WOYWW 5th anniversary

 
 
Good morning to all our WOYWW friends around the globe!
Thanks to that lovely blogger Julia, we have been linking up with crafty bloggers around the globe for 5 years. We have "met" such talented crafters during our mad Wednesday blog hop and, even if we haven't met you in real life, we really feel that we have a whole set of friends that we would never have known without WOYWW.
 
So, thanks Julia and long may WOYWW keep going.
 
Annie and I got together and posted our ATCs out to all who said they would like to swap.
I will post out to the *name below me on Mr Linky later today.
Thanks to those who have sent ATCs to me - I will post them on WOYWW next week.
It is so lovely to see what arty, crafty skills everyone uses to create the little ATC works of art.
 
I hope you like the birthday collage above and that you enjoy a very happy 5th anniversary!

WOYWW

Good morning all!

I am having a good sort out and putting a few bits and bobs on ebay in the hope of making room in some of my cupboards.

So, there is  a pretty little vintage table cloth, washed, starched and ironed ready to go and a few of my handmade brooches mounted onto a card.
Most of the brooches are made using my embellishing machine to "dumf" a variety of wools, silks and fancy bits together. I added a few hand stitches or beads to finish them off.

The pretty random wool is waiting for me to get going on another little knittie or two. (See post below)

On the left are two ATCs which have already winged their way from Australia for me - isn't that lovely. I will display them later once we have celebrated the WOYWW 5th anniversary.
My ATCs are in the wallet below, ready to take to Annie's so that we can post them out together.
Don't forget to leave me a comment if you would like to swap with me - I am sure I will have  enough - er well that is providing not ALL of the 150 or so WOYWW buddies want one. lol!!

Today is a twinnie day so I will be down at Annie's enjoying a fun time.
Thanks for calling and leaving lovely comments.
I will try to get round a few more desks tomorrow.
Have a good week.

Finished by Friday - so cute they make me smile!

I promised that I would show you my knitties!
These are the latest ones.
The little hoodie pattern always knits up nicely so I have made various sizes and boy/girl colours.
The little girly cardies are cute too I think.
 
OK - so I will nip back out to enjoy a bit of gardening in the sunshine!
Have a great weekend and join in with Annie's Friday smile over on her "A stitch in time blog"
 
Thanks for dropping by
