WOYWW....

Hello blogging friends.  

Firstly if you haven't put your name down in the blog shop and would like to be in with a chance to win the first of our weekly gifts then please pop over here and leave us a comment saying what you would use the apron for and why you would like it.  Good luck girls.



Now as you know this week is half term for a lot of schools so I'm sure I'm not alone at having extra company this week.  My table has been taken over by my daughter but it's not fun activities for her cos she is the teacher not the pupil and it's book marking that she has taken the table over with.  It's so lovely to have her company  :-)







On my rail is a fun outfit this week.  I've not made it and only had to sew new fastenings on the front but I thought you might like to see the Gruffalo outfit with it's purple spikes on his back.  It's really brilliant and has been very cleverly made.









The other picture I've taken to share with you is one of the beautiful snowdrops I can see from my sewing room window.  The churchyard opposite our house is full of them at the mo and they are all out in full bloom .  How pretty.



 


Thats all from me today so pop over to Julia's blog and link up with pictures of what you're up to this week showing your creative spaces exposed  :-) .....and don't forget to put your name down over in the blog shop for a chance to win yourself a crafting apron.



Update....I would really like to thank some of my blogging friends who have awarded me with the Stylish blog award.  This is one I have received before so I will have to have a think what I can share with everyone about me that you don't already know but thank you so much to the writers of these fab blogs for thinking of me.....Pams space, It's an Alien Life and Maggie's Crafts.

    gorgeous picture of the snowdrops. Love the Gruffalo outfit but the desk ... reminds me of when I taught - not much fun spending your breaks catching up on marking. My sympathy to your daughter. #27

    When I first glimpsed the Gruffalo outfit I wondered what you were up to now, lol!
    Lovely picture of the snowdrops! They are all over the place here in Canada right now too, and little purple crocuses as well. Spring is coming!

    i have a tub of snowdrops outside my back door, I sit on the step and look at them whilst I drink my morning coffee - they are so beautifully delicate and unassuming,

    Snow drops look really pretty just in a drift. Looked out of my craft window this morning just in time to watch 'Mr Squirel' coming in for his supply of monkey nuts.

    Is it for 'where the wild things are?' - the costume that is?

    Oh Annie, it’s such a shame your table is covered with your daughters marking…….maybe you can help her check them and then you can get down to something more creative together. Mind you, if the kids school books are anything like mine when I was younger there’ll be quite a lot of ‘creativeness’ inside the covers!

    Love the garden photo.
    I came back from my holiday to sight of my bulbs coming up. A welcome sign that Spring is just around the corner!

    Glorious views of inside and out! Love the thought that you live opposite the churchyard - sounds so wonderfully rural and Jane Austen-ish (though I realise it may not be!).

    Thanks for the comment about the lace - often look back and wonder how I had a s much time to do what I did when my boys were small but have decided its an energy factor and not a time factor.
    love the Gruffolo!

    Love the snow drops, so beautiful. I have no idea what a Gruffalo is and judging by that costume I don't think I want to know!!

    Love snowdrops. when I was a kid, lived on a farm and the 'big house' had a garden that us 'kids' could get into via a secret passageway between the high wall and the thick cover of trees. I's nip in the garden and pick loads of snowdrops for my mum. I often wonder if the secret way in is still there.. Love the monsters outfit. I still have a dragon in my attic.
