SWEETS FOR MY SWEET...
Hi there all you lovely Deskers, hope you've had a good week! This one has shot by, it's been all go - I've had more time in the JanCave and am crafting like mad as I've signed up for nine events between October to December - fortunately my RNLI buddies are helping run the stalls, I'm very grateful!
I've made up a few trios from this very pretty floral fabric with lavender and pink contrasts, they just need some ribbon to tie them all together.
Most of my yarn crafting has been Christmas related, this is what my guest room looks at the moment:
And there is much more to come courtesy of my friends!
My friend Kim (aka Chief Titivator *grin*) has been doing sterling work putting the holly leaves and berries on the Christmas puds. I've not started stuffing the 24 chocolate oranges into anything yet, it's only a matter of time lol!!
I was opening up the dining room curtains on Sunday morning and saw a brown bedraggled bird sitting on our fence:
A juvenile female sparrowhawk! She was there for about ten minutes obviously just resting, her feathery petticoats were being blown around by the gusty wind. I had a really good look at her through the binoculars, the pic is a bit fuzzy as it was taken on my phone. She flew off after a magpie came down to hassle her but it was a really magical start to the day!
Short and sweet this week unlike last Wednesday - hope you have a good week ahead, enjoy your crafting xxxxx

Your trios are pretty, and your Christmassy makes look smart. I wondered if you go to a Cash and Carry for the Chocolate oranges and rochers?
I love seeing your picture of a sparrowhawk.
Happy WOYWE

Missed your post last week, internet was very spotty in the Adriatic, I almost had a week off phone and online stuff it was by turn annoying and restful! Looks
Like your hols were fab, lovely pics of your big sis and big sis, pleased to see them both looking so well I must add. Totally bowled over by the guest bed - what a collection. You so make the making of them
Look easy I must say, and props to Kim, those leaves and beads are v fiddly if you ask me!

Oh, you have been busy, Jan. I'm loving all your makes. So many good ways of using up all those leftover bits of yarn. I'm certain Silver would be most impressed with your fabulous visitor. A step up from the gulls and magpies that we see here everyday. Have a great week. Hugs, Elizabeth x #11
What a lovely display! I'll have a hedgehog or two, some pumpkins, and a gnome please! Someday when I visit Wales, I will be sure to drop by! The Sparrowhawk was a nice surprise! What a beautiful bird, we don't have them here. Happy WOYWW!🍂Lindart #13
