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.

 Another week, another Wednesday.

I seem to have been busy over the last week and thankfully have my bounce back so have been out and about a bit more. 

My crafty activity has involved knitting another Twiddler.  

I just need to add a few bits and bobs to twiddle 

Then I finished off two tiny cardigans....

Baked this yummy veggy puff for family tea on Monday 

Now I need to use these pretty fabrics to make a wedding card.

Happy days!

Have a good week all.

 Good morning all 

Having had success with my egg covers, I have started to fill another box so that they can be sold asap as Easter will soon be upon us!





I made a few more rabbits and some funky chicks and lambs. 

I used white eyelash yarn for this one....

Cute isn't it 

Apart from that, I have been finishing off the stock labelling for Tilly. She has been very busy with her artwork and even managed to order some coasters from her latest designs.


I hope you are enjoying the slightly warmer weather - we could do with some dry, sunny days now.

Have a good week.
