Good morning all!

Today you see my attempt at making a tag flag book like Jo made for me.

I have managed to make the concertina bit and some tags to stick my ATCs onto.

I would have made more progress but the sunshine tempted me out into my garden!

Any excuse - can you tell I am not a natural with papercraft? Give me a needle and thread any day.

Speaking of which......

 

Look at all these lovely threads that I bought for Annie at the car boot sale!

Plus, on the right, is a really pretty vintage lace hankie and a pale blue linen lace edged table runner.

I love finding beautiful, useful bargains like this.

On top of the hankie are two pretty little bracelets made from polymer clay beads - I am thinking scrapbox dollies beady arms and legs!

 

I hope you are all enjoying this fab weather - what a glorious week it's been so far.

I bet it was a bit hot for Andy on Sunday but .. didn't he do well!!

 

Ok folks.

Have a great week - see you around your WOYWW desks later on.

Happy Wednesday to all.
This was my desk with sunshine (yes! sunshine!) beaming through my wiindow, yesterday afternoon.
I just couldn't resist a photo - we have had so many gloomy days it was lovely to see the sun - if fleetingly.

On my desk are a few of my carboot bargains.

• A lovely lady gave me this fabric when I explained that I would be making frocks for the "Dress a girl around the world scheme" with it. So many kind folk out there!
• Also you can see the pretty little "broiderie anglais" mats  and lovely vintage Irish linen hankies that M bought to craft with. Not sure what she will make with them but we just couldn't resist them.
• I also got 3 circular knitting needles - always useful for little shrug knitting.

Just a few of my week's makes below.....

Two tiny waistcoats for my friend's grandsons to wear to their uncle's wedding.

A random patchwork draught excluder.

Lastly the latest little knitties for the "Fish and Chip" babies.
I posted a parcel with 16 little jumpers and matching beanie hats to Dawn yesterday - 13 sets from me and 3 from Annie. I still have plenty of wool scraps so will continue knitting for a bit longer.

Join in our WOYWWednesday blog hop by following the link to Julia's Stamping Ground - so many busy crafty folk to snoop on!!!

Thanks to all who visited me last week  - I really appreciate your thoughtful, kind comments.
