and some of my fabric stash to make these little clutch bags.

I love this simple design. It has a velcro fastening and is lined with pretty fabric and has two little inside pockets.

Then I made a little handbag notebook. It is quilted and beaded with tiny pages secured with brads and a velcro fastening - cute!

And lastly here is the collage I made using last week's blank canvas.

I painted the canvas with a pinky wash and then made my little birthday cake collage to stitch onto it.

I think it would make a pretty birthday gift. What do you think?

I was going to take a pic of  my sewing room this morning but its such a mess I decided I couldn't reveal all!!!!   A little tidying up needed I think.

So that's my week. Now I shall pop over to see what Julia our blog hopping organiser has been up to.

Join us over at Julia's Stamping Ground. It's great to see what you are all up to and fun to "visit" a few new desks each week.

Thanks for popping in here and for all your kind comments.

WOYWW & Montgomery Craft Fair

Good morning all!!
Thanks for all your comments last week - I think I managed to visit about 50 of the wonderful WOYWWers during the week. I don't know where the time goes. I must try and get round a few more this week!!
Join in with the desk snooping bunch led by Julia the snoop group organiser - go to her blog and follow Mr Linky.

Just the usual view of my table today, with a few car boot bargains.

In the centre is a little journal book which I am going to cover. Its sitting on top of a new make-up bag which will make a useful little bag to hold all the bits and bobs for a craft activity when I go down to Wipso for Fun day Monday. (Although this week we had fun day Tuesday so that I could enjoy play time with baby L. and little P. They are such poppets!)

On the left is a new hot water bottle that I am about to make a cosy cover for. I am going to do two of them and will probably put them in the Montgomery Craft Fair on 27th Nov in the Town Hall. Wipso has been making some lovely Christmas items so check out Wipso's blog to see what she is up to!

In the bottom of the pic are a few of my card toppers made from a recycled sweater.

The lovely Christmas cards on the top left are by Julia Crossland. She is an illustrator who paints the most beautiful little water colour pics. She is selling her cards and gift tags from her blog.

Well, now I need to get busy sorting and labelling items for the craft fair. I hope all our local blog friends will pop over to Montgomery to see us on the 27th. It should be fun - it sounds as if there will be lots of lovely hand- crafted items on sale.

Have a great week everyone!
