Friday smile

The ducks around here are quackers!

Have a good weekend.

Join Annie for more smiles and a giggle or two over on her "A stitch in time" blog.

WOYWW

 Welcome to my WOYWW table for this week.

As you can see, I am still busy with my ATCs but only the reverse side is on show - the ones on the right are awaiting their hand embroidery.
So, that's one side of my craft room.
Now here is a treat for you all....

 This is the opposite side - not too bad is it? Not really, considering I can't move my cupboards and drawers that they will eventually be going in until our old house is sold.

Ha ha - well now, the real truth!!!
This is the spare room .....

Where on earth am I going to put all this stuff!!
I know a good sort out and tidy up will help but there is far too much of everything.
I just know if I send it to charity or bin it then the very next day I will need it!
Oh well - it will keep me out of mischief for a day or two.
I hope you enjoy snooping through it all.

If you are joining Julia and the gang at the crop have a wonderful day.
Annie and I have posted a big parcel with ATCs for all at the crop.
Mine is like a lucky dip - just take your pick!

Some folks have said they will swap with me - Angela R and Juliab - can you email me with your details as I can't get on to Google+. twiglet517@hotmail.co.uk

Have a great week

 Good morning all!
Welcome to my crowded work table.
I thought I would take a pic to show my blind in place together with the matching table cover.
That is the last blind I need to make - just a few pairs of curtains to get sorted now.

I took a close up of the table top so that you could have a good snoop...

• binoculars so that we can see what is on the pond the other side of the building site. On Saturday Annie and I spotted a heron, coot, mallards, geese, swallows and a buzzard!
• some blue cotton yarn to make hoodies for Ben
• my hand dumfer and dumfing machine 
• some wool rovings and yarns
• on the left, the reverse side of my ATCs - I have managed to make a few!!

I will show and tell my ATCs on the WOYWW 6th anniversary at the end of the month.
Hopefully I will have made a few more by then.
If anyone wants to swap, leave a message in the comments or email me.
We always have lots of fun sending and receiving them so feel free to join in!
Thanks to the efforts of the lovely Julia, we have been blog hopping around hundreds of crafty workdesks worldwide for the last 6 years! Time flies!

Have a great week.

WOYWW - I'm back!

 Good morning all!
Yes this is little Twiglet - back into gear in her new sewing space.
We are by no means sorted yet - so many things to do - but my sewing space is at least useable.
I have been busy with blinds. The blue, seaside spot is for the sewing room blind with some matching tabling for my desk.
The blind below was chosen with little Ben in mind, it has foxes, owls and hedgehogs all over it - very cute.

It seems ages since I have posted a WOYWW post. We have had quite a hassle with BT to get our telephone and broadband. It seems to be working well now so I am keeping very quiet!!

I love being in town - as you can see - I still have a nice view from my sewing table but that might go once they have finished building the houses opposite.
I am about 5 minutes from Annie and the same, in the opposite direction, from Maxine so you can imagine how happy we all are.
Once I am properly organised we will be able to gather together for crafting days. I have a feeling I might be making a few more blinds for Annie and maybe even doing a workshop for several buddies who want to learn how to make one. All good fun!

OK - I must get back to the jobs.
Thanks for calling by - it's good to be back.
Have a great week

No broadband

Just to say....

I am a busy bee sorting and moving stuff to our new house.
We don't have broadband there yet and so I may be a bit slow at replying to comments and emails.

My little sewing machine has been getting good use in making blinds etc although it is taking a while to get my rooms tidy and organised - might be a bit longer yet!
I think I need to clear out my fabric stash - I have found loads of stuff and I really don't know where I will put it all. Luckily there is a charity shop about a mile away!

This weekend we are basking in the sunshine here on the Shropshire border - its such a glorious Spring day.

I hope it is the same for you all.
Happy Easter
