WOYWW

Good morning to everyone who has popped into my blog to see what's on my work table today.

It hasn't seen much activity this week.
I have been plotting and planning a few crafty items but nothing much to show for it.

The dinosaur fabric is out so that I can decide what other colours I need to buy to make a quilt.
I think turquoise and orange would go well with it - what do you think?

The lighthouse picture is a little fabric collage that Maxine made.
She has sold one or two - this one is for sale if anyone wants it.
Contact me if you do and I will send you details etc)

I bought a Craftseller magazine - just for inspiration really.
Has anyone else seen it?
I am not sure I will buy another one but it did have a couple of freebies and one or two interesting items.

Short and sweet this week - I am out with my little sis today so goodness knows what mischief we will get up to!!!

Thanks for calling by and leaving lovely comments.
I will be round to visit your desk later in the week.
OK Mr Linky and the lovely Julia - here I come to join in the WOYWW fun.

Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch?

Just two pics to share....

Firstly, proof that I really did make Apple and Blackberry jam - well jelly really because I strained it so it doesn't have seeds in it.
(Although the recipe said I must NOT squeeze the bag - and I did because I was impatient and wanted to get it finished and in jars! Consequently it's cloudy and not clear, like a real jelly but what the heck - I am not entering it in a WI competition - it won't last long enough.)

I love the tiny jars and I know two little girls who will love to have their own little jar of jam to put on their morning toast.
I also know two big girls who have requested a jar, so I think I need to head off up the blackberry hill again.


And below......

One of M's mounted and framed lighthouse collages.

It's a sweet little picture worked on a piece of vintage cloth using tiny snippets of fabric and lace all free machined in place to add detail.

It is mounted on blue linen and then set in an ivory mount within a satin silver-look 8" frame.

If you click on the pics you can see the detail.

I think she would be happy to sell it if anyone is interested.

M. has lots of little pics for sale in her Etsy shop - Tilly Tea Dance so if you want to browse - click on the link and pop over.
