WOYWW

Happy Wednesday everyone - well what's left of it!

I am late posting this week.

I had two lovely crafting days with my daughter Maxine, here at home, on Monday and Tuesday.

Followed by today helping Annie play with the twins.

So, I am sorry to say WOYWW came last in my order of priorities!

BUT here I am ready to show and tell.....

 

Here is Max, already beetling away on my machine on Monday.

We were making our gorgeous little draught excluders using offcut furnishing fabric, leather flowers and vintage buttons, with just a flourish of hand embroidery here and there.

We had such a brilliant couple of days. We always get on really well and make a great team - she is good at the designing/colour combo side of things and I am there with the technical expertise - he he that sounds grand doesn't it!!! (Older + wiser, I think don't you?)

 

And here is my out door work table today!!...

 

 

 

These are just a few of our patchwork draught excluders waiting for their stuffing.

I know it's not likely that anyone will be thinking of buying draught excluders in this sub tropical weather but in a few weeks time I am sure the need might arise for some!

 

 

OK short and sweet and better late than never.

I will be round to check out a few desks later when I have had time to chill with a long cold drink.

Have a great week in this wonderfully sunny weather.

WOYWW

Good morning all!

Better late than never.
I was out all day yesterday, had a fuzzy head and came back with a real headache but better today.
These things are sent to try us!!

So, just a quick post to show and tell.

I managed to cut out leather flowers with our Cuttlebug and think I shall be able to use them for lots of different ideas so that's brilliant.

I have a  blank canvas or two which I am going to use for fabric collages on funday Monday.
Next to them you can see what I made this week using some wool rovings and my dumfing machine (embellisher). They are little primroses which I will free machine and cut up for Easter cards.

The round box had a lovely china mug in it and now I think I might up-cycle the box to store things in. Not sure how I will do that but I have seen some lovely ones as I have toured your WOYWW desks so I am sure I could give it a go.

Now I need to get some work done!
Have a good blog hop everyone and thanks for popping in and leaving such kind and thoughtful comments here.
Join in the WOYWW craft desk snoop with all of us over at Julia's Stamping Ground.

PS - See post below for little frocks update - I think I have made 238  - Annie has made 101, so that's a grand total of 339 posted to Louise of Sew Scrumptious for the "Dress a girl around the world scheme."
