WOYWW

 Welcome to my WOYWW desk.

The clocks went back at the weekend so we have cosy evenings that begin an hour earlier (I like to be positive about the move towards winter!)

I know Ben doesn't look at my blog so I can share this with you. He made a beautiful oil pastel owl picture for my birthday card and I thought I would treat him to something to keep as a reminder of his arty talent. 

I think he will love to find this in his Christmas

stocking.

I also ordered 20 cards printed from his design. I'm guessing he will use them for thank you cards but may also see it as a money maker and sell a few back to me!!

My crafty activity included a day spent making little inspiration packs for Tilly.

Firstly I put small amounts of toning colours onto a tiny square of pre felt.

Then I add a twist of toning textured yarns and threads.

Lastly, I pack them in tiny cellophane bags with a Tilly Tea Dance label.

I made 38 altogether, so that should keep her stock going for a while.

I have a few new twiddlers to show you next week when I have finished them .

So, that's me for this week.

Sending love and hugs to Neet, hoping she is making good progress.

Welcome to our Wednesday desk share.

If you fancy joining in, pop over to Sarah's Craft Shed and link up. We are a friendly bunch of crafters.

This week I should be working an some little fabric bags but I am still plodding along with the last of the workshop packs for Tilly. 

She has two Shropshire Hills workshops .. 

Firstly a summery set

And then next, a Winter Hills colourway .

Lastly, my latest knitting activity...

I like making a few Christmassy themed twiddle muffs.. The fat little snow men are cute 

I thought I'd make a couple of little knitty soft toys to pop in with the twiddle muffs ....

This little snowman is about 6 inches tall.

So that's me for this week.

Sending big hugs to my little sis for her birthday and love and best wishes to Neet hoping she is feeling a bit better this week

I am late posting this as I have been with Max to set up her Tilly Tea Dance needle felted artwork exhibition in Craven Arms.

Here is just a little preview for you....

There is lots more on display but it is tricky to photograph due to it being on the walls of the restaurant.

Hopefully, it is the perfect time to sell her work in the build up to Christmas. It is a lovely venue with a good footfall including walking groups and coach parties so, fingers crossed it does well.

My week has been taken up with admin for the above. Maybe next week I will have some of my own crafts work to show and tell.

So, I will just send our love to Neet and wish her a speedy recovery, hoping she is soon back home and feeling better.

Have a good week

 Happy WOYWW!

This week has flown by and suddenly I'm a year older!

I had lots of lovely cards, flowers and messages. Ben made this gorgeous owl card for me. He used oil pastels.

Beside it you can see the card my little sis sent me...and below is the message inside.🤣🤣

I know she loves me🤣🤣

I have had a busy week with my Tilly duties.

I set her pictures for the exhibition out on my dining table, so that I can price and give them a name and number. It's time consuming but I love to admire her beautiful artwork so it's a delight really.

My own crafts have been limited to evening knitting.

I now have four twiddlers ready to add twiddly bits to.

This is my latest.

I'm going to knit. A themed one next.

I always start with simple designs just to get back into the swing of things 

So that's me for this week.

Have a great week

 Good morning all 

I was a bit late posting last week so I was determined to get myself organized this week.

Firstly,  I want to send our love and all good wishes to Julia and say that if there is anything we can to help, in any way, then we will do our best. It was awful to hear of their disaster and I hope they can get their heads round it and find a way to move forward with their business.

My week has been a bit busy with prep for Tilly's exhibition and workshops.

I did manage a day out with G. We went to Stafford model rail exhibition - I always go with him and love to see the models. This was my favourite this time. It was a coastal scene and the detail was incredible and the finish was superb.

Other than that,  I haven't had much time for creativity although I have started knitting twiddle muffs for the dementia patients at the hospital again....

I love the colours in this one.

So that's me for this week.

Have a great week.
