WOYWW 438

Good morning all here we are another Wednesday where are the days going to?

So what is on my desk/table this morning - pretty much the same as all the other previous weeks, I am so looking forward to see the back of Christmas material.


At present it is dog bandanas both Christmas and every day, because I am making so many I have cut templates from cereal boxes. Haven't had cereals for months so a nice change for breakfast for the next few weeks. Do you like the flamingo a friend knitted for one of the fairs, I had him lying in a storage box and every time I put something in there he popped his head out.

Saw this on face book and thought how appropriate.

Now to the trouble makers in my life. Our weather is still very warm and to get the last of the days sun my two cats have started lying right in the corner of the garden, I am sure it isn't comfortable on the stones but they don't seem to mind.

So that is it for this past week, a quick tidy round then off to my sewing class.
Now to link up with Julia who hosts are weekly get together at stamping-ground.blogspot.com

Good morning all,

I don't know whether I am coming or going this last week but do know I am very behind even though I started preparing for Christmas many months ago.

Having taken my items to various meetings I have sold so many that I am beginning to wonder if I will have enough for the four Christmas fair I have booked,

Last week someone gave me a Dammit doll to make so the weekend was spent making these. I them sold six on Monday and have an order for another six.


Now someone has asked me for some Christmas bunting, someone else for Christmas dog bandanas. HELP

This used to be my business before I retired so enjoyed the big craft events but who would have thought that at 70 I would be starting over again!

So this is my desk/s this week every available space taken over with cut out, prepared, ready to sew etc.

cut out ready to be backed with waterproof

Finished ready for pricing

Ready to sew

Looking for material table.



I can just about find a place to eat and place a drink so onward and upward as my late husband used to say. Hopefully I will get round to visiting I did manage last week to visit all if not comment on all.

Off now to my sewing class well I am taking some knitting as a break from sewing then this afternoon to my Ladies class, retired, boredom  who me never.

Good evening everyone, can't believe I am posting at this hour 19.00 instead of 07.00 I have just come home from being out since 9.00am when I started at my sewing group, then on to the Ladies group this afternoon and this evening to meet a member of the Spanish Red Cross who want to do a presentation along with the Guardia Civil on security for the over 65's.

I am supposed to be retired well no time to be bored.

Where has the week gone? I don't know but have quite a stash of goodies now for my fairs. The machine and me has been working overtime.



I have had to move my material over to the other table as a lady gave me this dammit doll and asked if I could make a template and sew some of them so brown paper a pencil and a quick draw round and hey presto. Needs a little tweaking and obviously I can't get the printed fabric label so will have to do with a label round the neck.


Also in view are some little Christmas socks.

Right I am going now need a drink. will link up with stamping-ground.blogspot.com

Have a good week all.

WOYWW 435 4th October

Good morning all, can't believe it is October already - well yes I can because it has gone really quiet here and we have are resort back to ourselves. Most of the hotels closed over the weekend and now with the demise of Monarch one has to wonder what summer 2018 will bring.

So what is on my table this week, see below.


The items at the back are Christmas aprons all folded and priced ready to take to my Women on Wednesday group (we have now changed our name though, LOL Ladies of Leisure or whatever you want the initials to mean!) A number of us have broken away and started a group of our own as we didn't like the chosen new venue.
Last week I took the aprons with me to show someone and ended up selling them and being asked for some more, so this week it has been sew, sew, sew. The colourful material at the front are a number of peg bags cut out and ready to sew.
I am beginning to wonder if I will ever get back to my card making I do miss it.

Hope all who went to the crop had an enjoyable time looking forward to seeing pictures and trying to put names to faces as I have never met any of you.

Now to link up with our host Julia at http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com.

Will be along later to read and comment. I leave you with some pictures taken from my terrace on Tuesday evening. Beautiful coloured sky, then the moon putting in an appearance and finally a close up of the moon. I am so lucky to live in this part of the world.
