Oops it's WOYWW!

How could I forget that it's Wednesday and I should be showing everyone the state of my work space today?  My excuse is that it was a Bank Holiday Monday instead of fun day Monday and my week is all higgledy piggledy. Not to worry better late than never to join in with Julia's gang in the mad blog hop!

Here it is then - the dumping ground for all things crafty in my house this week.....

Just the remnants of a few crafty activities.
I covered an office chair for Maxine's neighbour in that black silk fabric.
The green "cotton wool buds" are dumfed dragon fly bodies made with wool rovings.
Scattered about are a few of my dumfed pictures which need framing.
In the bottom corner is a bag of bright pink wool ready for knitting hoodies for the girls.
The rest is just mess!!

This was where I spent yesterday afternoon picking bilberries...

And these minibeasts were enjoying the sunshine in my garden...

And today it's pouring with rain and really gloomy so I am going to get my wet felting kit out and make some background pieces for my felting pictures.
Have a great week - will pop over to see what you are all up to later.

Shropshire hills

Just a few photos to share with you.
We went over to the Stiperstones for a walk and to pick Whinberries (billberries).
It was a lovely afternoon but the fast moving grey clouds threatened rain,
We were lucky. We climbed to the top of Black Radleigh and enjoyed a panoramic view.
I made a little video but the wind sounds like I am munching my way through a massive bag of crisps - I wasn't - honest!!

( I tried to upload but Blogger was playing up! )

I don't think I will win any Oscars!!

.

We picked quite a few whinberries and will be sharing them with Wipso and friends.

Then we headed over to "The Bog Centre" for a coffee.

Here are just a few more pics from a splendid afternoon.

A view from the top of Radleigh to the rocky outcrops on the crest of the Stiperstones.

A carving by the Shropshire carvers of famous sites within the boundaries of Shropshire.

Our farmers rear a wonderful range of livestock - alpacas at "The Bog".

We made it home in time to see this fantastic rainbow.

Wipso texted to tell me to check out Sew Scrumptious' blog. Louise has really done us proud and has blogged all 30 of the little dressses we made for the "Dress a girl around the world scheme".
We have had a fantastic response from some very kind blog friends, who have sent Wipso parcels of beautiful fabric to make more little frocks. So funday Monday will be spent cutting out and bagging up more little dresses for us to sew next week. We are blessed at having such a useful talent and it is lovely to be able to help others and have such a lot of fun at the same time!!
