WOYWW...

Here we are at another fun Wednesday exposing a little of our crafty space to the world thanks to the wonderful Julia.  Do pop over to say hello, link up and join in the fun.

I am having to do a quick show and tell today cos this is one of my Wednesdays when I've got...

.....some serious jigsaw making to do and lots of fun to be had with my little twinnie munchkins today.

I will be doing my best to pay you all return visits tomorrow when I have a little more time.....between the rail full of sewing jobs I have already got to do [boy it's been one very busy week for me].



I have now finished the 5th of my quiet book fun pages to amuse the little ones with.  This has a cute little wooden bee on it and he has already become a firm favourite with the twins.  If you want a closer look you should be able to click on the pic to enlarge it.

There are more ideas in the pipe line for other pages but we have spent every spare minute tidying, dusting and cleaning for folk to come to view our house this week.....not saying too much at this stage but pleaseeeeee keep everything crossed for us.

The last thing I want to share with you today is what came through my letter box this week.  These are the 5 stunning cards I ordered from my blogging friend Fi over at MarmaladeRose.  They are prints taken from some of her amazing felted pictures that she has been busy making lately and I just love them.  If you would like to grab some of your own then please follow the link.....trust me when I say you wont want to give them away.  :-)


Hope you have all enjoyed your visit today and leave me a little hello message.  I promise to do my best to pop over to yours to say hello as soon as I can.
Hugs,
Annie x

20 Minuters

I have joined a group called 20 Minuters thanks to a New Years Resolution started by MarmaladeRose. The idea is that every day, for the next year, we have to promise to do 20 minutes [at least] of a creative craft. It can be sewing, knitting, crocheting, card making or anything else that takes your fancy. The idea is that, even if you have a day when you aren't feeling very inspired, you spend 20 minutes doing something even if it's something as simple as stitching just straight lines on fabric. The plan is to make crafting a daily habit and hopefully out of that comes more inspiration. I know we all have days when the mojo goes walk about so I'm definitely up for the challenge.
I started yesterday, on a day when I desperately needed inspiration. I spent a couple of hours dumfing on just strips of white felt. I made 3 strips of felt like this with the idea that on a more inspired day I can embellish these with buttons/beads/threads and cut them up to make card toppers. It was a really good exercise and I will blog the results soon. Thanks lots MarmaladeRose for giving me the incentive to have a go.

One of the ladies in the group has a really super give-away at the mo so pop over to here to take a look.
