Friday Smile

Yummy!

A bagful of plums!

 

I popped down to Annie’s for coffee today and this is what she gave me.

So, plum crumble and plum jam making for me this afternoon I think.

 

Thanks Annie (of course I did a little sewing job for her in return!)

Just a few little items on my work table today.

I am about to start making a few more draught excluders so I thought I would just let you see a tidy space before the mayhem begins!

Top left are the beautiful cards of MarmaladeRose's lovely felting work. If you are interested then pop over to her blog and have a look at the fantastic work she does.

 

On the top right are Maxine's little felted collages which are all ready for me to put in the upcycled chalk painted frames.

 

The three little pictures at the bottom are the little collages that I have made for my three great nephews/niece who are all 2 in the next few weeks. I haven't revealed all in case their mums are looking!

 

Below are the remnants of fabric that I bought to mix and match with our existing stash for our draught excluders. Such gorgeous stuff - I will enjoy using it.

 

 

OK folks - that's it for this week.
Hopefully I will have more time for blogging this week.
Last week was a bit hectic.
Join in with our fun blog hop by linking up at Julia's Stamping Ground.

Thanks for calling by and leaving lovely comments. Have a great week.

Flat Susan continues on her journey

 

Can you see Susan on the top of our little hill?

This is what she was reading?

It shows her what she was looking at as she gazed out over the Powys and Shropshire countryside.

 

She had a great week which finished with a trip to a model exhibition!

Twiglet really knows how to give a girl a good time!!!!

 

Here she is being followed by a couple of daleks.

 

 

AND here she decided to take a trip on Stingray

 

Lastly she decided that, after stepping back in time in Twiglet's well appointed but slighly old fashioned B & B, she would hop in the Tardis and move back to 2013, as she took her next trip.
She has already beamed down safely at Annie's!!!

Farewell Susan - behave yourself.
Annie can be very strict and she likes everything kept nice and tidy.
I am sure you will be very well entertained by those funny little munchkins.

Friday smile

Sometimes the simplest things in nature can put a smile on your face.

Just beautiful clouds in a blue sky.

 

Pop over to Annie's "A stitch in time blog" for more smiles.

 

Have a great weekend.

Good morning all - my own desk is empty today - I am having twinnie time at Annie's.

So, I thought I would share my friend's new work space with you.......

Jacquie has set up a great little crafty spot on the first floor of a local village shop.
She is going to be holding all sorts of needlework workshops including bag making, patchwork and basic sewing classes. Her buddy Caroline will be helping too.

You might remember the fab bags that Annie and I made - well Jacquie was the lovely lady who invited us to her house so that she could take a practice workshop and show us how to make the bags.
I am sure she will be very successful.

Her workspace in the shop is beautifully set up with lots of materials and haberdashery on hand for purchase. She has a cutting table and a sewing table where her machine is set up and where others can take their machines along to sew too.
On the far wall is a fab display of patchwork/quilted bags and other items - I can even spot one of my draught excluders there too!

If any of my local blog buddies want to find out more then just pop into "Connections" on the Main Road in Pontesbury (about 7 miles from Shrewsbury) on Thurs, Fri or Sat and have a chat to Jacquie.
She is a really cheery person with a great sense of humour so I am sure you would find a good welcome.

Have a happy Wednesday everyone - I will try and join in Julia's blog hop later in the week once my twinnie duties are sorted!
