Friday Smile

Happy Red Nose day everyone!

I took this photo as I walked past the Shire Hall in Shrewsbury yesterday.
Nice to see that they are joining in the fun!

 
If you want more Friday smiles then follow this link to Annie's blog and join in the fun too.

WOYWW

Just a little bit more quilty fabric on my table today.
Annie found the mousey bits and bobs and now I just have to find a few more pieces to combine with them.
The pile on the right hand side will probably make a nice girly quilt.


Jo has blogged about them on her LillyBo Quilt blog.
It's wonderful to hear how they have been given to the poorly little ones at hospital in Liverpool by the CHICS group.

My latest finished quilt is below - I found the bright butterfly fabric and thought it would be perfect for a really cheery quilt and bag.
Of course I had to make a little fabric butterfly to pop in the pocket.


I hope you are all keeping cosy in this wild wintery weather.
I love the bright sunny days that go with the flurries of snow but that North wind is pretty chilly!!

Have a great week and thanks for popping in to see what I have been up to.
I will be round to visit as many desks as possible later.
Come over to Julia's Stamping Ground and join in!

Finished by Friday and smile

Just my latest little card to make you smile today!

My neighbour has become a grandma so I made this little card for the new baby.

I haven't seen him yet but he looks a cutie in his photos.

Happy Friday everyone.

WOYWW - lots to snoop!


 
Good morning all.
I snapped my table laden with goodies yesterday when the sunshine was beaming through my window. It was a very frosty foggy morning but the afternoon was just the most perfect day.
Lots for all my WOYWW friends and others to snoop today....
 
My latest LillyBo Quilt is finished and so is the little tote bag for it to go in.
One of Annie's kind customers saw what we were doing and gave us this gorgeous little beanie kitten to pop in the pocket. There are some lovely folk about aren't there.
 
In the centre you can see the latest little knitted hoodie that I have just finished for my neighbour's new grandson. I bought a snazzy pair of jeans to go with it for him. Babies don't seem to wear pastels much these days do they?
 
In the front of the picture is the satin wedding horseshoe made for one of our blog buddies.
 
So, as you see, I have had a busy week. Thank goodness that cold has gone and I have bounced back to full strength!!!
I hope you are all well and enjoying life.
I am determined to get around a few more WOYWW desks today so I am nipping over nice and early to Julia's Stamping Ground to see what she is up to first.
have a good week.

PS
This was my view one misty moisty morning this week.....

Friday Smile

Sisterly love!
These are Annie's two granddaughters wearing the little cardigans that I have just finished.
They love the cardis - and each other too by the looks of it!
How quickly little ones grow up these days.
As yet they haven't caught chicken pox - amazing really when you know that their little cousins have just gone down with a second attack of the spottiness in a matter of weeks.
Here's hoping they are all back to good health soon.

Have a great weekend.
Thanks for popping by.
