 It's been a busy week with a few trips out and a little bit of crafty activity.

On Saturday I went on our works outing with Tilly Tea Dance.😃

We went to Builth Wells in Mid Wales to the Wonderwool Wales Show. 

Three halls full of gorgeous yarns and all sorts of woolly goodness and equipment kept us busy for about four hours. It was a perfect chance for Max to replenish her stocks for her artwork and workshops.

Just look at this lovely stuff 

We also saw where the wool comes from..

Angora goats and Jacob's Sheep.

My own crafty activity has been the making of this Springtime twiddler..

This week I must get my head around some ATCs and maybe a little gift for a raffle prize.

I hope you are all well and trying to make the best of a long,  cold April. We did have a pleasant day with sunshine yesterday so hopefully things will improve.

Enjoy the May Day Bank holiday

 Happy Wednesday everyone!

Well it's been another week of celebration.

It was Maxine's birthday on the day  Ben ran the final laps of the Shropshire schools half marathon. He came 2nd in his group of about 200 year 3/4s. 

We had brunch out and then Ben spent the weekend with us. So a fun time was had by all.

Here's the card I made for Max.....

Yesterday I spent an hour or two stitching brooch pins on the backs for some of Tilly's felt brooches. I was watching the snooker at the same time. I like to multi task🤣

And finally ...

Look what I saw on my way to pick Ben up from his school ... 

We often get steam engines chugging up the line to Shrewsbury. Its always a delight to spot one.

Ben's school have just been awarded "Outstanding" by Ofsted so everyone deserves a celebration there too.

So that's me for this week 

I hope you are all well and enjoying the sunshine.

Here we are again, sharing our workdesks and crafty activity with our WOYWW friends.

It's been a strange week. We've had highs and lows in our family and friend circle, including the sad loss of a family member and then our Golden Wedding. Thanks to all who sent us good wishes. Please help yourself to a slice of my celebration cake......

I struggled to find decorations for the top but Sainsburys had packs of golden balls, which somehow seemed appropriate!

I actually baked a small, medium and large one. Ben loves my rich fruit cake, so I sent the tiny one home with him. We shared the big one with friends and family at the weekend and I still have the other one for any late comers.😃

My crafty activity has been zilch this week.

So here is a little bug I saw on my door basking in the sunshine....

I love to see nature, as it wakes up, during Spring. I am still waiting to see my first swallow but, of course, my little sis has beaten me to it!

Have a good week all

Well, last week flew by with time spent with friends and family and, sadly, a funeral.

This week is unusual as hubby has been away for a few days so I have been free to roam! Nothing exciting but nice not to have get meals etc. 

Today I am out for brunch and then decorating my wedding anniversary cake. When I was young I thought it was old folk who celebrated their Golden but somehow now that's me! We are not having a do but have invited friends and family for cake and a celebratory drink over the weekend. Then we plan on lots of nice days and meals out with them over the next few weeks.

The only crafty activity has been a bit of dyeing for Tilly. I found a new use for my net veg bags....

They were perfect for containing the wool, fluff and curls while they dry on my washing line 

I am sure Tilly will love them and make good use of the results for her pictures and workshops 

So that's me for this week 

Have a good week. See you next week.

 After a hectic week,, last week, I am back in my sewing room getting a few jobs done.

Apologies for not posting last week. We were at a wedding. It was a lovely day if just a tad parky! 

Here is the card that I made for the bride and groom.

This week I have had Nanny duties and also admin for Tilly Tea Dance. She had finished some beautiful sunflower pictures so I framed them for her, ready to go into the shops and exhibition.

The time is flying by isn't it. 

I just hope it will warm up soon and maybe rain a little less!

Have a good week all.
