A poke and a prod ...

I spent the day with the craft group yesterday

where I had arranged for Sharon of 

MAID IN RAGS

Kit £7.99

to do a demonstration and workshop on rag rugging

It was really successful, everyone enjoyed it.

This is mine which will be a pretty hessian cushion

when its finished.

The back is as nice as the front I think.

You can see i've added machine stitching and buttons to it.

I've yet to see what the others do with their creations.

Linking to FRIDAY SMILES

For those of you who are still trying to guess what this is, all will be revealed on Wednesday when the nosey lot who look around everyones desks are back.

Here's a final clue

In "time" gone by it was used by tradesmen, it may still be used by some.

The middle slidy bit is upside down as I am using it to hang things from.

It's not a boot remover or for stretching things. 

It's not a jar opener or something you would find in a shed. 

So for the final "time" have you any ideas what it is ?

Sing as you go and a turnip

 Our craft gang had a lovely time yesterday at Park Farm, Ramsbottom, Lancashire when the hardworking team there hosted a two day 1940's Sing-A-Long Afternoon Tea in aid of the local Dementia Society.

 

It was nice to see people dressed up in their vintage outfits.

 

The afternoon tea was gorgeous. 

I will be booking in again for another of these.

 

Over a 100 people attended and

 we were entertained by a mother and daughter team 

who got us all singing along to the songs of the 1940's

We had a quiz as well, which I got the booby prize of

 a turnip for having the least correct answers.

I was okay on the music ones but rubbish on the history ones.

Here's me with Susan and Judith two of the sisters that help 

to run this fantastic family business.

They are a fabulous family and we all love visiting the tearooms, farm shop, florist and garden centre when we have our monthly craft meeting there.

Look what Postman John brought ......

I've had some lovely things given to me recently including the Artist At Work peg from my friend Gill at Park Farm Shop & Garden Centre.  If you live in Lancashire and can get to Ramsbottom go and visit their tearoom and shop everything is homemade and its run by a great family.

The map peg was made by my friend Jacqui and the map is of Ayside where our caravan is sited.  She also made me the little red cushion which is now on display in my studio/workroom. 

Look at this lovely collage made by Logan who is five this week and lives in Scotland.

He made it with the help of his grandma who sent me this lovely card and sprinkly bits.  I've already used some in a box I've sent out.  Thank you Mo and have a great birthday Logan.

 This beautifully made tag came from Mel (the Yorkshire Fox blogger) as a thank you

for the buttons i sent her with a fox on them.

She is such a clever lady.  Have a look at her wonderful creations.

And here's a lunch bag I designed and illustrated for a young lady starting school.

Wrapped up ready to go

 

Thank you to everyone for the lovely goodies and to Postman John for delivering them and also a big hello to the new followers of my blog.  I hope you like it.
