My desk hasn't seen much crafty action this week  

I have had admin for Tilly and Nanny duties to keep me busy.

I love having Ben to stay and we have enjoyed watching his drawing skills develop. This week he decided we should have a paint off. ..

Mine is on the left, Ben's on the right and his Grandad's flower painting is in the centre .

I think we know who is the most gifted!!

He loves this card.....

My little sis sent it for G's birthday when we were having problems with cats. 

Here is Ben's version...

I think his accuracy is amazing don't you?

And just a few local pics to share with you.

Shrewsbury Flower Show will soon be here. The Dingle in the Quarry park was a picture this Sunday, even in the rain.. . .

And one for LLJ...

The Chester Brass Band were playing in the bandstand - it was really lovely to sit under my umbrella and enjoy some brilliant music. 

So that's me for this week 

Have a good week all.

Have a great weekend.

Friday smile - favourite places

 

 Just a few snaps from the park in Shrewsbury.
It is the Dingle in the Quarry and owes a lot to Percy Thrower who was Head gardener there for years.

It has some lovely sculptures including this metalwork heron.

The memorial garden has a life like ironwork "War horse".

The shrubs and planting look good all year round.

I guess they will soon be getting it ready for the Shrewsbury Flower Show which has this wonderful setting in August.

Have a great weekend and enjoy a few more smiles over on Annie's Friday smile.

 Happy Wednesday everyone!

The sun is shining ( well it was 5 mins ago but looks like rain now!)

If it rains I will be sewing, if the sun shines I am going up onto the hills to pick billberries.

So, here is my table today.

The little lavender shrug was finished yesterday and is now in our blog shop gifts section.They have proved very popular so I thought I would pop one in the shop.

Beside the shrug is a lovely piece of lavender babycord fabric which I am going to use for a little pinafore dress. I took a pattern from one Wipso bought, as it was such a simple design. You can see my funny little sketch.

Below are just a few of the photos that I took at Shrewsbury Flower Show on Friday. It poured with rain all day but that didn't stop us enjoying the wonderful displays of plants and flowers in the big tents.

Righto....

Sewing it is then, as big black clouds have descended on us.


Blog update:
I never got to sew or pick billberries as Wipso and I ended up in hospital with her neighbour!! Long story but we spent the afternoon keeping her company whilst she waited for assessment.
Oh well, tomorrow is another day!!

Hopefully, I will have time to visit lots more WOYWWers today - you are such a lovely bunch - I do enjoy my Wednesday snoop! If you want to join in, then nip over to Julia's blog and check out the 130+ blogggers who share their workdesk every week.
